My late mother[Josephine Crisp- nee Cork] told me that the chap on the right was her great grandfather, Joe Boyle. Prior to her death she had researched some family history on her father's side & found that an ancestor in the 1700s had been fined at the county assizes for emptying a chamber pot out of the bedroom window onto the street somewhere in Skipton!!

As youngsters we slid down the chutes and into two abandoned barges which still held their last cargoes of stone. The building in the photo was the weighbridge office. The weighbridge was immediately in front.
