In
the heart of Manchester's
most prestigious shopping area, St Anns Arcade is a small select
grouping of high class, and quite expensive shops, tucked away
in St Ann's Square.
The
arcade really came into its own as a result of pedestrianisation
of St Ann's Square in 1984, and the latest £1 million redevelopment
of the square since 1995 has won a National Street Design Award.
Although
it is quite small, the arcade is well worth a visit in passing.
It includes Fraser Hart Jewellers shop, a photography shop, shoe
shops, Norman Simmons quality menswear and bespoke tailors, Feminine
Lingerie, Wax Lyrical - a fascinating candle speciality shop,
Lakeland Coats (waxed and countrywear) and several other small
shops. Popular venue for Farmers, Continental and other seasonal
street markets.
