Description

Student documentary that profiles Manchester's Oldham Street. Business owners and local commentators offer their views on the character and feel of the area, and on comparisons to London's Covent Garden. There are exterior and interior views of the shops, stalls, cafes, pubs and clubs that line the street, including Cafe Pop, Night and Day, Afflecks Palace, the Frog and Bucket and the King Inn.

[Catalogued as part of 'Revitalising the Regions' - a Screen Heritage UK project, 2011]
