This could possibly be a view of a Sunday School or church outing in Carlin How Square, based upon the style of dress and the numbers of young people in the image. We are told by Derick Pearson: ”This was the Carlin How Wagonette trip in 1909. Some wagons, rulleys or carts as they were called were set up with seats but the others had benches taken from the pub and the Chapel which were then roped to the carts for safety. This would have a big event in those days.” Ned Seagull updates with: “That’s Front Street, which after passing Wesley Terrace and the erntrance to the works becomes Mount Pleasant; with the shops on the right and Mill Bank (heading off on the right) in the background.”
