For the Leeds Public Spaces brief, I had decided to celebrate Marks & Spencer from how it originally began. Marks & Spencer a famous nationwide, British department shop that had gone from selling items for 1p to selling all sorts of items. The archive in Michael Marks Building at The University of Leeds holds the history of how Marks & Spencer started and it was inspiring to see how it went from being a small store, opened by an immigrant to a very British treasure. It was also inspiring to see how Michael Marks had advertised his stall in newspapers and how he hung up signs for the Penny Bazaar.
