Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850.
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.

The switchboard of the military fortress museum Heldsberg. The fortress was built during the Second World War and is publicly accessible today.
Mine telephone switchboard. Sobering that "Fire", "Amb[ulance]" and "Hosp[ital]" are marked - I presume those calls got made more often than they should.

Winter vacation to The Poconos, Feb 2009.
This is the switchboard station of the Bodie telephone operator as it was left. Another interesting glimpse into a past era and history. (Bodie, CA - Bodie Ghost Town)
Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in located in Walnut Grove, Minnesota. This old-time telephone switchboard caught my eye.
The Navy figured if Fort Casey got bombarded, the communications facilities needed to be heavily insulated from direct hits. Sure would love to see if there are any artifacts inside.
The old operator's switchboard which was donated to the museum when it was retired. If I remember correctly, this was sometime that astonished me for how late it was, something like the 1970s.

The switchboard was removed and the dimmers next to it re-purposed in 2004. This is how I learned patching, and the word "soft patch" which refers to computerized patching has a different meaning for me, as its much easier to do and you can sit on your "soft" office chair while doing it.
