Diy Store, Kilner Way

Recommended Posts

Does anyone remember the DIY store I think was called Jupiter, it was on the right as you entered, Comet being further up on the same side. I think it was still there into the 80s but I can't remember what happened to the building.

Glynn Webb came along later and was on the other side where Home Bargains is now.

I'm certain there was a DIY store there in the early/mid 70s, Halfords might have taken over later.

There was a D.I.Y shop on Kilner way but I think it was somewhere around where the Bingo is now.I think it was called Glynn Webbs.

Your memory is obviously better than mine! So, there would just be Halfords between Comet and the road.

 

In the pic is Solo supermarket and Bridges Electrical, Target (Glynn Webb) on the right just out of shot, and to the left would be Halfords/Comet.

Never knew that. I believe there was also one on the end of Claywheels Lane, just behind Carphone Warehouse.
