John Owen was probably one of the regions greatest antiquarians. His works can be seen on microfilm at the City Library, Deansgate, Manchester. Four year ago I was given the privilege of being allowed to photograph the original illustrations. They have sat on my computer doing nothing, but recently Manchester Archives have been showing images on Flickr. For more information about the manuscripts and to see the illustrations see www.flickr.com/photos/manchesterarchiveplus/sets/72157626881383599/ To read about the sad end to John Owen's life see s.coop/10ir
