The landlord of Softys' Hard Stuff was fined for operating without a sex shop licence

A seedy looking sex shop that was dreamed up for a Peter Kay TV series nearly 25-years ago, took on a life of its own after the cameras stopped rolling.

READ MORE: The lost M61 service station that was once branded the worst in the country - but it had a big claim to fameThat Peter Kay Thing was a mockumentary style series first shown on Channel 4 in 2000. Written by the comic alongside Dave Spikey, Neil Fitzmaurice and Gareth Hughes, the series was set in and around Bolton following a group of oddball characters, often played by Kay.

Kay's character then tells us - "The a**e has fallen out of this business...". The episode revolves around Mr Softys' struggling ice-cream business which he supplements by selling 'adult' videos to locals, which he keeps in the van's freezer alongside the choc-ices. In one photo of the shop that appears on the fascinating shop front elegy website - an archive for old shop fronts. There is a handwritten sign outside the shop that says: "Cheapest adult toys in Bolton? We think so - take a look."

One person, said: "I remember! Not that I frequented the place though." Another said: "God, it looks seedy!"
