Leeds tramway crane/derrick in colour

A version of an old photograph hand *colourised (if you want to use it please credit me and link to this description) by me, of a Leeds City Tramways (LCT) tramway crane derrick at the Sovereign Street Permanent Way Yard.

The original BnW photo is here:-
flic.kr/p/2m92TdR

'Leeds Transport' by Jim Soper says this particular crane was built by Joseph Booth & Bros of Rodley in 1922, the cab with two rows of windows being built by LCT. To help with the scrapping of trams it was moved to Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard on 30/31 Jan 1956 where it worked until being broken up at an unknown date. The earlier 1910 crane had one line of cab windows whereas this 1922 one had two lines of windows. Although I have a photo of a crane at Lowfields and it has only one row of windows?

The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name Robert F. Mack (aka Bob Mack).

* My coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷
