Lingdale War Memorial (another manufactured by Arrowsmith’s of Loftus) is shown against the backdrop of the shale heap at Lingdale. Today the memorial remains, but the shale heaps which dominated the village are now a distant memory. Paula Miller tells us: ”The workers shed on the right of the photograph is now situated on Busky allotments and still going strong.” Andrew Munro comments: “The shale heaps in the background are a fair size.” Whilst Derick Pearson advises: “These heaps did get much larger (higher than this) after this photograph was taken.”
