Bainbridge's
thumb
Bainbridge's was a major department store in Eldon Square in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The store, which is now branded as John Lewis Newcastle, moved to its current site in 1974, but the company dates back to 1838. It became the first department store in the world in 1849, when it began recording weekly turnover separately by department. In 2002, after a vote by store employees, the owner John Lewis changed the official name to John Lewis Newcastle, although most shoppers still use the Bainbridge's name.
== History ==
The store dates back to 1838, when Emerson Muschamp Bainbridge went into partnership with William Alder Dunn and opened a drapers and fashion shop in Newcastle's Market Street. Despite success the two partners fell out and went their separate ways.
In 1849 there were 23 separate departments, with weekly takings recorded by department, making it the first department store in the world.〔Anne Pimlott Baker, ‘Bainbridge, Emerson Muschamp (1817–1892)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2010 (accessed 29 April 2011 )〕 This ledger survives and is now kept in the archives of the John Lewis Partnership. Emerson became the sole proprietor in 1855.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Friends Of Jesmond Old Cemetery - Bainbridge )〕 By the 1870s there were more than forty retail departments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC One - The Paradise - Locating Paradise )〕
