Trocadero in Rusholme specialised in showing Chesty Morgan films.

As a 12 year old I was mesmerised by her name but never had the balls to try and sneek in and see one of her films.

Also
The cinephone on Market Street, Manchester opposite Primark.....required attire to enter a dirty mac...lol!

The Aaben cinema Hulme, showing off beat films such as "Eraserhead"

It lost its spark as we left the 70s
 
What was the pub on Market St called, on left hand side heading towards M&S, you had to go down stairs?
There was also another pub roughly where WH Smith and Pizza Hut are now opposite the side of M&S, anyone remember what that was called? I'm obviously an old bastard and my memory's going!

Any more memories?

Fred Fernley’s Motor Mart on Ashton Old Rd.
 
Green Salford buses, red Manchester buses pre S.E.L.N.E.C. days, both had open platforms with a gripper pole, as kids we would jump on the No1 bus up Langworthy Rd Salford and hang on for dear life until the conductor threw us off, also going to Maine Rd on the 'match special' buses from Aytoun St

The Piccadilly Club near Aytoun St, a real City haunt after the pubs shut on a Saturday night, also the Bier Keller at Belle Vue, a couple of years later they opened a nightclub just inside Belle Vue gates, for the life of me i can't remember what it was called, full of Blues from Gorton though
