This went out the window as soon as an adult came in cause they bumped you straight away!!!!!! Proper barbers chair with a small plank across for us nippers!

I can vaguely remember going to a barber's on Whalley Road ... somewhere between the Load and the bridge over the cut ... think the guy was Italian. The one that I remember a little more clearly was the guy who cut hair on Lower Barnes St., just down from the Forts. I know I used to hate going .... that's probably why I look like I do in my profile pic
