About once a fortnight mum and I use to come into Eccles via the No.9 bus from Worsley. Use to walk down Clarendon Rd. and onto Church Street. In fact my parents lived in a flat above a butchers shop further down. At the bottom was Bradburn's where we use to go in for our Eccles cakes and occasionally a coffee. Late 50's and early 60's.
My memories of this part of Church Street are probably from about 1957 , or maybe the early 60s. Wasn't there a cake shop at the top on the right, then Friars, the large furniture emporium? I seem to remember a jeweller's and clock maker's shop on the right too. On the left, there was Allendale's green grocery , I think.
