Photograph of main block of Barkers department store, July 1959. (GUAS Ref: HF 51/8/1/1/3 photo 35. Copyright reserved.) Barkers of Kensington  
The House of Fraser announced the closure of its Barkers department store in Kensington in January 2006. This marks the end of more than a century of retail history but the store, and the people associated with it, will forever be remembered in the House of Fraser Group Archive held at the University of Glasgow.  This exhibition, first displayed on our old website, features a sample of images from the archive along with a history of the company.
