Doing history the right way ......

 This is a bit of history, circa 1984 belonging to Sarah's mum. 


And here is the thing, we know what it is, roughly when it was used and where it was bought and by extension it offers up a bit of our retail history.  

Unlike some Chorlton sites which post pictures with no date, no reference or attributed source which makes them pretty useless as a piece of history.

We can't verify the image, use it to draw conclusions, or ask the owner anything about it.

So when these phantom images appear they are as useful as a discarded piece of orange peel.

Not that I am trying to trash the desire to share memories and old photographs but just a suggestion we need more.

Location; Chorlton


Picture; Safeway and Hanbury bags, from the collection of Sarah Champion's mum
