I don’t remember the Cough & Candy Shop and never had occasion to go into the Burnley Building Society.
A decade before I took the picture Barclays Bank occupied the corner plot and sometime in the 1980s or perhaps later Max Spielman moved into replace “Cut Price Sweets and Tobacco” with glossy prints of holidays in the sun.

Barclays also occupied the sweet shop premises for a period, whilst the premises that house the current branch (formerly a Martins Bank branch) were being refurbished. I can’t remember what was there prior to Barclays temporary occupation - despite the fact that I worked at the branch during the ‘upheaval’ & have lived in Chorlton since 1958!
