A brick wall, a set of plans and a photograph reveal the work of a children’s charity

Now I am going to leave the story of what this unpromising piece of brickwork is all about to my friend  the archivist at the Together Trust.

She  has matched a hidden brick wall with some old plans, a photograph and come up with another story on the work of  the Victorian charity, The Manchester and Salford Boys' and Girls' Refuges.

It began in 1870 here in Manchester and  strived to improve the lives of children left destitute, maltreated and exploited.
It is still engaged in this task today
