View of Kirkgate Market with the Marks and Spencer's clock in the centre. The inset at the top left shows the blue plaque dedicated to Dewhirst's and Marks & Spencer. It reads 'This was the warehouse of Isaac Dewhirst, wholesale haberdasher and manufacturer of hosiery, pinafores, underclothing and aprons. Obtaining supplies here, the Polish immigrant pedlar, Michael Marks, met Dewhirst's cashier Tom Spencer. In 1894 they formed the most famous partnership in British retailing.' The image inset on the right shows portraits of Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Marks & Spencer Kirkgate Market | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
