Proper Shop


Now this, to me, is what a shop on Stamford Street should look like! The carefully painted woodwork on the shop front along with the well-arranged window displays in what are very traditional shop windows gives a tantalising glimpse of how all of Stamford Street might have looked had it remained prosperous.

    Shame about tha A board. Roy Oldham puts them down to the "Popularity" of shopping in Ashton. I think they are a eysore as well as not being legal.

  6. I agree. We have an ironmongers here with similar frontage which I have been trying to get a clear vantage point to view from for ages. It also has very old fashioned, courteous staff too. Now that is a novelty these days.
