A look at a lost shop in Leigh.
The Carphone Warehouse on Bradshawgate in Leigh, Greater Manchester - one of the 531 standalone shops closed by the brand in April of this year.
The Carphone Warehouse was founded in 1989 and while the brand still exists, products and services are now offered within Currys PC World stores.
Back in 1999 The Carphone Warehouse purchased Tandy's operations in the UK. My first job was at a Tandy franchise in 1995 and I've found traces of that brand in Hitchin and Saint Annes on the Sea on my travels.
