Is Bri-Tannic still there? Always remember that ad at the Mayfair, plus the tip-top drinks. Went to see Star Wars there in 1977 and went there regularly. I wonder has anyone got any footage of St. Joseph's High School on Sandgate Rd. I went there (I know it's in Whitefield, not Prestwich) but It no longer exists. Happy memories. Great video, cheers :)

I don't think Bri-Tannic is still there. However the deli/grocers next door is. The lady there still sells those astonishingly good bagels! I spent my childhood 100 yards from that row of shops!
Nic.

@M77174 Alas I have to report the Polish Deli is now gone :( New Tesco express down the road may have done for it.
