Bought quite a few Army radio sets from it costing me about £5 each as i recall ,but this was in the late 70s early 80s .
Maybe someone can put a name to the place?
It was WS Surplus Supplies Ltd. I used to call in there when in Oxford.

On the other side of the street was Westwoods, which sold electronic components - run by a Mr (Leslie?) Westwood, who also owned the wholesale business downstairs - Duval.
