Following the passing of Manchester's legendary Mr Clark, founder of the iconic Clark Brothers shop in the Northern Quarter, the beloved local institution will sadly close its doors.

Clark Brothers has been a fixture on Thomas Street for over 60 years, offering everything from retro stationery and funky Christmas decorations to kitsch, festive-themed homeware items. They specialise in quirky Christmas decorations, serving both local businesses and locals for many years.

Although some of its stock may be taken over by Fred Aldous, Clark Brothers will officially close its doors following the January sales.
