By the failing light of an English winter afternoon, Polish soldier Katarzyna Bocknoch instructs a friend in the workings of a switchboard. It has been three years since they saw home, but these brave women work as hard as their men for the freedom of Poland! (Reproduced for me for my "Vintage " series. Thanks to Diana and Hillary!)

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.

No. 9 Coal Mine & Museum in Lansford, PA - this is inside the museum building, which was small but had some interesting artefacts on display.

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.
