Barker & Stonehouse

It's 1946 and the Second World War has just come to an end. But for two young RAF men, a new mission is about to take off. Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse set about creating a furniture store aimed at delivering a little pizzazz to a weary post-war Britain. Starting out in Stockton-On-Tees, the company soon opened a further store in Middlesbrough as it put down roots in and around the north-east. Newcastle followed and over the years new stores were established in Gateshead, Darlington, Hull, Knaresborough, Leeds and Nottingham.
