23rd February 2019. The Oldham Panorama 1876 at Gallery Oldham, Union Street, Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Please note, this is not my photograph. It is my shot of a photograph in an art gallery in Oldham! A fantastic montage of photographs taken well over a hundred years ago. Worth the visit to this gallery for this alone, but all of the displays were good. I loved it, and will return. This panorama was about four yards long and a yard high. Brilliant! I love this section of the image. It shows the sewing machine factory, and a parade of coal wagons, some of which are from South Yorkshire (Silkstone), West Yorkshire (Flockton) and Derbyshire (Clay Cross). Wonderful!

I have tried and failed to find a person on these images. Is that because of the time of day, or a long time exposure on the photographs?
