EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the grandeur of Dickins & Jones, Regent Street, London, as captured in this stunning photograph from 1904. Located in the heart of the city, this historic store first opened its doors under the name Dickins, Smith & Stevens in 1835, specializing in women's undergarments. The name was later changed to Dickins & Jones in 1856, reflecting the growing success of the business. Over the years, Dickins & Jones became a beloved institution on Regent Street, attracting shoppers from near and far with its elegant displays and high-quality merchandise. In 1914, the store was acquired by Harrods, further solidifying its place in London's retail landscape. As the decades passed, Dickins & Jones continued to thrive, adapting to the changing times while maintaining its rich heritage. However, by the early 21st century, the store's fortunes began to wane. In June 2005, Dickins & Jones closed its doors for the last time, and the building was sold to property developers. Today, this magnificent structure, with its stunning facade and historic charm, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Regent Street and the vibrant history of shopping in London. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that unfolded within its walls.
