I'd very much like to know when the blackened buildings were photo'd. Something more precise than "before the 60s" Also (2015)

- nizmow 8y agoJudging by the cars I'd say mid- to late-60s. I can see both Mk 1 and Mk 2 Ford Cortinas in several shots.
- DanBC 8y agoIn image 4 there's a car with the licence plate "LYE897D". D plates are from 1966, so after that. In the first image there's a building being constructed next to Manchester Art Gallery, so I'll try to find out when that went up. EDIT eh, it's 75 Mosley Street but I have no idea when it was built.
- handelaar 8y agoThe photos do appear to be mid-late 60s from the cars you can see. But I'll observe that the Uni of Manchester buildings photos could have been from 1987 or 1990 -- being when I saw them myself, still near-black on the Oxford Road side.
- sjclemmy 8y agoThe picture of Spring Gardens looks 1970s judging from the fashion. At least 1969 from the number plate - ‘H’ reg. I was initially going to say 1970 - but apparently 1967 saw both E and F registered cars. I never knew that.
