Osgood and Coates, where based at number 763,781 & at either 785 or 758, I’m unable to make out these numbers. I believe this would make the shop near to Sylvan Grove, but I could be wrong on the location. The bike looks like a Triumph similar to what I had (1960s) but not for long I liked a roof over my head. :roll:
