About
Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!
We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia .
We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details
The Manchester Corporation determined that there was a requirement to improve the provision of 'technical instruction' within the city, and with the aid of the estate of Sir Joseph Whitworth, plans were made for a number of educational institutions.
By far the largest building created was the Technical School itself, in Sackville Street. The building survives today, and is part of Manchester University.
