Kings Road, he lived there in the 70's, dunno where he lived before that
None of the Smiths came from Salford. It's one of the ironies of their strong association with the city's Lads' Club.

I've heard him refer to it as Stressford before, but he's just taking the piss. It's Stretford.

Johnny Marr comes from Ardwick.
In the song 'Now my heart is full' he says 'Every jammy Stressford poet'
and Johnny Marr was raised in Ardwick as mentioned and moved to Baguley (pronounced Bag-ley), Wythenshawe (pronounced 'With-in-shaw') when a bit older.

One photo-shoot does not make a strong association! I think it's that fact that it's still standing, and looking pretty much the same as it did in the famous photo, that makes it attract fans.
I don't think the Arndale escalator would be quite the same?
