Bearmans
Bearmans was a small department store located in Leytonstone, London.
==History==
In 1898, Frank Bearman a 27-year-old draper opened a shop on the north side of Leytonstone High Street on the site of a former vicarage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bearmans Department Store in Leytonstone Remembered - Guardian p.17 Dec 2012 )〕 By 1906 the business had purchased a nearby furniture shop, and in 1910 opened an arcade to match the larger department stores in London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bearmans Department Store in Leytonstone Remembered - Guardian p.17 Dec 2012 )〕 Between 1908 and 1921, Frank Bearman jointly owned with J W Holdron, a store owner in Peckham, the Croydon department store Allders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Story of a Store - Kerry McQueeney p.29 December 2004 )〕
During the Second World War the store survived the Blitz, and in 1957 expanded again by building a store extension in Kirkdale Road, which Bearmans claimed had the first Escalators outside of London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bearmans Department Store in Leytonstone Remembered - Guardian p.17 Dec 2012 )〕
In 1956 Frank Bearman died, and with increased competition in the area the business was sold to the London Co-operative Society for £1 million in 1962. The Co-operative continued to run the store until 1982 when they closed the operation. The building was demolished and replaced, and is now home to Matalan. A Blue Plaque has been placed on the outside of the new building reminding people of Bearmans by the Leyton & Leytonstone Historical Society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bearmans Department Store in Leytonstone Remembered - Guardian p.17 Dec 2012 )〕
