What was the name of the Gents' outfitters in Hillsborough?

[mossdog 10]

It must have been a mistake in the 1965 directory as Davy's was next door. Peter Pell's was in the building that had formerly been the Hillsborough Inn, No 2 Holme Lane (here is a link to a picturesheffield.com photo). The 1971 directory correctly shows Peter Pell at No 2 Holme Lane.

.........the picture also shows Boots next in line!..........I used to buy bags of plaster of Paris there and rubber moulds to make toby jugs, then paint them and hope to sell them, (for a pittance).Across the road was Monty Thomas's where I eventually worked as a TV engineer!

Quite right - Fred Erick was at 135-137 Middlewood Road before moving to 38 Infirmary Road in c. 1962.

I remember .."Daubneys" at Malin Bridge....used to sell Horlicks, Sasparella and Coke...........I think the Columbians have made far more money out of selling Coke than old Daubney ever did!

Yes that what I thought about 'Burdall's 'and the Hillsborough Barracks connection or maybe Carter's -they of Attercliffe Road- what with 'Sailor Boy' custard powder and other concoctions they had.

.....was Burdalls based in the old Hillsborough Barracks at one time?...

Yes. The company declined after Herbert Burdall died in 1982 (though the gravy salt was made - elsewhere - until 2000).

...What was piquancy...

Salt. A good example of shrewd, creative marketing!.
