Stained glass in Debenhams

Here is part of of the stained glass windows in Debenhams department store in Princes Street.

The building that Debenhams inhabits was built in 1884 as the Conservative Club. The exterior has a lot of careful detailing, but a key feature is the spectacular staircase with its ornate stained glass windows, now moved to the back of the store. In 1978 Debenhams extended to take in the building next door, and today you can still see an intriguing survival of its former grandeur. Hidden on the first floor amongst the clothes racks is the oak panelled Gladstone Library, a remnant of the Liberal Club which used to be on this site.

Who thought shopping was so interesting.

Anyway, new Agatha Christie Partners in Crime series with Tommy and Tuppence Betesford this evening, should be fun.

I hope you have all had a good Sunday and the weather has not been too rubbish where you are.
