The fifth and final of Ida Carroll's ancestral family albums. These cover the Southams and the Carrolls. The Carroll family were incredibly influential in Manchester's music education for well over a century, particularly with Walter Carroll and Ida Carroll.
They're also just really cool albums of Victorian era peeps in Manchester as well as family friends and the odd celebrity tucked in there.
