Best of luck finding such a pic , and if you do I hope you will post it here. All the red brick terraces in Harehills for example were built around 1900. I think photos of ordinary houses actually taken during construction might be rare. Why would anyone, at the time, want a photo of a half-built back-to-back rather than the finished houses?Far easier to find pictures of the houses being demolished in the post war period.

That is what I thought too hence my strange question.
