Abstract:		 Many Leicester people will remember the Briggs Shoes shop that was situated on Granby Street (Fig. 1) for many years until it closed in 2009, the final decade under new ownership. Few will know that Briggs had opened a shop on the street as early as 1880. This story describes the challenges and achievements of a business that remained under the control of the same family for 150 years. It started in a very small way and gradually developed until it became a well-known local business that played an important part in the development of the Leicester shoe industry. As is often the case with business records, there are gaps in the information available. The early ledgers, starting from 1863, are very basic and in some cases have been difficult to interpret.
