Before it closed as a shop, Jenners Department Store was the oldest department store in the world. It opened in 1838.

Very sad. Happy memories of shopping there with my mother when I was little, and later as a grown up, enjoying the glamour of the surroundings, remember buying a wonderful outfit in the 'designer' room, wore it 'til it fell apart. But even if you bought a blouse in the sale it would be properly & carefully wrapped in tissue paper. SO lovely at Christmas time,looking at the tree from the galleries. Always thought I'd be one of those 'auld wifes' genteelly elbowing others out of the way for a window table in the restaurant. Ah well- thanks for those memories, you were so much more than just another department store.

Was it the oldest department store? Boswells in Oxford, closed in 2020, opened in the 1760’s I think. Either way, it is a shame to see this happen.

The irony of this video is that you can clearly see in the fire affected area that the building is fitted with a full sprinkler system 🤷
