Glass plate negative, Exeter Cathedral exterior rooftop

This image records the exterior of Exeter Cathedral in the early 20th century and shows the flying buttresses at roof level - a view which is not often photographed.

The image is captured on a glass plate negative and has been digitally inverted to a positive image, as it would have appeared if printed as a photograph. It is part of a set of photographic images recording historic buildings in Exeter, but there is no record of the photographer’s name or the date the images were taken.
