Corny title perhaps but good news because after a break of many months the online catalogue of over 80,000 images of Manchester is back and up and running.

It has been a barren and empty time for those of us who have wanted to search out a Manchester street or a building but today I got an email from Jane Parr, at Archives and Local History in Central Library telling me that the glitch has been sorted.

Other than to say I wish people who trawl and post images from the database would credit Manchester Libraries, Information and Archives, Manchester City Council and carefully add the date, location and photographer.
Apart from it being good manners to acknowledge the source of the picture it provides a context.
Otherwise all we have is "an old picture of Manchester, it looks different from now".
So for those unfamiliar with the service just follow the link and get looking.

Great news Andrew, I thought it was gone for good!
