The Music Centre (Ashton New Road, Bradford)

The Music Centre on Ashton New Road, Bradford Manchester, selling records, radiograms and tellies, was officially opened in about 1958 by Benny Hill and the Actress Kay Kendal. Crowds blocked the roadway as queues formed to enter the tiny shop where the two stars sat at a table handing out signed photographs: which I received and have since lost.
