These memories tell a unique story of M&S through the eyes of our customers and employees
My mum looks great in the 50s inspired 125 dress - now I know what she looked like when she was young!
My earliest memory of Marks & Sparks is going shopping with my mum and younger sister to buy new pants, socks and an outfit for Whitsuntide. On Whit Sunday we would dress in our new clothes and parade amongst family.

Been out in the wind and rain today using my trusty old umbrella from M&S! Have only had this one for 45 years! My Mum bought it for me because it had an unusual shaped handle that I couldn't hang on the back of the seat on the bus home from school - I'd lost umpteen umbrellas in this way before!

Going to the stall in the Grainger Market in Newcastle, the first of M&S if I remember right, it was called a penny stall.

My first memory was going to the penny bazaar in Newcastle upon Tyne.

My earliest memory of M&S was my nan telling me stories of when as a little girl herself they used to shop when it was called 1d bazzar! I am now 64 years old. Then, when I started shopping in Marks & Spencer it was before self service, and each department had it's very own counter. Priceless!!!!!

I remember the original Marks & Spencer. To me it was a magic cave. I can't remember any doors. It opened straight onto the street. I suppose it would have been wooden shutters. It was an enchanted dawdle.
