The picture of the two men by the gates are not the park gates, but Crewe cemetery gates in Broad Street...and I think the man on the left may be my great grandfather Edmund Parry Morgan who was cemetery superintendent in the 1900s

...My mother has confirmed that it is my great grandfather at the cemetery gates,and that the other man is Roger Dutton who eventually became Mayor.
