The centrepiece of Glasgow Corporation’s Coronation display in George Square was being completed in time for the Queen’s coronation. The Royal Arms were about 15ft high and weighed about a ton

BY 1982, Morris Furniture Group was just a couple of years short of its centenary.
Its success in that time had been handed down through the generations of the Morris family but success came early for the furniture makers. 
Within 10 years, the firm was kitting out the world’s most luxurious ocean liners which were built on the Clyde, with cinema seats, prestigious hotels and office products all created  by the company over the following years.
Work for the war effort kept it busy in the early 1940s and it has enjoyed Royal patronage, including designing furniture for the QE2 and the Queen’s home, just after she married, at Clarence House.
In 1990, it expanded into a 300,000sq ft factory in Castlemilk on Glasgow’s south side, and has since launched new ranges, while its charitable trust has helped build schoools and hospitals in the Third World.
It all seems a far cry from this transaction above, where a customer seems to be considering all the options before making his decision.
