Holbeck aerial photos 1960s

Three aerial photos of the Marshall Street/Canal Basin/Water Lane area which were taken in the 1960s for Charles Crabtree printing press makers to be used for publicity purposes. They are positive film images which I have scanned at very high resolution so the fine detail of them can be seen. These were passed to Kevin Grady by Philip Edgar in 2009, an employee of the firm. He had rescued them from being thrown away when the Water Lane works was being closed down.
