Remind me where Oxford Street was? I was born (1955) and bred in Old Trafford, lived there until I was 14 on Prestage Street where Duerrs Jams was.

So true, take a look at the 'Where did you work in Manchester?' thread - you may recognize some names

That was so kind of you,and I confess it brought some tears.
I have wished so many times that I could just see it again,where I lived.
This is the closest I have gotten so far,I remember it well
It is brilliant,thanks again
