[57688] Edinburgh : Jenners
Jenners, 47-52 Princes Street, Edinburgh, 1893-95.
By William Hamilton Beattie (1842-1898).
A listed.
A view from the Scott Monument.
The first shop was opened on the 1st May 1838 by Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington in converted houses on the present site; these burnt down on the night of the 26th November 1892, with the loss of buildings and goods valued at a quarter of a million pounds. The present fireproofed replacement was one of the largest department stores in Britain when it was opened on the 8th March 1895, is one of the last privately owned independent stores left in Britain, and apparently the oldest in the world.
