Our story
THROUGH THE YEARS AT LANCASHIRE TEXSTYLES ESTABLISHED 1952
1952 – 1964 Back in 1952 the founder members, Bill and Ena Jones, were running a wholesale textile business in the north of England. By chance they visited Jersey on holiday and whilst there, they discovered a lock of supply of textiles as the Island was still recovering from the effects of World War II. They believed that this problem could be overcome as they had a great source of supply through their wholesale business. Even today, the sourcing, developing and exclusivity of any new products is still considered an essential and safely guarded secret. Soon after returning to England from their holiday they decided to move to Jersey and opened their first shop in Bath Street. It was no more than a corner shop, providing a good choice with great prices. This was to be a way of life until 1964 when Bill Jones was taken fatally ill.
1964 – 1976 It was at this point that their son, Peter was newly promoted to assist his mother in running the business. With Peter now firmly at the helm, the business enjoyed continued success with the growth of the tourist industry and the population boom of the ‘70s. They decided that it was the time to expand and purchased the old dairy directly behind the shop. This was then converted into one large store providing space not only for a larger choice of textiles but also furniture for the first time.
Due to the rapid expansion Audrey, Peter’s sister, also joined the business to take over the buying function which allowed their mother to take a less active role. Ena Jones finally retired in 1976.
