rojoblanco Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Does anyone know of any photos that exist of the shop at 10 Loxley Road Malin Bridge (opposite what was The Yew Tree )in the '70's or '80's? I can only find one from the '60's when the shop was Bowaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLongden Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 There doesn't appear to be any photos of the actual shop front, although I found one looking back up Loxley New Road to the junction with Loxley Road on 'Yew Tree corner'. The shop is on the left, just beyond 'Reliance Rewinds' (now a bespoke conservatory builder) and the black lettering on a white background appears to read 'AUTOCONOMY'? If that's correct, was it a motor spares discount shop, similar to Fred Hartley's of the same era? Looking at the 'Y' reg Fiesta (1983), it's within the period you were looking for I've pasted the link below, added some photos and enlargements, so see what you think..... http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;t04145&action=zoom&pos=11&id=34438&continueUrl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozzle Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I seem to remember it being a upholstery repairs shop called Cundy's for many years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
