It just says "Edward family" on the back. Comment from Edmund Wilkinson below tells us more. From Marple Local History Society Archives.

I would think that there are many people in Marple who know of this family. The photo itself also appears on page 23 of Yesterday in Marple and Mellor by Ann Ashworth with a short synopsis of the life of a middle class family. I believe their home was Stonehurst on Hibbert Lane, now sheltered dwellings, and latterly the two daughters who never married lived in a semi detached house at the Church Lane end of Hibbert Lane, the other half of which is or was a vets surgery. They were life long supporters of the Liberal Party and were living there in the mid 1960s, but elderly. At one time one of these ladies was confined to a spinal wheelchair having been partially paralysed by a vaccination so I believe but she appeared to have recovered somewhat in later life.

Thomas Edwards was in business as a cotton manufacturer and calico printer. In 1911, his wife Mary and their daughters, Mary (b1894) and Edith (b1895) were staying at Towercroft on Church Lane. The family subsequently lived at Stonehurst and were still there in 1939.
