Okay, don't kill yourselves over this, guys ;D

I thought my mother might have been visiting Mirfield, where my great greats came from. But I just now realised that mom might not have known that. Her dad grew up in Halifax, but we didn't have access to all this genealogy stuff, and I only started a couple of years ago. So she might not have known anything farther back than Halifax, and I doubt this is Halifax.

Also, since these photos are taken from slides, I might have flipped anything that doesn't have lettering in it, so that would complicate recognition.

I can always post the church pic separately under another thread title, if nothing comes of it...but I'm not sure it's really important. I do appreciate your brainpower, though, and many thanks for it.

Cheers,

Yes, osprey, I think it's Bolton too. In fact I just found a slide of the Grassington House Hotel, so it's near there.
