We're currently re-developing our industrial history gallery and are hoping to have an image blown up quite large as a backdrop to our new display on donkey stones. For those of you who are wondering what donkey stones are (I hadn't heard of them until I moved to Manchester!) they are a mixture of chalk, limestone and cement molded into small blocks, like bars of soap. Housewives would use them to clean their front door steps with - I think it was mostly a Lancashire and Yorkshire tradition. Thanks for your help.
