On the 2nd October 1941 the store was destroyed by bombers during World War II. It took nearly 9 years to rebuild and reopen the store. On the 11th August 1950 the store was reopened, the building above the store was still being constructed when the store opened. This photo shows the queue that formed for the opening.
