First Blog - Welcome

Dear All,

My name is Ben and I used to work at Lewis's Department Store in Liverpool. I often thought about creating a virtual musuem of this famous store but never really got round to it.

The store's owners (Vergo Retail Ltd) went into administration in 2010 and unfortunatly the store closed. The people who worked there were great and I wish them all the luck in the future.

Although the store is no longer around, I aim to use this blog to share the history of Lewis's and Owen Owen's, as well as sharing with you some of the little gems of stores around and about the North West of England, as well as providing reviews. I aim to create a database of little department stores in the region and if I miss any out I hope you will put me correct.

All the Best & Welcome to my blog

Ben
