Edwardian Crowd Control
Officers of Manchester City Police form a line in front of the crowds waiting outside Manchester Cathedral to catch a glimpse of King Edward VII on a visit to Manchester in 1909.
In the background can be seen Exchange Station. The station was built by the London and North Western Railway and opened in 1884. It saw its last train in 1969 and the site is now a car park.
Also visible is a statue of Oliver Cromwell. This was later moved from this location and can now be found in Wythenshawe Park.
