Afflecks
Afflecks (formerly Affleck's Palace)〔 〕 is an indoor market in Manchester, England, in the city's Northern Quarter on the junction of Church Street/Tib Street and Dale Street with Oldham Street. Dozens of independent stalls, small shops and boutiques operate in the one building. The building was once occupied by a department store called Affleck and Brown as a store and office space, hence the name.
==Affleck & Brown history==
Affleck & Brown was started in the 1860s as a drapery business in Oldham Street. The store grew to occupy a whole block between Oldham Street, Church Street and Tib Street and become a full flung department store.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oldham Street - Tom's Travels )〕 The business had a good reputation as a credit draper and was known for a good range of cloth for home dressmaking〔Corina, M. (1978) ''Fine Silks and Oak Counters''. London: Hutchinson Benham; pp. 140, 167, 190〕 as well as a furrier.
The business started to decline after the advent of the Second World War as shopping moved away from Oldham Street, and in the 1950s Debenhams added the store to their portfolio. But the continued decline of the area and the ownership of another Manchester department Store, Pauldens saw the store close down in 1973.〔
