Where was he from? It looks a bit like a Staffordshire Knot to me.

Sorry it's taken so long ~ unable to concentrate

Here are 3 slightly different ones
Can easily change the colours if you fancy something else

Rachel you are so clever, you have done a beautiful job on them, thank you so much xxx

Hi Mo
His jacket's interesting ~ enlarged, it doesn't quite look like wool, more like a Moleskin or Suede of some kind, especially with that edging.

Don't know if you can tell better from the original ?
Any idea what he did for a living ?

If you could come up with a better scan sometime, then the badge ought to show up in more detail.
The pic's too pixellated when enlarged to see it properly

Hi Rachel,
On the 1891 Census aged 14 he was an office boy (post), on marriage certificate 1897 he was a seaman, 1901 Census he was a painter, 1911 House Painter, army records say's own plumbing business, 2nd marriage 1918 he's a Painter Journeyman.
I had also heard from an older relative some years ago that he worked as a sanitary inspector for Liverpool corporation, but i really dont know for sure.

I also scanned the pic at 600dpi and 1200dpi but it looks no different to me, and i cant see anything on the badge that would give me a clue.
Thanks Rachel.

Please can you put the 600dpi scan on here and remember to have your Photobucket file size set to the maximum (that's 1 MB for the free account)
