Re: Boardmans

Yes I agree, so sad that Boardmans is closing. When Calderbanks closed and it was replaced with a "Pound" shop Ashton took a backward step.
Who remembers Billingtons at the top of Gerrard Street? (showing my age I know) As a child I loved the toys displayed in the window. And the fantasic fruit display wrapped around the corner of Princess Road??
