THIS photograph of Bradshawgate in Leigh, looking from Civic Square, was taken in 1981.
It was snapped by Paul Hook, from Leigh.
He said: “I took this photograph on a quiet Sunday morning taking in a bit of window shopping and enjoying the peace and quietness.
“There aren’t any major changes to today’s scene apart from shop names and different goods on sale.”
