Memories from the Owen Owen store in Doncaster
Thanks to Diane Webb, Sandra Thorpe and Robert Ashton for sending in these wonderful images from the Owen Owen Doncaster store. Robert is now the volunteer display manager at the Trolleybus Museum in Doncaster. He maintains the same high standards in his display work there as he did when he worked at Owen Owen.
Diane Webb nee Smith (store name Smart) started work at Owen Owen straight from school in the late 1960’s. She’s pictured (centre) with fellow telephonists Sandra Proctor (seated) and Christine King in the foreground. Sandra Thorpe nee Smith (store name Shaw) is pictured on the menswear department in 1963. Sybil Beagles is pictured in the background. Sandra is also pictured with the Doncaster store hockey team.
