Lumbers is proud to be part of Leicester’s exceptional history and heritage. Established in 1881, Lumbers has been at the heart of Leicester’s success for almost 140 years. The founder, John Lumbers, opened the first store on Loseby Lane, until 1910, when his son, also John, moved the shop to Granby Street. The business was bought by Horace Gomersall in 1918. In 1962, his son, Tony Gomersall, took charge, and moved premises again to 31 Market Street in 1970.
