EP Rose was a department store, based in the building that now houses Debenhams.<br />
<br />
The interview below is with Pauline Redman, who worked at the shop during the early 1950's. She remembers ironing underwear for models to wear in fashion shows the store held for select customers.<br />

Hockliffe's was a family run bookshop from around 1870 until the 1930's when the business was sold to WH Smith, however, even after 1930 the bookshop continued to trade under the Hockliffe name throughout the 20th Century.<br />
<br />
The Cecil Higgins Art Gallery & Bedford Museum is lucky to hold a letter from William Hale White to Frederick Hockliffe dated 1902.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi28jGFhcsGOISZvMt0-5g7-l3xlQSUfsWMDSibq1B12tbaUXngo-Um9wNJgclCZt7D0vphcSG82BYGPjknFnwWinmk1KT5e54mQEG5sSdkYT8vyjD_fWtzXANeNVLh1-ewRg7iYZi1I0/s1600/BEDFM+1999.391.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi28jGFhcsGOISZvMt0-5g7-l3xlQSUfsWMDSibq1B12tbaUXngo-Um9wNJgclCZt7D0vphcSG82BYGPjknFnwWinmk1KT5e54mQEG5sSdkYT8vyjD_fWtzXANeNVLh1-ewRg7iYZi1I0/s400/BEDFM+1999.391.jpg" width="280" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The letter begins with an enquiry about some plates that William Hale White planned to purchase, but goes on in an informal, (even gossipy) way 'I wonder who will be Dr. Brown's successor. A man of a different type from Hillyard (sp?) and Bull of Newport Pagnel, I suppose..'<br />
<br />
The letter gives an insight into the personal, and friendly service Hockliffe afforded his customers. William Halewhite is better known in Bedford as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hale_White">Mark Rutherford (1831 - 1913)</a> who was a writer. George Orwell 'described <i>Mark Rutherford's Deliverance</i> as 'one of the best novels written in English'<br />
<br />
Below is an interview with Mr Philip Hills, who worked at Hockliffe's during the 1950's an 60's. He began at the shop straight after leaving school. He describes how large the shop was at that time, with about 10 departments and 70 staff. <br />

<a href="http://home.btconnect.com/goldings.bedford/">Goldings</a> continues to fascinate shoppers with its remarkable range of household goods. It is one of only two High Street shops that have remained open, and family-run throughout the twentieth century (and into the twenty-first!)<br />
<br />
Did you know Goldings was the first commercial premises in Bedford to have gas central heating? Also, the shop originally had its own forge for making and mending metalwork.<br />
<br />
This interview is with Linda Warner who worked at Goldings for many years and is married to the current manager.<br />
