Truncated In Elland

As Saddleworth Road runs into the town of Elland, there is a strange outcrop of trees sprouting out of the tops of truncated mill chimneys. This phenomenon is unique to this area and biologists travel from around the world to witness it. My 1980s photo captures it at an early stage of development, but I am having difficulty tracking down which chimney this actually is.

  1. Looking at the original photo you can see the building on the right with the slit window and the perturbing Gibb. The terrace house’s have been demolished. Hope this helps
