This image relates to one of Th 'Owd Syker articles.

The Greenwood family of Duke Street, Harle Syke, taken around 1902. Mr Roger Greenwood was a six-loom weaver at different mills up Harle Syke.
The granddaughter of the family, Mrs Edna Melileu (nee Nuttall), who loaned me the photograph, said that at the time it was taken all twelve children were living at home. The only survivor is Harold, now aged 80. With the exception of Ethel, all the children lived to good ages. James Henry was over 90 when he died.
They are left to right: (back row) Margaret Ann, Fred, Jane, James Henry, Alice. Front row: Mary, Harold, Mr Greenwood, Mena, Ethel, Hilda, Mrs Greenwood, Tom and Edith.
