This Sheffield chain of electrical retailers and record shops began at least as early as the mid-1920s on London Road (moving at least three times there). The the 1930s they were advertising record bars in their shops at 1 Porter Street, Moorhead; 68-72 London Road; 253 Crookes and 669 Chesterfield Road.
They opened a new Moorhead shop at 5 The Moor around 1959. This finally closed in 1973. They also had shops in Doncaster, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire at the height of their business. Curtis also operated some sort of recording studio facility before the war.
A detailed entry for W H Curtis is on this site.
