"The Jenners Story" - Produced in 1989 for Jenners Department Store, Edinburgh

A fascinating glimpse at Jenners Department Store in Edinburgh. Produced in 1989 the video also includes a brief illustrated history of the store since it's opening in 1837.
Until 2005 Jenners was the Worlds oldest independent department store.

This was made by Ian Rintoul, film-maker and manager of Jenners Toy dept for some years???

A very poignant video, about an essentially local business, serving local people, through the decades.
When a job in retail, was actually a smart career move, for generations of people.
The business apparently unable to move with the times, closed for good around the time of the first Corona Virus lockdown.
Sadly since 22nd January, Jenners building is just a hulk, after the devastating fire which tore through the landmark and took the life of Barry Martin, an Edinburgh Fireman. RIP.
Mr Charles Jenner and Mr Charles Kennington, founded their business in 1838, would I'm sure have been shocked to see their fine building in it's current state and uncertain future.

Sad that Jenner's is apparently not reopening for good after lockdown.
