Grammaretto, I only go back as far as Binns 
. I thought a whisky company was moving into the old House of Fraser place. Sadly, I think Jenners will eventually be a hotel too.
Went in to 2 C&As this week
Alf's Candies
John S Drivers.
Wade's Saddlery.
lemongrove I remember Brown, Muff's. My little son, then 7, and I used to go there for the very occasional treat of Morning Coffee.
He would have the money and order in a very grown-up way, for us.
We could have whatever cake we liked from the 3-tiered stand and the coffee came in silver service.
He had Horlicks and went to fetch me one of the selection of newspaper available for patrons to read as they relaxed.
They had a wonderful display in their 'magic window' during the Christmas season. Lovely memories.
Also gone now is Busby's on Manningham Lane. I still have a small plate with their 'Busby' logo on it.
The store was owned by the Busby family, whose son, Peter I once dated. Nicey chap.
One year, when there was a sudden, massive snowstorm during the day, Busby's opened their doors to hundreds of stranded workers and invited them to sleep in the store overnight.
I worked just down the road in Manor Row and sat up with dozens of others, in Busby's cafe.
Very exciting for a teenager from a strict home, to be able to stop out, innocently, all night 
What a long, long queue there was for the ladies room in the morning.
