Do you have a favourite department store?

Lewis,s liverpool I worked there in 1964/1968 great store, loved Blacklers bargain basement where you could buy just anything, They had a fabulous huge rocking horse as you walked in, I believe the proceeds from charging to ride on it went to local charities, George Henry Lee was another favourite store , it’s now John Lewis

Kalu Goldbergs and Lewis's in the 60's were where we went for clothes ,Daly's and McDonalds in Buchanan St were where my mum liked to buy for herself. I later worked in both Lewis's and Goldbergs in their fantastic Grottos and on their Minipix dept taking photos of children .I remember in my late teens buying a maxi dress from Jenners for a christmas dance and getting the afternoon off work to go pick it up when the alteration had been done .

Binns in the '60's - '80's, then it became House of Fraser. There was also Bullough's, but that was much pricier, so if I went in there it was just for a look round. I used the hair salon in Binns quite regularly.
My favourite department store now is Hoopers in Harrogate. I bought a beautiful dress there last year.

Carmichael's in Hull was, justifiably known as 'the Harrods of the North'. Sadly it is no longer there but, in its day, it was magnificent. Everything they sold was top quality. When I was at school we visited and were taken into the board room with a fabulous antique board table.
