Basement Traxx is a small but sound record shop worth a visit.

You have got to see the bloody brilliant art work of Ian Curis on Mill Street, it's incredible.

There’s a stall on the indoor market sells a good selection of new and used vinyl but I’m not sure he’s there every day. Basement Trax as mentioned on Jordangate and there’s also a second hand shop just out of town by the traffic light’s between Chestergate/Road and Prestbury Road. And a small more indie oriented sho at the bottom of Chestergate the name of which I can’t remember.

Red Willow at Park Green is a local brewer. There’s a Wetherspoons opposite and another big new place on the corner called the Fountain, I’ve never been in it.

Listen to Mutley's advice and get bladdered in all the pubs mentioned.

The picture dome is great for food and ale. (Pretty much a smaller version of Altrincham Market).

Vinyl planet is a great record shop, it was quite reasonable as well when I last went in a few years a go.

My mates daughter lives in the house where Ian Curtis sadly took his own life. Regularly gets tourists turning up.

I find it weird tourists visit the house, it is somebody's home and the tragedy happened many years a go.

Curtis was in an unhappy marriage, struggling with his epilepsy and the side effects of the prescribed drugs sent him in to a dark place. Don't understand why people find it fascinating to visit the site where the suicide took place..

Each to their own, that's my view.

She has even had cameras poked through the open kitchen window.
