You were almost right. It was Ernest T Pulham
This is from the 1941 phone book

My dentist was Mr Wade on Brudenell Road (the triangle formed by the other two roads, Welton Road and Chestnut Avenue).
My grandmother always told me He'd taken over from a Mr Pulham. I wonder if they were related?

I seem to remember a haulage firm in Leeds in the 50's called Murray & Bright. Does anyone else recall the firm?

I wouldn't disagree with that "dogduke", it certainly rings a bell. Just glad I wasn't imagining it.
