Alfanso Salmon: Hulme’s Sweet & Strong Legacy

Alfanso Vivian Salmon, the beloved Hulme icon who turned a taxi service into a community hub and a chicken shop into a sweet-toothed legend, has died at 88. A Windrush pioneer who arrived in 1960, he built his empire from the ground up — feeding clubbers, ferrying families, and always putting others first. Known for his generosity, quiet kindness, and legendary candy-filled shop, he wasn’t just a businessman — he was a pillar of the neighborhood, a father figure to many, and a true gentleman whose legacy lives on in every story of Manchester’s Hulme.
