No, it is there sandwiched between rows of terraced houses running left (near the top) to right (near the middle). You can see the bridge over the railway which Ashton New Road runs over.
Yes, I think the large factory lying between Mill St and Forge Lane is Johnson's Wire Works, and just above that is the Bradford Colliery pithead. On the extreme left of the pic about halfway up you can see part of a cooling tower of Stuart St power station, roughly where the velodrome is now.
Damn fine effort that.I took a stab at lining up the current view using Google Earth. I got the foreground of the image right with roads, park and gasometers.
Nice work although one slight problem is that I think the two photos were taken at different altitudes as the diameter of the gasholder frame looks significantly wider in the old photo. So the newer photo would need enlarging by the scaled difference in size to get a totally accurate overlay. But that's just me nitpicking!

Metrolink seem unable or unwilling to provide double units for one hour before and after games, they have had a few years now to give the service needed for 45k crowds rising now to 53kr if in the future City get crowds of 60k the there is case to be made for a railway station on the west side of the stadium.
And with the pop concerts in the summer, a rail station would be a big help moving the crowds to and from the stadium . A 50 to 60'000 stadium needs more then just a Metrolink station.
