Administrative / biographical background: This business began as a pawnbroking business in Brook Street founded in 1878 by Mr. William Bradley. In 1882, an outfitting business opened in Foregate Sreet and new premises were built on the corner of Seller Street in 1888, known as 'Bradley's Corner'. Branches were opened in other towns and wholesale warehouses and a clothing factory were established before World War I. In 1908, Joseph Banks acquired the business on the death of Anthony Bradley. In 1927, new headquarters opened in City Road which closed in 1971, when rolls of honour and war memorials of Bradley's staff were deposited in the Record Office (see CR 108).
