Old shops on Kilner Way Sheffield

Recommended Posts

There was a Carpet Choice which was the building which is now the bingo place, I worked there from its opening until its closing about 5 years later. Paul Eyre opened up a few yards away. this would be circa 1989ish.

Gregory and Dench Renault car dealership was on there. Opened by Wendy Craig.

 

Wasn't this managed by Derek Cook of- DC Cook fame?

I am sure Gregory and Dench were on the corner of Penistone Rd

and Leppings lane, opposite Law Bros. Remember collecting a company car from there.

Cannot recall the one on Kilner Way.

I was administrator for Glyn Webb right at the top from when it opened in 1996 to when it closed in 2006. Loved my job.

There wasn't a Bridges electrical shop it was comet, there wasn't a Gregory and Dench or timberland on there either, at the top was Glyn Webb, next to it was bingo (still there) there was comet, Halfords, S R Gents and at one point an American Diner in Somerfields car park when I was there.

There was definitely a Bridges electrical shop there at one time,it was the shop Gents took over.

I had a test drive in a Renault 12 when Gregory & Denches were on Kilner Way.

Not sure if they moved there from barrack hill or visa versa . Penistone Road / Leppings Lane rings a bell though.

Yes this was here before Glyn Webb moved in.

Gregory & Dench were where Halfords was, they also had showrooms at penistone rd/ leppings la. and where Hillsborough transport interchange is now, my mother and aunty used to work for them. Bridges was next to the gateway (later somerfields) store.
