That's Jill Hanson's shop on Market Way, Prof. The shop in Hertford Street was A & F E Hanson Ltd, Music, Pianos, Theatre Bookings, at no.61 - they were Jill's grandfather and great uncle. That shop was later taken over by Jill's father, and it did sell gramophone records - I know 'cos I bought from there!

Prof Yes, piano's, and most families had one. We bought ours from Fennells, it had a label inside the lid of the piano stool, along with all the sheet music. When you had about twenty relatives sitting round singing on a cold winters night it brought the family together like the tele can never do.

Thank you, Heathite, Hanson's, of course, slip of memory - wonder where Fennells shop was, nearer 1920 when mother bought her piano.

He moved to the Lower Precinct in the 1960's Kaga, selling more than pianos by then.

Kaga, the 1939 and 1940 Telephone DIrectories both list "John Fennell, Pianos, 158 Spon Street" Thumbs up The Spon Street thread has several references to this shop I see nothing to suggest they were in Hertford Street Oh my

I wonder if Spinadisc got the Fennells location? I can remember Spinadisc but not Fennells.
