Probably a Church or Chapel Sunday School's day out walking along Midgehole Road towards the Drive into the Crags. The building is the end of Crimsworth Terrace.
These gentlemen could no doubt tell a tale or two.
Possibly in the back yard of the Cross Inn at Heptonstall. The Cross Inn has had a lot of changes over the years. The name of the inn may have been taken from the cross above the door.
A real action picture even though there are as many watchers as workers. In the background you can see the White Horse Inn and further still, Zion Chapel. The building on the right has since been given a new look. From a stereographic photograph.
The gaily striped pavilion, a little downstream from Gibson Mill, was a popular venue for visitors to the Crags. Today the building remains but near derelict and the stepping stones have been dislodged by successive floods and not repaired.
