More about this scene
We're not sure what our photographer was doing in Bentley: the children playing on the copper's helmet are all well and good, but the photograph was unlikely to make Frith's fortune. According to Pevsner, the architectural marvel at Bentley (which our man failed to photograph) was the pithead baths at the local colliery; these ranked alongside those at Frickley and Manvers Main.
