Additional information: Charles Holden, when he came to Manchester, worked at a photographer's in chambers above a shop in St. Ann's Square. He then, after the breakup of his marriage in c.1899, moved to his own purpose-built studio at 27, Wilmslow Road. He worked, reputedly, on, amongst other things, a photographic record of the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal (the prints of which were destroyed after his death - the Ship Canal Company knows nothing of them), and he photographed the work of a Firm of advertising scenery-makers on Wilmslow Road, Rusholme. He belonged to a gentlemen's social club in Manchester which, because of a large German membership, disbanded during World War I, and he held musical evenings for his friends at the studio. The photographs here constitute the three remaining albums of Holden's held by Miss Moorcroft, (the first album is deposit no. 1119). All are studio portraits except where stated.
