Children and bathing machines

What we know about this image :

The children are all smiling for the camera except the young boy in his sailor suit whose attention appears to be elsewhere. The children include Ralph, Fred & Kitty Hulton, two Lumley boys and Lillian Hogg.

In the 19th century a bathing attendant, Mary, worked for 25 years 'dipping' the ladies and little boys.
