philmayfield 6,301 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 They certainly were opposite the Odeon and did have a large illuminated sign. I’ve spent some time there in the past preparing and auditing their accounts. Behind the scenes it was a rabbit warren. Even more so when they took over AB Gibson’s and went right through to Parliament St. There was a turntable in Gibson’s for spinning their vans round. Pearsons’ directors used to park in there. John Pearson used to enter at speed in his Jensen Interceptor, break hard on the turntable which spun round to face the exit. Good to watch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
