Busbys' Store in its heyday
On the site that is now Manningham Lane Retail Park once stood Busbys' department store.
Bradford people loved Busbys’. Their hearts are full of fond memories of the store that moved into a stunning building in Manningham Lane in 1930 and occupied it until 1978 – the year before a disastrous fire put paid to the then-empty premises.
In its heyday, the store boasted more than 850 staff, with up to 1100 at sales time.
