A great piece of history here. Marvellous mono photo. You're correct. the sepia toning compliments the historic feel. Thanks for your visit.

Artist Reply: many thanks to everyone for their comments - this was a b/w neg, but i have printed it up commercially in sepia because it kinda suits it - its not cheating! If anyone would like to buy a copy, please go to my website - www.julz.org

How green was my valley, with coal in every alley.
