More about this scene
Former mill workers' houses, now modernised, line the beck. Low Row is to the left, the lowest of three similar rows; Middle Row had been demolished by the time of the picture. The bridge is one of a number built in the 19th century – previously, Cark had just one bridge over the beck.

This photograph was probably taken at some time in 1967-68, a bit later than 1965, when the first council houses were built. My gran is in the photo, talking to the woman and girl. The adjacent houses where Alf Thompson lived weren't built until a year or so later than the ones shown.
This is my father-in-law Austin A35 parked on the road, Alf Thompson was the owner.
