This image was printed on a copper plate and three of the figures are missing. I would like to know if anyone recognises where it was taken or anyone pictured.

A Pictorial History of Stockton-on-Tees
The Heads Iron foundry at Teesdale was uncovered until after the war.
Could the location be the part of the Malleable Works, in Portrack, which has been used as a timber yard for many years. At least one overhead traveling crane remains – rusted & no longer in use!
If it is any help, there appears to be a Jones KL 44 mobile crane behind them, and an overhead crane behind that. Any help?
The 3 in the centre worked in the flour mill I reckon!
Or Head-Whiteson!!
This could be the Bridge Yard at HW’s at Thornaby.
Bob, this is not Head Wrightsons, Thornaby, the stockyard had gable ends of the bridgeyard to the left & the template shop on the right.
