George Arthur Dunn was a popular national menswear chain for over 100 years. Remnants of its distinctive shop windows can be seen in some of its former locations, including Ilford. Look closely and you will see four of the leaded windows remaining. Each one depicted the coat of arms of a town or city in which Dunn had established a store.Zee & Co's history is more recent but successful in its own right.
Founded in 1984 it has four stores covering Bow, Loughton, Islington and Ilford (their Maidstone store closed in 2017). In this episode, Dunn & Co is in its final throes of existence after receivers were called in 1996. In 1998, neighbour Deep Pan Pizza also disappeared with the owner stating that the UK palate preferred a thinner crust.
Shoe Crazy remained a shoe shop during the 2000s with Linzi Shoes, but they vacated circa 2010 when Speedy Cash Payday Loans entered the scene. The proliferation of such loans companies offering quick cash at exorbitant interest rates was curtailed when the UK government put a cap on the rate of interest chargeable for short-term loans to 0.8 per cent of the original amount borrowed per day. In February 2020, the vacated corner plot remains empty.
