Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
D.H. Evans, general drapers and silk mercers, were established at 320 Oxford Street in 1879. Dan Harries Evans, the son of a farmer from Llanelly, moved there from a small draper's shop in Westminster Bridge Road. His wife, helped by other family members, did the dressmaking and the store specialised in fashionable lace goods. In 1937 a new store was built at 318 Oxford Street to the designs of Louis Blanc.
