Looking Back: Take a trip along Deansgate in Bolton in the Sixties

Further down the road you can see John Collier’s occupying the corner position at the junction with Knowsley Street with fellow gents’ outfitters Alexandre opposite. Gregg’s and McDonald’s are now located on that corner

Happy Days

Wayne Walker, Wayne Walker; you get plenty of 20.
