A lost Liverpool department store known for selling everything from furniture to clothes and crockery was "one of the best in town."
Businessman Owen Owen was born in 1847 at Cwmrhaeadr near Machynlleth and opened his first store, a draper’s shop, in London Road in 1868.
By 1873 had more than 120 employees, many from Wales, and years later saw his business grow into a national chain - and become an institution in Liverpool.
