Situated on Holme Street, the brick building is the Trades Club, and behind the trees is Riverside School. The old Little Theatre has been demolished and preparations are starting for building the new one.
The chimney of Bridge Mill can be seen to the right of the picture. The houses on the left were pulled down and are now the site of the Council Offices.
Due to the increase in the weight of traffic many bridges had to be strengthened around this time. Hebden Bridge Council Offices are in the background.
