Bonds of Norwich
Bonds of Norwich was a department store based in All Saints, Norwich.
==Early History==
Bonds of Norwich was started in February 1879 by Robert Bond when he took over Woodlands drapery shop at the end of Ber Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norwich HEART )〕 Robert was the son of a farmer, but first started working as a grocer in London, before learning the drapery trade with his brother James in Chelmsford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moulsham Street, Chelmsford 1911 census summary )〕 Bonds in Chelmsford would become a department store in its own right and was bought by Debenhams prior to the Second World War.
The drapery business was very competitive with nearly 90 businesses in Norwich alone. To get noticed Robert Bond advertised on the front of the Norwich Mercury newspaper a Grand Sale, selling the stock of the previous owners at heavily discounted prices.〔 In 1881, Robert and his wife Mary were living above the premises with five of their staff, including a millinery assistant who helped Mary Bond set up Department No 1. The business expanded buying up two of the adjacent properties, and by 1903 Robert's two sons William and Ernest joined the business. The company name was changed to R H Bond & Sons.〔 The third son James Owen Bond became an architect - his firm The Owen Bond Partnership exists today and designed the 1938 store extension.
