Children of the Baptist Sunday School outside the Baptist Church in Market Street, possibly celebrating the centenary of the Sunday School in 1910. The Church was built in 1877 and demolished in 1938 when it relocated to new premises in Western Terrace. The Falmouth trade directories record that John Stephens ran his tobacconist and hairdressing business next door at 21 Market Street from 1895 until at least 1921; Mrs Stephens was running the business in 1926.
