The poster on the Britain from above website is quite right, it is Fartown, Huddersfield.

I saw a report about the website on a BBC news item yesterday. Some images were shown and one of them was an old one said to show the Headingley ground and a comment was made that it had not changed that much. I wonder if the photo used by the BBC was the wrongly identified one.

They were still doing that the last time I went to a cricket test at Headingley but that was nearly twenty years ago.Interesting now that there is summer RL. When did summer RL start?
