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!

Gallery: The Palace Theatre of Varieties, Manchester, c. 1900s
Image Details
The Palace Theatre of Varieties viewed from the junction of Oxford Street and Whitworth Street. The Palace Theatre was built as the Manchester Palace of Varieties by Alfred Darbyshire & F B Smith in 1891. When it opened in the early years of the twentieth century there was a problem getting a liquor licence for the bars for a number of years and it was a dry variety theatre. This affected the business quite a bit until a licence was eventually obtained. The theatre was refaced in 1953.
