Description:An event on an unknown street, possibly Stockport. A portrait of Queen Victoria and bunting can be seen.
Further Information:

It is thought this could be a celebration for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, or a celebration for a town such as Stockport becoming a borough (which it did in 1889), hence the banner "Success to our borough" which can be seen. Houses similar to those seen here can be seen in Heaviley, Shaw Heath and the area on the Offerton side in Stockport.
