Many happy memories. Although austere, this entrance led under the main building and was rarely used. Public and staff access was on the front, opposite the river. Lots more pictures of the original impressive old building can be found on Tameside Archives website. So tragic to see its demolition, but nice to see it was respected enough to retain this monument.Keyholekatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-33221957709645889412009-04-12T16:23:00.000+01:002009-04-12T16:23:00.000+01:00I am so glad that some part of the original histor...I am so glad that some part of the original historic building has been kept.
