A few images of Carr Steps in 2008.
Hi Ted,
Please find attached some pics which I have taken
today, the footpath to the steps begins in what is now Carrbottom Fold and
climbs the hills which are known locally as Scaly Hills. At the top of the
hill the footpath divides into two. The left hand fork which now becomes
virtually impassable, used to go to the mill which was sited on the right
hand side of Wibsey bank looking up. The right hand branch continues to the
bottom of Chapel Street and is still used by locals. The houses in the
picture have been demolished and replaced by a new estate, I will try to
find out the name of the original street. In some of the close ups which I
have attached you can make out the same stones which were present in the
original picture. It is impossible to recreate the picture due to new
foliage, I would be interested to know when the picture was taken, if you
can find out.
One more point of interest: how did you colour
the black and white photo?
