    There was one in Whitechapel too wasn't there Joe, further on from the Spanish house? I seem to remember getting my borstal breakout black plimsols from there with the shiny rubber toecaps in the early 70s.

    I believe the Byrom st one changed from one side of the street to the other. Got a pic of the one by St. Stephens church.

    Great image Colin. Thanks again.

    "Grot-spots". At least that original gin palace, The Vines, would lessen the pain of looking at such an eyesore? Well, at least, after a couple of glasses, no doubt?

    Some of you 'old' ones seem to be getting 'The Army and Navy Stores' mixed up with 'The Famous Army Stores'.

    Here's the corner in 1952 showing the temporary shops and walk through. The original corner was bombed during the war along with nearby Lewis's and BLacklers.
