Does this old photograph ring any bells?

Hi All.

First update of the new year :

Tug-of-War Association kindly replied to my query but, unfortunately, their records do not go back far enough.

On a brighter note, The Friends Of Robert Park passed my email and photo onto the Saltaire History society. They are very enthusiastic about researching the photo. The also mentioned running an article in the Telegraph and Argus - who, incidentally, didn't reply to my email!

I'll keep you informed as and when anything happens.

Regards and a Happy New Year to you all.

David.

I think the Nostalgia section in the T&A might be a weekly item so there is a chance that your photo might still get published. You could always send it again to whoever writes that section. The T&A has quite a lot of readers so it looks like a good option if the others fall flat
good luck

Hi David

I currently live in Saltaire so if you would like any photographs of Roberts park and the mill as it stands today, I can attempt some, although we are currently under a deluge of snow so Im not sure how they would look! Or if you need any more local info, I can try and find out

Kind regards

David,
I've just had a look at the link that I posted earlier and your letter is now on view in the T&A Nostalgia section

Hi Dave.

Thanks for the info on T&A Nostalgia section. I've just had a look, thanks to you. Great isn't it - is it purely an internet publication or will the article actually be in the paper? And is there a specific day of the week that it would be in?

Sorry Dave, I'm taking it for granted that you'll know. If not, no probrem! Thanks anyway.

What a kind offer, PurpleCupcake. It would,actually, be nice to have a present-day photo taken from the same place as the old one. I had thought about visiting Roberts Park for that purpose sometime in the future but if you get the chance....

If you feel like I do about this weather, you'll not be venturing out till this lot's gone! There's no rush for the photo - anytime that's convenient. It'll be much appreciated.

Thanks all. Will keep you updated.

Regards, David.

Hi David,
We only get the T&A only very occasionally so I don't know much about it but I am assuming the letter would have been in Mondays edition (the date on the internet posting). If I can shovel enough snow away I'll try and get next Mondays edition, there may be a reply or two.

No problem It might look quite atmospheric in the snow, I have this weekend free and I want to have a wander down to have a look anyway. Ill get some photos for you and eventually (when the weather clears) I can get some clearer ones too!
