Manchester, Market Street and Piccadilly Junction 1965

Overlooked by the then newly-built Plaza Hotel, Piccadilly Square is a main focus
in the city and incorporates a bus terminal and garden area. Lewis's developed
during the late 19th century, and at one time was the largest departmental store
outside London. Paulden's store opened in the 1950s; the building had been
constructed in 1932 as a warehouse.

Remember being taken to Lewis's every Christmas to see father Christmas. Maybe a trick of the memory bit I seem to remember a pithead before the plaza was built.
