The above photo was slightly too big for the scanner so the top one shows the roof where as the second scans the bottom area more.

I think this is a photo from inside the Timothy Hackworth Museum House in Shildon. The photograph was done by  Walter davey and sons, Harrogate.
I think this is from the centenary 1925?
