Categories: Commerce

Group

In 1855 Richard Jordan opened a pawnbrokers in Church Street. This developed into Jordan’s department store which operated in enlarged premises until the 1970s when the business failed. In 1976 the shop reopened as Alfies Antique Market.

Online sources give 1885 as the year that Richard Jordan opened his pawnbroker business, but that's possibly the year that it became a department store.
