An odd photograph

This photograph was recently donated to our archive.

So why is this photograph a mystery ?

Well we know where it was taken - obviously it's the top of Priest Bank Road; and we have a good idea of when - probably in the 1920s or '30s. What we don't know is why ?

What is it about this view that was worth the time and effort that would have been involved in order to take it ?

If you can help us resolve this mystery, please email us at email history@farnhill.co.uk.
