Days 7 and 8
... but closed, the department itself having been relocated elsewhere. This will prove to be a recurring theme as we explore our old stomping grounds.
The next day (Sunday), we take the bus out to Sharrow Vale Road, where I lived in my second year. I remember it as quite a bohemian area, and it doesn't disappoint. Still seems pretty down to earth but with even more quirky shops and eateries. And my old terraced house looks ...
