Carillon Motors Limited, 16 Pinfold Gate are listed as a Triumph car dealer in my directories for 1959 and 1965. A Standard Service week was held at Carillon Motors Limited, 44 Pinfold Road from 28 March to 1 April 1960 during which staff from the factory assisted with the promotion.
By 1969 they had moved to Woodgate. After that they lost the franchise. At some point I believe they were bought out by Mann Egerton & Co Ltd.

Lathams (Loughborough) Ltd on Woodgate, Southfield Rd, Loughborough held the BMC franchise and I believe took on the premises of Carillon Motors Limited. I also understand that Lathams (Loughborough) Ltd were then taken over by Mann Egerton & Co Ltd.
