THIS is a scene you won't see nowadays, the end of Deansgate, with the roadsign pointing to Bury straight on.
Try it now, and you end up at the bottom of Church Bank with nowhere to go! When this picture was taken in 1957, though, general traffic was allowed in Deansgate. Notice the ABC Cinema on Churchgate
