Locomotors
Eagle142 tells me that this building on the corner of Buxton Road and Brook Street was the showroom premises of the car dealers 'Locomotors'. He further tells me that the business was part of the Hovis empire, having been established by a Mr Morton (of Morton Hall fame) to enable him to obtain new cars at trade price. By the 1960s it was selling high class secondhand cars.
It was later the Rent Equip base until they sold out, and since then Speedyhire and part for a motorcycle business. It now stands empty and for sale/to let. The clock is a fine detail and very much of the period.
