Albert Walter Gamage - a photo on Flickriver

Gamages was once a great London department store. It was opened by Albert Walter Gamage in 1878 and closed, nearly a century later, in 1972. You may be wondering what it has to do with the GEC. Well, in July 1919, A W Gamage's son Leslie Carr Gamage married Muriel Hirst, eldest daughter of Hugo Hirst. Soon after that, Leslie joined the GEC and, nearly 40 years later, became briefly the Chairman and Managing Director.
The store was unusual in that it was not in the West End but in Holborn. There's a comparison here of that street now and at the time when Gamages was still there.
