skippy Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I got my first guitar from Wilson Peck in 1955, everything was on the ground floor at that time from memory, as I banged my hip on a grand piano whilst we were walking around looking at the few Spanish guitars on the wall. Wilson Peck sold more orchesteral instuments at that time, but Cann's seemed to have the market for record's and electric guitars a couple of years later.

Gail Merritt Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think it was Wilson Pecks. I spend many a happy (and not so happy) hour having piano lessons in the studios upstairs. Came back to Sheffield from Melbourne a couple of year ago and I was amazed at the changes. Glad to see that Andrews the stationers were still there - I'm an old City Grammar student and spent a lot of my spare money on books and pens in that shop.

alan p Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hello dunsel, The reason I remember Canns moving to Chapel Walk, was I knew a girl that worked there,but thats another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tofty Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Tofty, Can you remember the name of the manageress at that time. Sorry my memory is not that good on names. At the time I was 16/17 and in the record dept there was a girl about the same age, a slightly older man probably mid to late 20's and an older woman but their names I can't think of.

alan p Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Tofty, I think the older woman was a neighbour of ours called Mrs Stacey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soft ayperth Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hello dunsel, The reason I remember Canns moving to Chapel Walk, was I knew a girl that worked there,but thats another story. Then, you have first hand knowledge. I only remember the Dixon Lane location. But, I don't think it was ever on the Moor as someone has suggested, was it?
