[in a very fine hand] My guess is Margaret & Hilda about 1920. |
From here, I have tried to place the photos in roughly chronological order.

A couple of these have 8 Meade Grove written on the back and they all appear to be taken in the same place. Those from the Reynolds Collection are dated "1933?" but we'll go with Hilda's date.

I'm not sure the swimmers were at Old Colwyn but the snaps look to have come from the same film. I doubt that next three are from the same film, they are marked "1937 or 1938", but the swimsuit shoulder straps match and they continue the aquatic theme. (Yes, I know, left and centre are mirror images of the same shot.)
