Title
Hebden Bridge - Whit Monday 1856 - HLS05057
Description
Possibly the oldest picture in the Pennine Horizons Archive.
Whit Monday 1856 with 3000 Sunday School scholars and teachers with banners, gathered in The Croft, or more correctly the White Horse Croft. Seen here looking over to the rear of buildings on Bridge Gate with Bridge Mill chimney and the Buttress climbing up top right, with Hangingroyd Farm towards the top of the picture. To the left of Bridge Mill chimney is Hartley, Brass & Iron Foundry on Bridge Gate. By the time this photo was taken the Croft was up for sale in plots one of which was purchased by the Baptists for Hope Chapel.
