All Themes have maps, photographs images and details taken from historical sources and extracts from sound recordings. The Themes draw on archive material that covers a vast wealth of information. You can explore this archive directly from the extracts that illustrate our themes.

In the Archive itself there are yet more maps, images and transcriptions from documents; detailed surveys of the Edge covering geology, archaeology, architecture and natural history; the full transcripts of the Alderley Oral Archive, and much more.
