That week, the paper carried a 20-page supplement about the business and its sites in the town.
The first gallery covered the majority of the department store, which was located in Strait Bargate.
This gallery features more of that shop, plus sister outlets: Oldrids Contracts, Insiders, and the Man Shop.

The fine print on the cover expresses regret that the page was not published in full colour. This, it explains, was due to strike action from print unions. Photo: Boston Standard
