I found this address in the 'Leeds Mercury' dated 28th March 1938: “... shop to be opened shortly at the corner of Well Lane and Commercial Street by J. W. Thornes, Ltd., of Dewsbury.” ... and this address in the 'Yorkshire Post & Leeds Intelligencer' dated 5th January 1940: “J. W. Thornes, Ltd., Murphy Dealers, 6, Westgate, Dewsbury.” ... plus this piece in the 'Dewsbury Reporter' dated 22nd May 1992: “DIAMOND YEARS WITH THORNES. In 1924 a young man, James W. Thornes, opened a small shop in Halifax Road, Dewsbury. This was the first step in the establishment of James W. Thornes Ltd. Today, 60 years later, from these small beginnings has grown one of the best known independent television, radio and home entertainment retailers in the West Riding with a large central shop and workshop in Dewsbury and a further branch in Batley employing over 30 staff.”
