ABC Wednesday: H is for Harry Hall cycles


Another ABC Wednesday and it's "H" for Harry Hall cycles. Harry first set up in business with his cycle shop way back in 1955. It's located in one of the many railway arches on the stretch between Oxford Road and Deansgate stations. 

Harry Hall remains a family-run business to this day which is wonderful to see in an age where chains of large out of town cycle and sports shops dominate the market. Go team Harry!

Linking, of course, to ABC Wednesday .
