Does anyone have a map superimposing the new MCFC/Etihad stadium on the old maps - my IT skills are not up to that standard.  many thanks. Anne
This site lets you overlay old maps with new...just zoom right in to the bit you want, then drag the map about with your mouse

Armed Forces / Help identify this Uniform please ?

Hi folks,
trying to identify this uniform, worn by my Great Grandfather. Judging by his age here, i'd guess its around 1880 maybe. His name was Ben Cotton, born 1863 and lived in Longsight, Manchester

thanks,
Les

No problem  :) Can't help with any names from 1911, sorry. I know the area quite well, grew up there in 60s/70s....I found my originals from that photoshoot (24MAR99), so here's the others too

I took this pic of The Crown the year before it was demolished, in 1999....
