David Culley writes:-
The photo was taken by her son in law Stan Bailey and passed to me by his son Ted. Note the tram lines! Upstairs the floor was level with the bottom of the window so you had to kneel or sit on the floor to look out and of course the ceiling used at least part of the roof space.

Notice the millstones no doubt from Thrybergh water mill. I believe there may be some remains of this building but I’ve never got round to searching the OS marked site.
