Hi, I worked for Griffin and Spalding in 1971 which was featured in the Nottingham Evening Post when we changed to Decimal currency. Just phoned my sister who worked there in the 60's and married the doorman Richard his mother worked in the sewing room. Debenhams bought Griffin's about 1965 but didn't change the name til after 1971 as they thought people wouldn't what to shop there as a change of name would lower the profile of the shop. Cheers
