Once a cultural icon. The changed facade of the old Boyce Adams store.
Piccadilly in Hanley, the city centre of Stoke-on-Trent (no it isn't Stoke that is the centre) has been designated the Cultural Quarter of the area. Unfortunately the local retail shops don't seem to appreciate the fabric of the buildings in which they are housed, surely the old architecture and people of the area say more about our culture than anything that the homogenized national shop chains can! This property was once the site of Boyce Adams grocery store which was built in 1877. See link for an old image courtesy of the Sentinel: legacymedia.localworld.co.uk/275796/Article/images/173622... The building to the right (signed Addison) was formerly a fishmonger and game supplier belonging to G Bradbury.
