Despite some great additions to the city in recent years, it's hard not to think back to how Manchester was decades ago.
Back in the 1980s, Top Gun first hit cinemas, Cyndi Lauper released Girls Just Want To Have Fun and velvet scrunchies and crimped hair were all the rage. In the world of TV, Blackadder and The A Team were watched by millions, the Nintendo Entertainment System was released and The Walkman changed the way we consumed music.
In Manchester itself, some of the shops we visited, the nightclubs we danced in and where we socialised are now lost to the past. But they still live on in our memories and photos.
