walking around counterfeit captial of the UK!

Step into the clandestine realm of Manchester's Counterfeit Street, where the illicit trade used to thrive in the city's underbelly. Join me as I navigate through the intricate web of knock-offs and imitation good shops that once were!

    I used to travel up to Manchester occasionally to go here. It was always a bit mad when you'd be in one of the shops and the shutters would suddenly come down and you wouldn't be able to leave until what I'm guessing was the Police patrol had passed. I'll admit I'm more than a bit surprised it's actually stayed closed.

    I love buying knockoffs. They dont have the name brand, but if you are careful you can get a decent product for a decent price without a designer name on it. I got a Coach Legacy style bag for less than 20 dollars about 7 years ago. It was manufactured exactly the same way with the same kind of leather as the branded product. It was the same right down to the stitching and hardware. Made in China same as the Coach Legacy bag costing close to 200.

    I'm surprised Cheetham Hill has closed down for good, it used to get raided every 6 months then as soon as the police left the shutters of the shops would re-open. Gangs of Asians would peddle smack in broad daylight as young kids walked past shopping with their parents, it felt like a lawless area. It was thriving in its day 1000's of people from around the country would converge looking for a cheap deal now it will just be a ghost town or demolished and turned into housing.
