125th Anniversary Display, Marks and Spencer's, Briggate

Michael Marks opened his stall in Kirkgate Market in 1884, a short distance from the present M&S store in Leeds. This window display celebrates the 125th Anniversary.
Many years ago, I was told a story by my great-aunt, that my great-grandfather had been offered a share in the business by Michael Marks, but turned him down. If he had accepted the offer, we would probably be looking at Marks & Blumenthal.
The Centenary Clock in Kirkgate Market is near the location of the original stall - SE3033 : M&S Centenary Clock, Kirkgate Market, Leeds
