Archive stories of artefacts
Stories about artefacts that have been donated to the society's archives, usually due to their links to Marple and District.
Most of us possess something that’s rather old, has seen better days, but which is far too interesting to throw away. Our Archive is no exception; the Archives team has worked hard for several years classifying and filing all our various documents and maps and has now moved on to the various artefacts we have been given over the years. One of the most unusual is a musical photograph album which doubled up as a souvenir of the life of William Gladstone, the “Grand Old Man” of Victorian politics.
