Fishing at Gigg Mill weir
This is Gigg mill weir. It is located on the river Dane about a mile below Wincle. It can only be accessed via public footpaths, the nearest road being half a mile away. The weir has been re-built in modern times. On the far bank, where the trees are in the picture, there used to be a paper making mill.

Crowd watching Coronation event on Recreation Ground
A large crowd, in their Sunday best, sitting on the terraces overlooking the Recreation Ground. While we know it was to do with a coronation (Edward VII, 1902) we do not know what the actual activity was that they were watching!

Palmerston Street
The building on the left is the Holly Bush Inn as it was before the brewer’s Tudor was applied in the 1930s.

Red Lion fields / brow
Seems to be taken before the Red Lion Inn was built although a piece of land is hedged off in the corner.
