the old Stanley Casino next to the old ABC cinema.
use to love that casino, down the stairs and underground....just how casino's should be. real private but nice atmosphere. not like the new soulless Circus Casino where chavs and dicks go because they think its cool.
Sneaky Culture in the precinct off piccadilly.....quality vintage gear and old computer games etc
also just remembered when another world was on the top floor of that building opposite the shopping centre, on the square where theres a few market stalls and the white pub (never remember the name of that place!)

That Stanley Casino used to be The Heavy Steam machine did it not? I liked it muchly in their too, used to take the missus in there quite often when we'd been on the piss in Hanley.
Anyone remember Bizar? Used to sell all sorts of weird stuff, was near where the lower entrance to TKMaxx is now, always went in there when I was in Hanley.

Remember Chawners clothes shop, two-tone tonic suits, crombies, Ben Sherman shirts. Levis, loafer shoes (with tassles of course) all for the discerning skinhead about town.
Also Sherwins music shop on corner of Old Town St and the square. Used to work as butchers boy in Dewhusts just up from Sherwins in 60s. All gone now in the name of the Potteries Centre.
