In 1912, Charles Moore established his music business at 46 Station Road, Wigston. One year later the business was moved to 56 Blaby Road, South Wigston and by 1920 was firmly established at No. 117 Blaby Road, where it remained until the shop was sold at the end of 1972. Initially the shop sold pianos, organs and other musical instruments; gramaphones and sheet music. In 1922 the shop began to sell radios and in later years, due to the slump in demand for musical instruments, sold televisions and other electrical goods. |
