Her Majesty the Queen visits the Owen Owen Redditch store in 1983
As the Queen prepares to celebrate her Platinum Anniversary this Summer it seems appropriate to look back to some of her many engagements including her trip to the Owen Owen Redditch Store.
Many thanks to Janet Young for sharing these wonderful images from 1983 of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visiting the Kingfisher Centre in Redditch to open Milward Square, a pedestrian plaza within the centre.
Janet worked at the Owen Owen Redditch store from 1980 to 1986. Pictured on the photo of the Queen on the left are our volunteer visitor for the Redditch/Evesham area Margaret Escott and Mrs Telkman from the fashions department.
The second photograph features the girls from the cosmetics and lingerie departments including Janet Young and Marlane Bennet now Mrs Syler who was her manager.
