Hello Vivienne I used to work at Crowthers in St Ann square and Arndale Center in Manchester in 1977 78. But I dont remenber the names of the ladies who owned these shops?Chelsea Girl - as I remember, the main shop in Town where you could hear loud music Chris. Always blaring out. Viv.
In early '60s I used to buy TV aerials and associated items such as splitter boxes from a shop which I think was Plotniks. If I remember correctly it was up Soho Road or near abouts. Can anyone recall it? Before the days of Maplins!
Yes, I do! It was Hamstead Rd, frontage right on the building line AFAIR left hand side going from Soho Hill.In early '60s I used to buy TV aerials and associated items such as splitter boxes from a shop which I think was Plotniks.

Radiocentre, Matthews and Norman Field x2 in Hurst St., Stan Willetts in W Brom and Amateur Electronics, on Alum Rock Rd., There was Lasky's in Corporation St, opposite and below C&A. There was Norman Rose on Constitution Hill (trade), moved to Cregoe St... Finally Tandy (everywhere)Banjo,
There were several and all have been mentioned on here in various threads. Norman's son used to have a website about his family business - there was one in Snow Hill as well - but I can't locate it at the moment. Just below that was the one that sold a lot of government surplus elctronics, but my memory is fading rapidly these days. He died not long ago. I will see what I can dig out.

lighthouseBanjo,
Matthews was the second one I was thinking of, and the one in Bromsgrove Street was run by a bloke called Sam Kershaw.

Any electronic/radio parts I needed would usually be bought from Hurst St. There were quite a few shops up there but, I can't recall any names.

AH Field was into property lettings. I completed a new telephone system for his son in the 80s in serviced offices in New St. I was led to believe the family name was originally Hirschfield.Norman A Field or alternatively Norman AH Field one or the other rings a bell for one of the retailers
Are Druckers still going?
I would kill for one of their Pork Pies! I worked in a butchers shop after school but Bywaters PP and sausages were the BESTBywaters. My mum worked for them in Kingstanding. Never short of sausages or pies for tea. Viv.
