John Martin's, author Paul Flavel

The doors to John Martin’s Department Store are open once more thanks to the stories from former staff and customers, rarely seen photographs. Author Paul Flavel’s impeccable research that all fill the pages of this book. It tells, for the very first time, the history of a beloved and iconic department store. Opened in 1866, John Martin’s flourished for over 130 years, until the unthinkable happened when the store closed in 1998. Flavel’s comprehensive and endearing John Martin’s, memories of riding in the lifts, dining in The Buttery, or getting ready on pageant day will take you back to a bygone era of retail in Adelaide. To connect with Paul .... https://www.johnmartinsbook.com/product/johnmartinsbook.com/1 https://www.instagram.com/rememberingjohnnies/ https://www.johnmartinsbook.com/
