Sheffield History Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Does anyone remember the shops and superstores on Kilner Way before the current shopping centre was built? I do remember Halfords having an old warehouse style building (shown above) Also Comet had an electrical superstore there that was really dark and not very well kept (very dirty shop with bits of paper and stickers all over the windows and floors) There was The Buttyman van serving hot sandwiches and butties on Kilner Way There was GlynWebb home/housewares type shop There was also S.R Gent factory store (was that next to the supermarket?) Can you think of any others? What was the name of the supermarket on the left as you turned onto Kilner Way - was it Gateway or Safeway or something?

Big_Sheff Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 did me when i first saw them. brings back memories of being sat outside halfords as a kid in the 90s in my dads Peugeot 309. back and forth getting alsorts of parts because it was running like a bag of spanners 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
