Yes, Gunstone's was on the corner of Duke Street - see the Kelly's Directory scan in post #8 above. Here is a scan of South Street in the 1965 directory.

Directories from the early/mid 1950s show "Alfred Shaw & Sons, builders' ironmongers" at 26 Duke Street, above Gunstones. They had evidently gone from there by 1958.
