The store was designed in a new East Anglian Arts-and-Crafts style by A N Bromley, and the crowning glory was the four statues of "Derby Worthies" by Horder : Florence Nightingale, John Lombe, William Hutton and Jedediah Strutt. In 1935 buildings on East Street were demolished and the store was extended in 1936-38, in matching style, by Percy James Bartlett of London. (2)
