Gray's Motorcycles were there, after they left Bridge Street Bus Terminus.

No this was more of a Motor Factors / Motor spares shop

You dont mean a little further up West Street towards the old Beehive pub do you?

There was a large Motor Factors up there - I will call my dad later and see if he remembers (may be a problem he is 85)

All I can remembetr at the top of Carver Street was some small factories, the dole office, and some social security building - but I been out of Sheffield nearly 20 years now.

Thanks for that

Could it have been Edmund Walkers seem to remember them at that end

That was it!! - Edmund Walkers - there was also an electrical store that sold alternators, dynamos etc.

They were almost next to Kennings who had a garage just past the old Royal Hospital (going out of town - hospital on left, garage on right)

Fred Hartley and sons Motor Factors were near the top of Carver st next to the Coop factory, Edmund Walkers were opposite the inland revenue buildind and Samuel Wilson Garage I Worked there in the 1950's Kenning were further up,:cool: Globe and Simpson was a Automobile elecrical depot,

Thanks for that Globe and Simpson was the Name I was looking for
Cheers
