This picture of Oldham High Street will no doubt bring back memories for those who shopped there. Firstly there is the news stand at the bottom of Hilton Arcade, a busy and useful facility right next to the express (10/13/14) bus stop. Then there was Market Avenue, another arcade behind the bus. This was more popular with the youth of the time as it contained two record shops! Although the Hilton Arcade has been refurbished, it hasn't recaptured the vitality of these once-popular thoroughfares.
