Skinningrove from Loftus Pit

It’s a pretty poor title and time hasn’t been kind to the image either!  Some nice architecture on display here, would that be the gas works in the foreground? Derick Pearson confirmed this fact, also advising: “If you look at the left side of the photograph you can just make out the tunnel that went under the railway. We used to walk under this on our way home from school. When it was wet weather it was often flooded. Traffic used to have to go through it in single file.”
