Can't help with a pic, but this auction shows several catalogs, which seem to say "The largest motor cycle dealer".
Also gives the street numbers, 70 looks to be the first one - a Flightcentre shop, could be an ex-showroom.

There are several firms of that name still in business, they may know something of their earlier history ?   Sir Rowland Smith had something to do with it ??

Will be a big archive of pics somewhere, the local library is sure to have some, probably not online though. Hope this helps.
