Are you young enough in mind to tell us what that big chimney was in the background Billy???????????? The chimney and its building was Highfield mills occupied By Henry Moore who made amongst other things army uniforms. EDIT Now demolished it stood to the left of Ringtons tea factory.

As far as I remember that chimney was up a yard at the side of Ringtons and the Plaza club, I dont know what type of industry though, there was a gateway that led, up a narrow,rough roadway where it opened up into a square,there were lock ups in that yard and a friend had one where he messed about about with scooters and bikes.Edited Billy, I have looked at Old Maps and if the chimney was in the Lady Pit Lane area I am at a loss to find anything industrial there?

Is this it? Dewsbury Road near the junction with Oakley Terrace?http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=hillidg ... 25,,0,0The skyline at the bottom would match.

If someone could show Me how to go on Google maps then post that massive great big link that goes with it I will show the exact corner where the camera was.

The skyline doesn't match on the other suggestion - I think! ETA: Go to Google Street View and there's a chain link symbol on the left. Copy and paste the link.

On the menu to the left there is a printer icon and a chain icon (link)Click on the chain copy the URL from the top box and paste into a message on here (I've just noticed the option to shorten the URL on that dialog too)
