The photo has been scanned probably from a glass plate image, the wrong way round. If you download, use a photo-editor and horizonat flip the image you will see the image as photographed Thanks grumpytramp. Something new I have learnt.

This is the interesting photo (but not horizontally flipped) with W Benson in it that is referred to in the post by uncle mick.[img]http://digital.library.leeds.ac.uk/1303/[/img]On the sloping part next to a propped open vent is what looks like a body wrapped up! I'm sure its not, but you never know! I think my imagination may be getting too much! Edit just after posting. I thought the image would be shown but only the link is so I've done something wrong! Ooops.

Thanks for that mick. I see according to the Flickr page it currently states "This photo was taken 16 minutes ago."!

I had a quick look on the Leeds ac site but found it hard to search/use and perhaps need to play on it.I think it doesn't yield Google image searches.Sad that in the early 1900's they only photo'd a lot of stuff at point of demolition, like the King's Mills before the tramshed.
