dunsbyowl1867 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Firvale end of Herries Road It runs from Firvale Road to Crabtree Road. It's a house so it must have been his home address. There were some buildings that looked like garages at the bottom of Goddard Hall Road - very dilapidated. They musts have backed on to some other garage premises which faced onto Herries Road. May have all gone now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garage premises which faced on to Herries Road was Turners, they sold new and used cars and had a large workshop under the showrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterside Echo Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Rippon Bothers Ellin Sreet. Rolls Royce. Though the jewel in the crown for us car mad teenagers in the late 1950s was just a few hundred yards away, Metcalfes on St Marys Gate, suppliers of brand new american cars. My favourite at the time was a pale yellow Ford Fairlane 500 convertable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart0742 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 My brother came round with his collection. Absolute gem of a time capsule. Unfortunately, although he has dozens of brochures in excellent condition (all from around 1978/9) very few have the dealers stamp. Therefore they're not much use for this purpose. Below are the ones that do. ....... BMW dealers ? Bottom of Garden Street 1978/9 What did they call the BMW Dealer at the bottom of Garden St Present name is Sytners but that's quite new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterside Echo Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Up until the early 1960s Sheffield was well catered for if you liked Fords. Apart from the big three TCH, Brook Shaw, and Autoways, there were also smaller official Ford dealers. At the moment just three come to mind, Palmer Road garage, Turners on Herries Road and one at the junction of Penistone Road/Leppings Lane [later to become Gregory and Dench]. These small independent garages had invested a lot of time and money selling Dagenham products until Ford pulled the plug on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB has just posted a lot of old adverts in the "1960's Adverts" thread which appear to be from contemporary adverts in THE STAR. Some of them give details of 1960's car dealerships. 1960's adverts Frank Ropers Motorcycles? Cross Sythes Motors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterside Echo Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 As far as I know the Moss Motor Company were not car dealers but they were a Sheffield company that offered a cheap way into the sportscar scene. Prices started from £988 + V.A.T. an old Cortina a few tools and a bit of common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towngate Motors on Northfield Road were Datsun dealers, [their Radio Hallam jingle was `Tiptoe down to Towngate`] The name of the business originated from their first premises on Towngate Road Oughtibridge.
