Description:
Affleck's Palace hosts a four storey bazaar of everything quirky, kitsch and original. Check out the mosaics around the building by Mark Kennedy for more Mancunian referencing. 'Panic' in Afflecks Arcade sells a fantastic range of Smiths, Morrissey and other cult band posters. The Tib Street Horn by David Kemp underlines the presence of more than 15 independent record shops here-abouts. This is the Northern Quarter!
Affleck's was threatened with closure in 2008 but was rescued at the last minute in a deal where the building's owners took over from its management team.
