In a lot of ways the arcade was nicer before it was done up, who remembers the wine merchant/outdoor license with the shop front made of beaten copper?

A beautiful arcade and loads of shops! I had aspirations of opening a fine art store in the arcade but suitable premises never became available! Mama Mia!

Chap pushing the pram looks Like Ronnie McColl. Ronnie used to live in Francis Street, Ince. If its not him - its his doppelganger!
