Taken on Manchester New Road back in 1973, they show just some of the shops, fashions and people from the area during that time.
Captured on the same crossing, we see families, cyclists, dog walkers and shoppers out and about – and the clothes, hairstyles and accessories that were popular back in the 70s.
