John Jarrold set up the John Jarrold Trust in 1965. Since its establishment it has distributed over £3million, mostly to charitable causes in Norwich and Norfolk.
The fashion floor opened in 1965, including the glamorous Eye-Catcher boutique, followed by a record department the next year.
The retail business was greatly expanded in 1964 when Jarrold purchased the adjacent Corn Hall on the Exchange Street and Bedford Street frontage. The new building opened in 1965 with enlarged book and household departments and, for the first time, ladies clothing.
Fashion controller, Mrs Whitehouse, said of the new fashion floor in The Jarrold Magazine: "After years of being associated with fine printing, publishing, stationery, books, etc, it really is a big surprise for all to learn that we are launching into the world of fashion. 'This Fashion Lark', as one of the staff calls it, will bring you a touch of the glamour that emanates from Paris and London."
