notlob Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yes I remember Smith Sayles. I got my first mototcycle insured there. I am sure it was next to the Brown Cow. The shop front was a maroon colour. I still have my insurance doc's which look so much more a document than a printout. If i remember, there was a small step down as you walked in the front door and a man with glasses and a jaw beard served you. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notlob Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yes, I was not too sure on your fathers scarred face. was going to write that was not too sure. He wore a tweedy sports jacket if i remember right. I can still see him now. That would be 1966. i was 16 at the time. and was scared he would ask me questions i would not have known the answers. Great going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I remember that I used to insure my Ford Cortina there, so you can guess it was a while ago. The office was in the Wicker near to the old Studio 7. They were very polular because, they were good value, cheapest in town. Unfortunately, the main Insurance co., they used ( they were brokers) went bust and everyones insurance was invalidated. This would be late 60's, I think. I don't know if Smith Sayles carried on after that. I'm sure someone will be along with more details. No that was South Yorkshire Insurance that was run by the Clegg family, it was very close to Smith Sayles office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
