![The black and white photograph depicts a group of seven individuals standing side by side outdoors during the day, with buildings visible in the background. They appear to be partaking in a public gathering or protest, as indicated by their casual yet purposeful stance.
From left to right:
1. An older man wearing glasses, a beige suit coat over a dark shirt and trousers, his hands clasped together.
2. A younger male with curly hair, dressed in a long grey trench coat over light-colored pants, holding what appears to be a newspaper or magazine under one arm.
3. Another young individual sporting a loose-fitting jacket and baggy trousers; he is looking upward at something off-camera.
4. An older man wearing glasses and a dark cap with ear flaps, dressed in a casual outfit including a long-sleeved shirt tucked into his pants and shoes, has an expressive gesture as if speaking or reacting to the situation around him.
5. A young male in a striped sweater over light-colored trousers; he seems engaged in conversation.
6. Another individual wearing a dark suit with a lighter colored tie, looking at something off-camera with concern or interest.
7. The last person on the right is dressed in white pants and a darker shirt, observing his surroundings.

![The image shows four individuals, two men and two women, sitting on a bench outside what appears to be the Wellington Town Hall in Mercer Street. The photograph is presented in black and white, giving it an older feel.
The man standing has his arms crossed and leans against one of the columns beside him, wearing glasses, a cardigan over a long-sleeved shirt with pants and shoes on both feet. His expression seems contemplative or possibly tired.
One woman sits to the left side with her legs extended; she is dressed in a light-colored coat paired with sunglasses and a hat. She appears engaged but relaxed while holding onto what looks like a wallet, with one leg casually resting on the bench seat.
The other seated woman wears glasses as well and also dons a lighter shade of outerwear that seems to be both stylish and practical for outdoor wear during colder weather. Her posture is upright yet comfortable.
Across from them stands another man in casual attire composed of what looks like an unbuttoned coat or sweater, jeans with boots on his feet, hands folded at chest level as he gazes into the distance, displaying a pensive expression.
The setting features architectural details typical for public buildings: large stones forming part of both benches and walls. The building's entrance is not directly visible but there appears to be an air vent or similar feature below it.

![The image is a black and white photograph capturing a group of people gathered outdoors, possibly at an event or public gathering. Among the crowd are several individuals wearing coats with fur collars, indicating it may be cold weather. One prominent woman in glasses and a coat looks off to her right side, while another woman wears sunglasses and appears engaged with something out of frame on her left.
In addition to adults, there is at least one child present; this young girl has curly blonde hair and covers part of the lower face area visible in the photo. The expressions range from contemplative or focused looks among some attendees to more neutral emotions for others.
The attire suggests a somewhat formal occasion with people dressed neatly but not overly ornately. No specific activities are discernible, as most individuals have their attention directed elsewhere; however, it appears they might be watching something out of frame given the collective directionality of gazes and overall ambiance of attentiveness. The photograph's grayscale nature adds to its historical or vintage feel.
