Lovely photos of the old hall.  Does anyone have a map showing the location of all these buildings and grounds overlaying what exists now?

Hi Ray,

No, I've just checked back and found the email with the pictures but there are no names mentioned in it. If you can send them then I'd be delighted to update the captions.

While I'm writing, thanks for the many pictures you've sent us over the last few years Ray, you've provided some great additions to the Tour.  

Cheers,

Mark

Twelve more images have have been added to the tour today: Five are from the collection of glass slides mentioned in the previous post, a couple of Marple Cricket Club and the rest a variety of mainly people shots from Ray Noble, who is doing a stirling job digging out these old images.

Ten photographs taken during the installation of the Bailey bridge across the Iron Bridge in Brabyns Park in July 1992 have been added to the Virtual Tour. Also (added on 1st September) are two photographs of the original oil painting that was the basis for the well known etching of Mellor Mill (there are copies in the Library and the Ring o' Bells).

Twelve hand-coloured local photographs from a Souvenir of Marple Booklet that we had never seen before have just been added to the Virtual Tour. Use this link to view the lastest additions. Thank you to Elaine Knight for thinking of us when she found this whilst sorting through a neighbour's items.

You may have thought things have gone a little quiet recently as far as updates to the main site are concerned. You'd be right, but we do have a good excuse.

We're pleased to annouce that we have been working on a major upgrade to the Virtual Tour of Marple for the last few months and it's now READY!

We're very pleased with it and hope you like it too. The changes will mean it will be much easier to grow and expand the collection of images and we hope you'll get in touch if you have anything suitable for adding to this completely free historic resource that everyone can share.

Use this link to visit the new Tour and we'd be delighted for you to leave your comments or ask any questions here.
