The Royal Exchange, from St. Ann's Square, Manchester, in the 1890s (reduced in size)
Although originals of these early historical Manchester photographs published in about 1900 are very difficult to find, you can now get them on a cd-rom prepared from original 19th century items held in a private collection.
This cd-rom isn't mass produced but is compiled individually and personally for each purchaser so few copies exist. You can get one of them here.
A few sample images are set out below, followed by a list of all the views.
