A view of Front Street, Carlin How with pupils from the Carlin How Wesleyan Sunday School on their way to a picnic at Cragg Hall. The chapel was built in 1912, with other buildings being used prior to that date. The two boys near the railings are looking a little miserable, maybe they don’t go to Sunday School but are wishing they did. Now believed to date from c.1909 shows the trip from Carlin How square. The front garden fences are of note, they are narrow zigzag rails. Neil Suckling tells us: ”I am fairly sure that the man with his right arm on the back of the waggon, flat cap, grey beard; is my great grandfather, Alf Suckling. He was a Primitive Methodist preacher; so it may be a mixed denomination outing?”
