The Story of the Rowntree Grocery Shop on Pavement

Bridget Morris, Director, The Rowntree Society, and Alison Sinclair, Architectural Historian

The lecture will tell the story of this important building where a plaque has recently been put up to commemorate the birthplace of Joseph Rowntree on the site. It will look at the life and work of generations of apprentices who served in the Rowntree grocery business in the nineteenth century and investigate how the architecture of the building was planned to fit its purpose.
