Church Street Recruiting for the Boer war.

The lady at the front of the picture is possible Mrs Hoyland with her son Alex. The outbuildings behind the ladies were called Moors Fold and are no longer there. The corner of Hall farm outbuildings can be seen just beyond Moors Fold. The building in the distance is Grange cottage and farm. The houses on the right of the photograph are Victoria Terrace which still stand today opposite the Methodist Church.

I can only presume that the buildings on the far left of the photograph are Fieldhead House and Fieldhead Cottage, which stood on the boundary and the car park of the present day Brierley Hall.
