Open all Hours
I was watching the Roy Clarke comedy "Open all Hours" at the weekend and wondered whether the shop they used for outside shots is still there? Bearing in mind Open all Hours" ended nearly 30 years ago?

In my youth, (very young youth!) I remember a butcher's shop in Rusholme in Manchester run by a lady butcher who had a son Charley, who was an errand boy delivering meat orders. She was just like Arkwright in attitude and treated Charley just the same as Granville! I have never been able to watch "Open all hours" without being reminded of them. Plus my grandmother, with whom I lived, looking in their window and snorting "Best rump steak at 7/6d a pound - robbery!" just like Mrs Featherstone who used to terrorise Granville...
True, Garmard. In fact my first pair of football boots were fitted in the shop by the proprietor, who was none other than Nobby Clarke, the Manchester City winger at the time Couldn't see any of today's players being that involved in the community or even needing another job to make a living!. My grandfather used to drink down the pub with Bobby Johnstone, another Man City player and Scottish international....
