Jacksons

Leicester 1938
The shop was started in 1938 when George Jackson opened a Shoe Repairers in Front Street, Birstall, Leicester.
It is believed the shop closed for a short while during the war years.

After the war George started making sandals from plastic strips with wooden wedge heels, in pretty colours, which were popular after the dull days of the war.

And then in 1947 a shop was opened in Conduit Street, Leicester.

Later opening a larger shop also in Conduit Street.

Around this time George also began selling Wide Fitting Glace Kid Shoes.

The retail side of the business continued to grow and was expanded into family footwear, including the famous Tuf brand.


It was during the 20+ years here that George Senior was joined by other family members.

George’s son George Junior and his wife Jill, opened a shop in Narbrough Road, Leicester in the late 1960's, this closed in the mid 1980's.

Another shop was opened in Cavendish Road, Leicester and was ran by George’s Wife Kate, This was later taken over by their daughter Mavis and her husband Ken.
King's Lynn 1972
July 1st 1972 saw the opening of the King’s Lynn Shop in Chapel Street, by now George and Kate Jackson had completely retired, so the business was run solely by Mavis and Ken. By offering the same friendly service and value for money it was as popular in Norfolk as it was in Leicester.
Hunstanton 1983
In 1983, Jackson’s moved to it’s present location in Hunstanton, Norfolk, as it was felt we had outgrown the King’s Lynn shop. The business continued to thrive.

The business was still run by Mavis and Ken and other members of the family and in 1984 they were joined by Susanne.

In 1997 Jacksons celebrated it's Golden and Silver Anniversary in one year.
50 years in Business, 25 of them in Norfolk.

In 1998, after 40 yrs in the business without having a full weeks holiday, Mavis and Ken decided to retire. Their daughters Dawn (Me) and Debbie then took over the business.
