Hello Colin,
You may be interested in the Manchester Library's "Local Image
Collection" available on-line at http://images.manchester.gov.uk
The blurb on the web site is:
"Manchester Local Image Collection contains over 77,000 images of
Manchester and its suburbs. The original images are mainly photographs
with some prints, drawings, watercolours and postcards, dating from the
eighteenth century to the present day. The pictures of people, streets
and buildings illustrate all aspects of the social, industrial,
religious and transport history of the city. Between 1950 and 1972 the
Manchester Amateur Photographic Society carried out an almost complete
street by street survey of the city, showing the suburban streets before
the major clearances and redevelopment during that period. The entire
survey, as well as the Photographic Survey of 1892 - 1900, appears here."
You may need to discuss the copyright with them as it lists private
study and personal use only - [log in to unmask]
I am happy to discuss the details of this project further if anyone is
interested.
Kind regards,
Ben Sullivan
