Wilkinson, L & A

26 Norfolk Market Hall, Sheffield

Norfolk Market Hall had at least two other record stalls, Gillibrand’s and Rodgers, the latter at 25. I assume Wilkinson’s, at 26, was there either before or after Rodgers. They label themselves “The Original Gramophone Shop”, which suggests trying to get one over on a rival! But given the market for records, it’s quite possible there were a couple of dealers there at the same time. This sleeve turned up only recently, which suggests fewer survive. The Market Hall itself was demolished at the end of the 1950s.
