There are some old photos of Gower Street on the picturesheffield.com site - here is a link to one of them, showing the Co-Op on the corner of Gower Street and Grimesthorpe Road. Here is a clearer view (part of Burngreave Library can just be seen at the right-hand side).

Up to the 1970s Gower Street was very populous with small businesses stretching from Burngreave Road to Carlisle Street.
