Meet Catherine Day. Born in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1845, she was a resident of Rochdale when this image was taken 50 years later. She is described as being 5ft 1in in height, having blue eyes, grey hair, a fresh complexion, and being a midwife by profession. She makes only one appearance in the records of the Rochdale Borough Police when she was convicted of frequenting and sentenced to 1 month in prison in 1895. In full the offence is "frequenting the highway with intent to commit a felony" and it appears fairly frequently in the police records of the time. Once an offender had a number of convictions to their name, officers could arrest the individual if they believed they were acting in a suspicious manner. What prior transgressions had placed her in this position is unrecorded. The fact that she has no previous convictions noted in the Rochdale files would suggest that she had committed her previous offences in other towns. Perhaps she liked to travel to other local towns, where she might be less well known, to commit her crimes or perhaps she had only recently arrived in the area but the local force had been notified of her record. After this offence she does not feature again in our records. Perhaps she changed her ways or simply moved on.

This is a rare colour photograph (lantern slide, Reference D189/1/24) of Piccadilly Gardens taken during the spring/early summer of 1940. It is before June, as an existing black and white photograph of the same year shows what appears to be air raid shelters bordering the opposite side of the gardens (see s.coop/5l1y for further information) Most of the buildings still exist although the Gardens have changed beyond all recognition. Within six months of the photograph being taken, the area was subject to heavy aerial bombardment by the Luftwaffe. How much damage the buildings sustained is not known but the buildings to the left (including Clayton house) might have been restored, The HIckson Lloyd King/Hollins Mill Co Ltd is now the site of the Portland Thistle Hotel. Poignantly, this photograph was taken near the current location of the memorial (the metallic tree) to those killed during the air raids of Christmas 1940. See www.flickr.com/photos/manchesterarchiveplus/6198109076 for a 2011 photograph of the tree.
