Willsons Ladies Outfitters

1933 Willsons Ladies Outfitters. 72-73, Castle Street, Bristol

This business was established in 1933 in Castle Street, one of the principal city centre shopping streets of pre-war Bristol. By the end of the decade, Willsons had modernised their facade with a cleaner Art Deco style frontage than the one recorded here.

The windows are covered with posters advertising a fashion competition organised by the Evening World newspaper, which was printed in Bristol from 1929 to 1962.
