Yesterday we told you how we have been loaned a cache of photographs showing Eccles Precinct from 30 years ago which Centre Manager discovered in a drawer in his office. We have studied the photos looking for clues to determine the year they were taken. one photo shows parked cars in the delivery bay area. one has the letter P prefix which dates it to 1996, so they are almost 30 years old! This batch shows shops which you possibly may have used, have never heard of, or had forgotten all about, who knew we had several Travel Agents, shoe shops, furniture shops, gents outfitters, Building Societies even benches for the weary shopper to sit on and watch the world go by. Tomorrow we shall post the second batch of photographs, once again all taken in the Precinct or on the delivery bay area. We would love it if you recognise any of the shoppers in the photos, they could be family members, friends, etc so if you do please, please let us know and we shall see if we can get you a copy.
