carosio   176 #1 Posted April 16, 2020 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.

carosio   176 #3 Posted April 16, 2020 I'm certain there was a DIY store there in the early/mid 70s, Halfords might have taken over later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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.  I didnt know about this steam hammer:   https://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;y12792&pos=324&action=zoom&id=126791 Edited April 19, 2020 by carosio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
