I don't know that this will help, but I think those resources are also loaded into Jisc historical texts at https://historicaltexts.jisc.ac.uk -- for example https://historicaltexts.jisc.ac.uk/results?terms=A%20Gossip%20about%20Old%20Manchester.%20With%20illustrations I think that there is an elasticsearch index underpinning the collections in JHT -- You don't say what you would like to extract from the data, but someone at JHT might be able to help? Might be worth dropping a line to the JHT enquiries address, YMMV tho.
