Heading down Ashley Rd from the level crossing, there's Cecil Rd on the right hand side, the shop was on the right hand side about three or four shops down Ashley Rd from the Cecil Rd junction, opposite the shop on the other side of Ashley Rd was a dead end ally, the service dept was down that ally on the left hand side, it was a basement premises, the shop above the basement was a florists back in the day. The service manager was Collin Wright, he had a brother David Wright, David was the proprietor of Van Beck's, a small Hifi shop in Altrincham, it was on the main drag that runs from Chester to Manchester.

I left there after about a year to work for White & Swales, they were down Cecil Rd on the left hand side, the head office was there also, it was called Progress House, they were a good firm to work for.

A bit OT I know but hopefully the Mods will allow.
