carosio Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I remember the name, can't quite remember what they sold, although being a man I wasn't into buying ladies underwear, although I suppose it's never too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Well, like carosio I don't make a habit of wearing what Julius Radnansky sold, but having passed his shop twice a day for donkey's years on my way to school/work I remember it well. It was a double-fronted shop on the corner of Langsett Road and Cuthbert Road, opposite the Cuthbert Arns. My sister tells me that Julius and his wife were very nice, Jewish people who sold good quality products at a fair price. A quick look at public records shows that Julius was born in Russia in 1904, his father Anchel being described as a "ladies' tailor" in the 1911 census, at which time the family lived in the Strangeways district of Manchester. Julius married Rosa Bloomberg in Sheffield in 1928 and he died in 1973, which is when the shop must have closed to judge from directory entries.

Kidorry Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 During and just after the war they were both pawn shops.The story we were told as youngsters was that some of the clothes they sold were from dead people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
