Hi I’m a third year geography student at the University of Manchester. I have found your website very useful with my dissertation work. However, I was wondering if you had any infromation regarding the Millennium Quarter, specifically Exchange Square from the Manchester Evening News archives circa 1950-70?

To shed some light on what I am trying to ask for, my dissertation is about peoples perceptions and feelings towards the new regenerated public space, Exchange Square. I know that you have alot of photographs, information and letters from people who view your website.

Any photographs/articles of buildings and achitecture in the area after the bomb would be very useful, as I am finding it hard to get this information on what exactly used to be there before the walls and seating area. Also any letters you may have recieved from people with regards to this area would be of tremendous help.

Thankyou so much for your time in this matter. Any information at all would be of great help with my work I look forward to hearing from you.

Do you have any information on the old Atora suet factory which was based inside an old mill in the Openshaw district. I'm trying to track it down (if its still standing) as I am related to the original Hugon family who started the brand Atora. Perhaps you could post something on your website in case anybody associated with the company is still around (it would be at least 40-50 yrs ago though).

I would be very grateful for any information you have.

Thanks.

The Ritz Club (Whitworth Street), I would really love to know all about this building / club / ballroom its history in particular, as a regular attendee of the club, I am extremely interested in its history I find it amazing as a building and can imagine all the history and stories its walls hold. Any photographs, information would be gratefuly received..
