Kofflers used to be on the opposite side of the road, four or five blocks nearer Manchester, in a much smaller shop.
Don't remember Tom's though.
Cowan's was run by two brothers who always wore khaki long work coats. Great bike shop.

Yes, you are correct, they were in the old billiard hall on the same side as Cowans.
But before that, they were on the opposite side of the road...(RH side as you were looking towards Ardwick).. further down just before the railway bridge at Belle Vue station. I'm going back to the mid sixties though..........

Slight tangent, but I knew a guy who used to run a pub in Salisbury in the late 90's who was a barber at Harrods in the late 60's early 70's and used to cut Sid James' hair once a fortnight. Lovely bloke he was.de niro said:In wagged school an awful lot, spent most of my time in town. Lewis was a haven. On the second floor was a hairdressers and part of it a guy use to rent as a pitch to sell self cutting combs, you just combyou hair with comb with blades and it trimmed your hair. Thing is he needed models so I'd go once a week, he paid sixpence a time. How my mam didn't clock that my hair never needed cutting I'll never know.
