5. Go clubbing at Sankey's -
How we live, socialise and go about our day to day lives in Manchester is ever changing - but it's hard not to get nostalgic when we think of the city's more recent past.
1. Have a meal at Shimla Pinks Once of the city centre's best-known curry houses, Shimla Pinks opened in 1999 at just off Bridge Street at Crown Square. A sophisticated space offering a modern twist on Indian culinary classics, it was part of a chain of restaurants set up by a Glasgow family. 3. Visit Kwik Save Kwik Save become a common site in Britain after the first store opened in Rhyl in 1959. The chain continued to expand, and by the mid-1990s, there were more than 800 Kwik Save stores across Britain including the high streets of Manchester and more widely Greater Manchester.
5. Go clubbing at Sankey's This venue first opened its doors as Sankeys Soap in June 1994 and from there it was reborn on numerous occasions, welcoming hundreds of clubbers and top DJs. At one point, it entered the big leagues of the clubbing world and franchises saw the Sankeys name transported out of Manchester into places like Ibiza and New York.
7. Have a dance at Pure Based inside the Printworks, Pure was one of Manchester's biggest nightclubs in the noughties. Previously Lucid, Pure was open from 2006 to 2011 and had a capacity of 2,500, attracting huge crowds at the weekends. 11. Dine at Harpers Harpers restaurant on Ridgefield, just off King Street, was opened back in April 1985 by Felix Moreno, who was famously persuaded to Manchester by his pal George Best to open up his Slack Alice venture. Felix and his business partner Eugenio Fernandez decided to open Harpers as a tapas style restaurant, and it went on to be THE place to be for footballers like George Best, Denis Law, Bryan Robson, and Kevin Keegan as well as TV and soap stars.
13. Go to the former GMEX centre Originally serving as a passenger rail station from 1880, the site was first named Central Station, but in the sixties, it closed before becoming Grade II listed and was purchased by Manchester council. After being disused for some time, it was re-opened in 1986 as Manchester’s dedicated exhibition venue, commonly known as the GMEX.
