Do you mind if use the image to ask about it on my local FB group? Or have you been researching too?

Eccles shopping precinct, in early 1980s.

I used to love Eccles in the late 70s/early 80s. There were some great pubs there as well. It's been gutted since, the market is gone, the precinct is desolate and there's not much more than a big fucking Morrisons and car park there now with other shopping moved to that retail park off Gilda Brook Rd. The heart was ripped out of it. It's shite.

I don't think I've ever seen this place open... but should you want a carriage clock, working or otherwise!

The old St Johns Ambulance station, earmarked for something!

QPR stickers aren't the most likely to be seen in this town! And a few have appeared in the last month or so. I'm now tempted to get some West Ham ones to cover them over just to see if it starts a bizarre London club stickering war!

Mary Wollstonecraft (women's rights campaigner, writer, philosopher) lived in a house near the Minster.

A nice looking ex-Hackney Carriage!
