Roxy Shops


The row of shops on Queens's Road, Hurst Cross, Ashton. At one time these shops faced the "Cake-a-Pie" factory and the Roxy Cinema, both now gone.

  2. No, not my car! Mine's not silver. Besides - I was on foot when taking these photos! My car does appear in several photos on the main part of the website, as does my old car! Neither have appeared on the blog pics yet, but may do in the future...

  3. Tsk Tsk!
    Another illegal sign for the leaky plumber. You can't have signs above facia height.

    I'm off to the Tameside dot gov website to launch a formal complaint.

    Nice picture by the way

  5. Yes - that's why I called the post "Roxy Shops"!

    Roxy Angling is still second from the right, but not easy to spot that in this photo.
