Russell Wortley said of the'photo: "So far as I know, none of the surviving original prints of the photograph is dated. The best estimate of its age that I have been able to get was from the late Robert (Bob) Rolfe whose father Alfred stands third from the left in the group. Bob told me that he reckoned his father was no more than 30 at the time and that the photo must therefore have been taken in the 1870s. According to a note in George Butterworth's 'Diary of Morris Dance Hunting' (Folk Music Journal, 1977, p. 199) the photograph was then, in 1912, said to have been taken "about 30 years ago", this makes it, so far as I am aware, the earliest extant photograph of a Cotswold morris side"
"Joe Powell (wrongly named Jim Pole in The Morris Book) is in the centre."
