Afflecks Palace people say “No!”
Yesterday, regulars of Afflecks came and offered their support of this icon of cheaper fashionable alternative clothing. Each were given the chance to pen their opinion and petition to keep the Palace running.
This old city centre building with five floors of over 40 stalls had been a place where up & coming designers and entrepreneurs sold their wears to young fashionable peeps. It opened in 1982 and was the brainchild of James Walsh, a local hairdresser.
The future of Afflecks Palace is still unsure, maybe this celebration was to test to see if it’s still what young people want in fashion shopping 26 years on.
