What a truly wonderful set of photo's. Any idea who those "visitors" to the bridge were? Any idea when it was taken.... Not sure a picture taken today would have the same impact in 100 years time (but I could be wrong).

Sadly there is no information with the images as to who they were or when it was, although I would guess by the clothing that the two large groups on the bridge are pre-WWI, around 1905-1910-ish. I always include any info that is available in the captions but all too often there is none. I'm not sure about pictures in 100 years having the same impact - perhaps they will - but it's important to make a note on the back of dates and names because they are so much more interesting when you know something about them. It also needs a little thought - quite often people will write "me with aunty Hilda" but in 100 years nobody will have any idea who "me" is :(

The additions feature many interior shots previously unseen and including the often described John Bradshawe oak bed with carved mottos and the magnificent staircase long before the roof fell in.

Some more images from Marple Local History Society's "Mellor" folders uploaded this morning. These include some great photos of Mellor Lodge. What a great shame Samuel Oldknow's home didn't survive.

It's definitely Mellor rec - you can tell from the houses in Gibb Lane, on the far right of the picture. 

Thanks Dave and Amazon - I've moved and re-captioned the image.

No that's not Marple Bridge. Used to be one back of Lower Fold Windsor Castle but it's not this one.

Including Craven (Mr?) who used to own it in the 1900s. Anyone know more about him?

Also there is a postcard labelled on the card itself as Marple Bridge Recreation Ground. It looks like the one in Mellor to me. Was / is there a Marple Bridge Rec?
