trogg 2,010 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Yes the previous photo was the exit from the Five Minute Car Wash, the entrance was around the corner on North Sherwood Street. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was also a radio/electronics shop in that row. ‘Super Radio’? Yes it was originally Bennetts. I used to help my dad in my school holidays to repair used cars prior to sale but by this time late 1950s it was Hopcrofts Garage. The basement held probably 15 to 20 cars and had small repair facilities, Bill Hopcroft later injected some cash into Notts County F.C. and helped save it from extinction.

TBI 2,351 Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 That's interesting, I did not know it became Hopcrofts when Bennetts closed in the late fifties. By the very early sixties the garage had been branded ' Moons '. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
