About mixed images 1

This is one of four galleries holding photographs that do not belong to a single place or subject. They date from the earliest period of this site, before the photographs were organised into sections, and they have been kept together for that reason.

If you are looking for a particular subject, the themed sections are easier to browse: Manchester, aviation, the Manchester Ship Canal, Salford Quays, Caithness and Liverpool.
