Someone on another forum not a million miles from this one is asking about this prewar Dealer,
at 55-57 Westgate (Rd ?) ,Peterborough.
Now, old dealer details is a a part interest of mine, having had varied success in tracking down details/pics of various older dealers. Its amazing how many come and go, and shift about, when you look into any of them over time. And they are something that it seems are either never photographed, or seemed to bathe in the limelight, and had gazillions taken...
Couldn't actually find any for this Dealer, but the Westgate area is part of a major reconstruction, and whole webpages are devoted to the whole area. This old Austin/Hillman car Dealer - Lovells Garage on Westgate seems to be in about the right area and even street number, but no-where does it actually quote the street number.
"Just about opposite the Wortley Almshouses"

Lovells either still exists or someone is building a history of it.

Could they know of a Norton Dealer close by ?
Streetview shows that this site is now a carpark ?
Anyone near there ?
