A lovely memory and a lucky daughter!
I've got good memories of the place too.
Do you remember the tunnel which went under Deansgate to the food hall which is now Waterstones?
I was sorry to see that go.

Perhaps I am going back even further, even to the late 50s, early 60s.?

Yes Hollins I remember the tunnel on one of our frequent visits there.

My Mother and I used to take the train to Manchester, taxi to Kendal Milnes as it was then and spend most of the day in the various departments. We had lunch on the top floor, in the restaurant whilst mannequins walked round between the diners modelling clothes from the various departments. Our meal was usually a roast and then sherry trifle served in scratchy metal dishes which set your teeth on edge !

Those were the days !

Thanks, Hugo.  Glad to get one I know!

Its the old toll house at the entrance to the Promenade leading to St George's Pier, Menai Bridge.
Always looks as if it was a cosy little place with a nice fire going.

It's opposite Dylan's Restaurant in Menai Bridge where we had a short walk today.
