Just found this old photo in an album with the caption 'Men of the mill' I don't know who and I don't know when, probably in the late 1920's early 1930's.

What a brilliant, natural photo.
Can anyone else see a sort of ghost image and a face of some sort beneath it (a dog maybe?)

It looks more like a cat to me!

Tricia. There is a ghost image there. It is similar to a bear , it has at least one sticking up ear, a large mouth, two big eyes, and a shiny nose. It is looking in a cockeyed way.

Or it's just an old grainy picture where you can make anything out you want, come on people! Great photo Harry.

I think what you are seeing are finger prints that I didn't try to clean to much in case of damaging the photo.

I think the man on the right is Jimmy Huxley. He lived at the top of Queen St.
