Pearson's was a high end department store that closed in the late 1980's. The shape and the style hasn't changed much since then. You can still see remnants of the former store here and there, like this frieze of fresh food. I can't remember whether they even had a food department.
Today the building belongs to Habitat the furniture store and Boots the Chemists. For anyone who wishes to pay a visit, the building is situated on Long Row; just off the market square.
You can't get any fresher than honey straight from a beehive, I think.
ReplyDeleteCool frieze! Glad to see the new owners didn't remove it.
Now I have that J Geils Band song Freeze Frame in my head. Argh! Interesting to see they kept that. Makes a nice change.
ReplyDeletePearson's Department store is also one of Nottingham's relatively few Grade II* listed buildings
