We're on a bit of a roll here with Roy Bradley scouring the family albums for photos of interest. Today we've added eight images of people associated with the Trinity Church, some related to local mills, a school photo and a shot of the Alms Houses.

Brilliant stuff!

Four more new pictures just added to the Tour, two from regular contributor Ray Noble and two from Roy Bradley. They include Pear Tree Farm, a group of lads at Roman Lakes, three young ladies on Roman Bridge and a nice shot of the Toll House on Dan Bank.

Thank you Ray & Roy, keep 'em coming!

Several new pictures have been added to the Tour this morning. Three from the field trips that were part of the Story of Brabyns and Iron Bridge education course, one of the maintenance gang from Hollins Mill, one of children at the Albert School, one of Brabyns Brow, one of Dan Bank Toll House, one of the Aqueduct and Viaduct and another of a Marple family called Dawson.

Seventeen new pictures have been added to the Tour today. These include several glass slides all associated with the Sunday School at the Trinity Methodist Church that used to be on Market Street. Others show Christmas celebrations in an early 1950s Hollins Mill Canteen plus a couple of shots of Heys Farm, Marple Bridge, and one of a couple of ladies inside the former Little Gem Cinema, also early 1950s.

Having got the Virtual Tour working again we've now added some more photos to the Iron Bridge Restoration section showing the strengthening work recently completed and some screen captures of the design that has been taking us so long to finalise. Look out for an update of the Project Diary with the latest news in the very near future.

Some of you have enquired about not being able to access the Virtual Tour for the last few days. This is due to the domain being prematurely suspended before it expires. Unfortunately because our host registered this on our behalf in their own name we don't appear to be able to do much about it directly ourselves, which is most frustrating.

We are currently waiting for the host to link a new domain name to our package and hope to have things back to normal soon. Fingers crossed, we hope we're not going to loose all that hard work!

Three new photos have been added to the Virtual Tour this morning. One of Marple Wharf Junction, a great picture of Strines Ladies Hockey Club 1st Team (1922/23) and L.S. Lowry visiting the 1973 SMA Exhibition.

Three recently acquired postcards have been added to the tour this morning. Two, we think, depicting participants queuing to join an early Marple Carnival parade and one of a Music Festival held in the Ridge Quarry, probably 1909. Click here for the latest additions.........

Fifteen new pictures have been added to the Virtual Tour this afternoon. Ten of them are of Green Bank, a house that used to be sited on Hibbert Lane. The other five have been received as a result of feedback from the new Willows Walks feature and include several school shots, Marple Swimming Club and a great picture of the Carnival procession passing G.R. Yeates in the mid 50s.

It was at the Middlewood Way end of the station. There are a couple of photographs that locate it for you on our feature 'Railways of Marple & District', one from 1962 and the other from 1914, see below:

To the left of centre in this 1962 pic.


And in line with the base of the brickworks chimney in this 1914 one.

Hi Mark, on the Time Tour, where is that picture of the signal box at Rose Hill supposed to be located? Was it on the existing line or on what used to be the line? Just wondering as the station and line have intrested me for a long time and I've never seen this picture before.

It's been a while since we've added many vintage pictures to the tour but this morning it has been updated with mixed bag of a dozen 'new' ones. Enjoy!
