Description: | 6th April 1929. View of Morley from the air. Queen Street runs from the bottom left hand corner to run off the photo at middle right. Part of Commercial Street is shown across the bottom right hand corner; there is a little of New Brighton in the top right section and where Corporation Street was due to go is seen right at the top. The mills and quarries which all gradually disappeared over the next 70 years dominate the scene. Mill chimneys shown wholly or partly are: Queen's Mill, Albert Mill, Wesley Street Mill, Hope Street Mill, Peel Street Mill and probably Peel Mill. All the old textiles buildings around the mill chimneys have also disappeared except for the Wesley Street building used for the Groundwork Trust. Deep quarries are shown behind the Scatcherd Park bowling green and spoil heaps behind Morley House. Buildings connected with the quarrying are to be seen behind Queen's and Albert Mills and allotments are in the Corporation Street area. Also shown are the Manor House, Dransfield's woodyard, Princess Street, Henry Place and the gas and electricity showrooms.
