Used to go to Mary Mags, church and Sunday school when I was little. We lived just round the corner on Whalley Road.

I think the west end of the church has been rebuilt, if you look at the pic in this link

GENUKI: St Mary Magdalen Church of England, Accrington, Lancashire genealogy

the window looks quite modern. The plinth at the bottom of the wall looks about the same as in your photo but the buttresses aren't quite right. In your pic the bottom step of the buttress has two slabs covering it but in the modern pic the buttress has two separate steps at the bottom each with a separate covering.

What gets me about your pic is that the children are all wearing the same outfits, white smocks/shirts and straw hats, yet it doesn't look like a school photo and there are too many adults to all be teachers for one class.
