[Leica] Photoshop vs Journalism

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed in them - even though London society 
thought he was mad..

I've often walked around Cottingley Woods (wonderful when the Bluebells 
are blooming) and along the wooded canal towpath at Bingley as a lad 
(about 45 minutes walk from where we lived in the UK), but I never saw 
any. Perhaps they are only visible to true believers :-)

To be honest, I was more interested in things like this unique feat of 
engineering from the 1770s:

another two flights of impressive locks leading up to these, one with 
three and one with two rises)

Here's a book review from a serious and very conservative regional 
newspaper about the supernatural nature of the area:
