Manchester is famous for being a shopping city but our high streets once looked very different with many much-loved shops now lost forever.
The MEN has looked back at some of the stores which once proudly stood in our city, with many Manchester shoppers missing them dearly. If only we could step through their iconic doors one more time and browse the shelves and aisles piled high with their offerings.
From iconic department stores that were around for decades, to smaller stores that offered specific items, this list includes six of the shops that people miss the most. Some sold one type of product, such as clothing or records but others were treasure troves where shoppers could lose hours perusing what was on offer.
