Shops long gone from Manchester you used to love.

Was it Chelsea girl with the chrome frontage in Piccadilly? Nor for shopping but for perving the girls going in and out.

My Auntie Nellie was Manchester’s oldest flower girl right into her eighties (1990s) used to have her stall near Victoria then on market street. Always the highlight for a trip to town. Would be great if anyone else remembers her.
