A Snicket in Halifax 2022

 A Snicket in Halifax is a well known photo taken by Bill Brandt, a German born English photographer in 1937. The original picture which can be widely seen online shows a short cobbled hill climb from Old Lane, Dean Clough - North Bridge that led to a bridge across the then Queensbury Lines Railway and on towards Boothtown - Haley Hill. Whilst the railway has long since been removed the snicket and bridge still remain, the former line underneath being left to become overgrown with vegetation in recent years.

A snicket is commonly a phrase used in Northern England for a passageway between houses, garden's and fences. Also sometimes referred to as alley, ginnel, passage, path or alleyway.

The mill building shown in the background forms part of the Dean Clough complex and is known as Bowling Mill.

My copy which can be seen below or full size, resolution and un-watermarked on Clickasnap was taken on Sunday 3rd July 2022 using a Nikon d3300 SLR.

The original colour version I took of the picture can also be seen on Clickasnap and below,
