only_me Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 On Heeley Bottom ( London Rd, opposite Lowfields school ) there is an Equipment / Tool hire company situated in a glass fronted, white coloured building. Anyone with memories of what businesses in the past have been situated there ? I can remember this as being Bishops printers in the 1970s. Bishops later moved to Netherthorpe Road.

Runningman Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks me-and-pippo and only me for your replies. The rear of 426 London Rd is my point of interest, this being the location in 1941 of George Bertram Eccles, Plumber. My father worked for Bert Eccles for a number of years.

rubydazzler Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 1965 directory, London Road. 426 Mrs.Catherine Mappin, wardrobe dealer. 428 Arber & Walker Electric Ltd. electrical contractors. 430 R S Hutchinson, contractors. 432 W Bishop & Sons. (Sheffield) Ltd. printers. 442 National Provincial Bank Ltd. ------- Wolsey Road -------- Presuming that 'wardrobe dealer' is a euphemism for a secondhand clothes shop? Is this the bit of London Road north of the Queens Road traffic lights? I remember Funnells secondhand furniture shop on the corner below the big church and think Arber & Walker were still there until at least the mid 80s. Have you got a list for further along, more Heeley Bottom area, me-and-pippo? In the 50s/60s, I remember Savage the butchers and there was a dress shop on the corner of Chippinghouse road where my mother got American tan stockings for the summer and assorted underpinnings There was also an outfitters on the other side with a recessed entrance and some sort of mirrored pillar where I remember being bought a flowered coronet and veil and a very flouncy white First Communion dress, made from that revolutionary fabric 'paper nylon'. There was an engineering firm with sliding metal doors and a little sweetshop that jutted out over the river, just by the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
