What's this? The head-quarters of the Official Elvis Presley Fan Club of Great Britain? Down a side-street in a small market town in North Staffordshire?
Yup.
I was completely bowled over to come across this small office/record shop (it only sells Elvis stuff of course, many limited items, and Elvis DVDs, books, memorabilia etc). Manager Vicky Molloy was very welcoming - and has even set up a (vinyl) record player so that people can bring in their favourite Elvis discs and sit about, on the sofa provided, talking about them.
Vicky, who now manages the fan club, lives nearby; and thought an Elvis shop would be a nice idea... She is there most times, at Cross Street in Cheadle.

That qualifies as a curiousity!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it's only fair; we've got shops like this dedicated to the Beatles here in North America.
