Photograph of painters and decorators in the early 20th century. The men are standing behind a sign advertising the firm of W. Barton junior, 2 Kimberley Road, Croydon, and are holding paint brushes, pots / buckets, a sweeping brush and other pieces of equipment. They are wearing a mix of working clothes ( overalls) and smarter suits for the photographer. The man on the left of the image is posing with one hand on his hip whilst leaning on a ladder with 'Barton decorator' stamped on the side.
