Crane & Sons

6 Royal Exchange Buildings, Lady’s Bridge (4, 5, 6 Lady’s Bridge). 125 The Moor

Listed in the Sheffield & District Trades Directory 1927-28, Crane’s probably has a much longer history, starting as a music shop in Liverpool and then expanding across the country. Still listed as Record Dealers in 1965 directory I vaguely remember them but they’d moved to more modest premises in a more central location (advertised as selling Pianos and organs. 1973 Kellys).  The 78 sleeve lists their various stores. “Everything for The Music Lover”.  The Ladys Bridge building is still standing, now listed.

Back to the list of Record Shops  and Music Shops – if you have any information or images about this shop, we’d love to hear from you.
