This photograph purports to be in Alum Pot. It was probably taken just after the war. It shows a lady climbing a substantial iron ladder up a pitch. The only possible candidate is Dolly Tubs, and I have never heard of there ever being an iron ladder on Dolly Tubs.
I think that the photograph may have been mislabelled, and that it could be the iron ladder on the Lancaster Hole entrance pitch (those of us longer in the tooth will remember the start of it leaning against the bottom of the pitch, and various fragments of it dotted round and about further up).
There are other photographs in the set from Lancaster Hole - in particular the Colonnades, so it is not out of the question, although it is adjacent to three from Long Churn and Alum.
Does anyone have any views, or remember the shape of the rock she is climbing past?
