Shopping in Greater Manchester has changed beyond recognition in the last 25 years. From the Trafford Centre to the Arndale Centre, from Afflecks Palace to the Triangle, customers are spoilt for choice.
But progress always brings casualties, and some of the most beloved shops in the region are no longer with us. In the past few years, we've lost some mainstays of the high street, including Woolworth's, Debenhams, Top Shop, BhS, and The Gap.
Going even further back, Manchester has lost department stores like Lewis's and Paulden's, as well as smaller favourites like the Spin Inn record shop, at the centre of the Northern Soul scene, and Guys n Dolls, the trendy clothing boutique where fashionable young Mancunians shopped in the 1970s.

David Benedict Jessica Lange was once asked if there couldn’t have been someone on the set of the painfully overwrought Southern gothic movie, Beth Henley’s “Crimes of the Heart,” who could have got everyone to tone things down, to which she giggled, “You mean, like the Taste Patrol?” Large stretches of Theresa Rebeck’s new, wildly dysfunctional family drama “Mad House,” now running on the West End, suggest that the Patrol has been similarly missing in action.You can see why actors of the caliber of David Harbour and Bill Pullman — plus equally gifted British talents Akiya Henry and Sinéad Matthews — wanted to appear in this world premiere. Rebeck has barely been produced in the U.K., but it’s immediately clear she knows how to whip up bitterly comic set-pieces for actors to sink their teeth into.
