Pinhole photographs can be made with any container that can be light-proof. By poking a small hole in one side of a box and putting light-sensitive paper inside you can capture an image without a lens or other photographic equipment. All sorts of containers have been used in pinhole photography.
This pinhole camera was used to take a picture of Bradford from the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (now known as the National Science and Media Museum) in the 1980s. In the image taken you can see the Bradford Alhambra and old Odeon buildings.
