Couldn’t see a suitable thread to put this in(Mods, do please merge if there is one) but saw this striking picture on Twitter.

Not Athens but 1908 Manchester and the demolition of the Royal Infirmary.
 
My late uncle, killed at Arnhem, was an avid photographer.
In the sixties we found his mum, my gran, had kept boxes and boxes of glass slides of Manchester all taken in the 1920s.
We wondered if Central library would be interested and they nearly took our arms off.
They are all on permanent loan in the library.
