An unused (and unidentified) postcard view of Sleights from above Lowdale. The hand written annotations appear to correspond to the following two images of the Sleights area. Noel Barrett tells us: ”This photograph is taken from Battle Banks which lies just above Lowdale Hall, Sleights; in the middle ground is what is now Sleights Sports Field which became a sports field in the 1930’s. In the foreground to the right is Lowdale Farm and barn.” Malcolm Jones asks: “I would like to know the history behind the name Battle Banks at Sleights.” Whilst Chris Warman says: “Was battle bank some sort of settlement. Can’t find out much about it!”
