A trip down memory lane around Manchester....

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

Was that the one on the corner of Deansgate and Bootle Street?

No, that was The model Shop (Manchester)...closed down fairly recently.

Beatties used to originally be on Corporation Street, before moving to Spring Gardens, near Primark, until it shut down.

when I was younger, seeing the prows of ships right by the road, Salford (Manchester Docks);
1/9 container berth.
enough for now
Excellent post OP, you bugger. I'm missing the place more than ever now!

what was the name of that night club boat on the quays?

Lived off Trafford Rd Salford for a while as a kid and used to go to the docks to look at the ships, Manchester Liners always seem to have had their ships nearest the dock gates and trafford rd, all sounded the hooters on their funnels on New Years Eve, it was deafening

Trafford swing bridge would open quite a lot in them days and you could watch the ships from the canal banks hence the song 'the big ships sail on the alley alley oh'
