Shop fronts I have known …………… Wilmslow Road

An occasional series recording the changing face of the art of dressing a shop for Christmas.

Now, the idea is obvious, but there is a bit of historical thought behind the project, given that the Christmas display is a transient one, soon to be replaced by the January sales and pretty quickly by Easter bunnies and chocolate eggs.

So, with that in mind, over the next few days, I shall indulge my love of Christmas and feature festive shop windows.

This one is A Curious Collection on Wilmslow Road, in Withington, which we visited last week.
