Did Mappin and Webb give their workforce time off to go out and see the plane that was photographing the factory ?

Interesting how much interest there is in the aeroplane flying overhead. Is it possible they knew it was due to carry out some local aerial photography of their workplace? Even the some of the people in the street have stopped to watch.



The Coronation Tram photo dates from 1937 and was photographed on the junction adjacent to the Caudle advert on the end of the houses in the centre of the photograph.
