The vape shops are probably the same people with dodgy hidden rooms

I bet there is still lots of 'Turkish' barbers around though with no customers?

[@honestplaces]

I'm bald so my eye for barbers isn't what it used to be.....maybe 🤣

[@lorenzbroll101]

@@honestplaces No worry. I don't think those barbers are into cutting hair anyway. Nor all those vape shops into selling vapes.

Not Turkish. All Albanian, fellers who cut your hair are slaves.

Manchester council turned a blind eye to this for 15 years raiding the odd one now and again, guess what they want to redevelop this area that's why they have shut up shop.

[@honestplaces]

Probs because all the people going therr used to put money into the center also when they came for a day out!

[@dawnsalois]

I love buying knockoffs. They dont have the name brand, but if you are careful you can get a decent product for a decent price without a designer name on it. I got a Coach Legacy style bag for less than 20 dollars about 7 years ago. It was manufactured exactly the same way with the same kind of leather as the branded product. It was the same right down to the stitching and hardware. Made in China same as the Coach Legacy bag costing close to 200.

[@honestplaces]

Yup...most of the actual branded stuff is all china anyway. You honestly couldn't tell the difference

[@honestplaces]

What are Candy stores?

[@dawnsalois]

@@honestplaces Fake American candy being marketed in UK. And they could be money laundering fronts kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6DKZp2sl7Rlqdk You guys have better commercial candy than we do here in USA. Hershey's has ruined it all. UK KitKat cannot be sold by any one here is USA. Because Hershey only wants us to eat the bastardized, chemical tasting version they manufacture here in the states. Cadbury has turned into a schlock product too. Used to love Cadbury products, but no more.

[@stoneageman18]

People have been opening open "American candy" shops to launder black market money.@@honestplaces

[@Mickc934]

​@@honestplacesThey're shops in London's Leicester sq and places that rent expensive premises and sell overpriced candy that nobody ever buys and manage to stay in business ( money laundering) 😂

[@DroneShots_UK]

Not just London, they're popping up everywhere. Absolutely stinks of money laundering.

[@petersmithson4644]

Years ago you had to dig out a local tobacconist,now there are more vape shops that there have ever been specialist tobacco shops.Along with phone repair,computer shops and don’t get me started on barber and nail salons.And of course candy stores.

[@Mickc934]

I'm surprised Cheetham Hill has closed down for good, it used to get raided every 6 months then as soon as the police left the shutters of the shops would re-open. Gangs of Asians would peddle smack in broad daylight as young kids walked past shopping with their parents, it felt like a lawless area. It was thriving in its day 1000's of people from around the country would converge looking for a cheap deal now it will just be a ghost town or demolished and turned into housing.

[@honestplaces]

Must have ran out of loop-holes. I thought it would last forever too!

[@deano3467]

What was once slightly out of the city centre is now prime time city centre. As its grown and grown the land is worth more than it ever has and that is why Cheetham Hill has finally been permanently closed permanently, the council could have done this 20 years ago but it served them no purpose

[@richardstott6023]

It would be a great set for GTA6.

[@honestplaces]

Think Miami is still slightly better 🤣

[@oddities-whatnot]

I bought some Kickers shoes from round there decades ago. They looked real enough, dirt cheap, lasted me ages. Right shit hole of an area, it was filled with trade only shops but on a Sunday some were “open to the public” conveniently.

[@English.not.British]

I used to travel up to Manchester occasionally to go here. It was always a bit mad when you'd be in one of the shops and the shutters would suddenly come down and you wouldn't be able to leave until what I'm guessing was the Police patrol had passed. I'll admit I'm more than a bit surprised it's actually stayed closed.

[@ManchesterWalks]

Good video , enjoyed it

[@honestplaces]

Cheers!

[@jamesarmitage8399]

Many happy times "shopping" there!!

It was better when the shops was open it was just a more fun and lively place that use to bring in people to manchester from all over

Totally depressing, I used to go to Bury new road with a mate back in the late 80s to buy tools and clothes for his market stalls, nearly all old school Jewish shop owners then!

[@CupidStunt0001]
