Ref: 030LG. Taken at Little Lear Ings. The cat was called Benjamin. Gentleman seated was head gardener for Calderdale Council, his wife was called Joyce.
This is the first floor of the building, the ground floor is on the other side, facing Hangingroyd Lane. Two more steps lead to the second row of flats.
In ancient times a cat would sometimes be walled into a house when it was being built, this was supposed to bring good luck to the house - it certainly didn't bring it to the cat.
