Z3006 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hey guys, I'm a truck driver and was driving through Sheffield the other day when I saw something in a shop window I really liked the look of when stopped in traffic but before I could figure out where I was I got moving again and I am now wracking my brains trying to remember the shop name and location so I can go back. I'm from Manchester so I don't have clue about the streets of Sheffield or my whereabouts so starting this thread is my last resort in finding this place. I'm hoping someone here has a clue on whereabouts this place is. It was a home decor shop that sold things like ornaments and statues and it was in within the asian community. I got a good look at the shop name but stupidly never wrote it down! It began with A, something like Amina or Amani or something? Blue neon sign I think. Like I said, I don't know sheffield at all aside from what my SatNav tells me so I haven't the faintest idea where I was at the time. Thanks in advance.

silverglade5 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Could you give us some idea as to where you entered and left Sheffield? This would give some idea of your likely route through the city and identify the locations to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeZeus Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 This might be a long shot, but might just Help You, to assist Us (Sheffielders) If you were on your SATNAV travelling to Sheffield, re run the same journey, if yours is a modern SATNAV, it maybe has a preview test mode, else come to Sheffield again on your day off following same route! You could then give us some clue of the roads travelled on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3006 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 I was travelling from North of sheffield to Dronfield for my last delivery. I'm not sure of the exact route but on Monday what I'll do is dig out what addresses I was travelling between and can hopefully get the exact route I took through sheffield. Then its a matter of crawling through Google Street View 😁 This is such a long shot but I'm determined to find this. Challenge accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I wonder if you either came down Spittal Hill (https://goo.gl/maps/Yzo9vPXPwy3Nz6nh6) or out along Abbeydale or Chesterfield Roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Long shot but It wasn’t a lighting shop was it? There’s Aries at Darnall. Youd see it from Prince of Wales Road, plus there’s often standing traffic there due to a few sets of traffic lights.

MotherB Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Could be Amara on Alderson Road, just off Queens Road, seems to fit your description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
