Is that an early branch of Evans...

Nice find tho, and I'm curious as to the gramaphones on the left and why they're in a bike emporium :?

Probably cashing in on the new gramophone fad. It will never catch on. I worked as a saturday boy in a shop that had two entrances. At one end was a sports shop and the other a leather goods shop.

What's in all those pigeon holes behind the counter on the right ? love to have a rake through those!

Answering my own question, wonder if they are wax cylinders on the right and this was a music shop first, bicycle second? A go-ahead dealer with 78s on the left knowing this was the way forward?

How else do you think folk used to listen to some tunez whilst out on their bikes? :roll:
