Library Special Collections Jenners Archives Library Special Collections Jenners Archives - Finding List This collection of advertising and promotional material by Jenners comprises of 18 volumes of scrapbooks, 4 boxes of material and one file, donated by Mr Dick in 1976. This listing was compiled by Jean Auld in 2011. History: Jenners was founded as a drapery business in 1838 by Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington and known as "Kennington & Jenner". Kennington retired in 1861 and the store became Charles Jenner and Co. in 1874. Jenner retired in 1881 and left the store to his junior partner James Kennedy. Kennedy and his descendents, the Douglas-Miller family, have been in charge of the business since 1881. Fire destroyed the original buildings in 1892 and in 1893 the Scottish architect William Hamilton Beattie was appointed to design the new store which subsequently opened in 1895. Jenners has held a Royal Warrant since 1911. In 2005 the Douglas-Miller family sold the business – the oldest independent department store in Scotland - to House of Fraser, but the name has been retained.

  • General Register House National Records of Scotland General Register House
    GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE ‘A PROPER REPOSITORY’ General Register House was begun in 1774 to the designs of Robert Adam (1728-1792), a Scot who was one of Britain’s greatest architects. It is not only one of his finest public buildings, but also the first purpose-built public record repository in the British Isles. In fact it may be the oldest archive building in the world that is still being used for its original function. A proper home for Scotland’s public records was first proposed in 1722, after the Treaty of Union of 1707 guaranteed that the national records would remain in Scotland. However, for much of the eighteenth century Scotland’s national archives were housed in unsuitable accommodation in Parliament House and other nearby buildings. Eventually, in 1765 a government grant of £12,000 was made available from the forfeited Jacobite estates for the building of ‘a proper repository’. The Register House Trustees only reached agreement on a site when the City gifted the necessary land at the north end of the new North Bridge in 1769. NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND ADAM’S DESIGN Largely through the influence of Lord Frederick Campbell, the Lord Clerk Register, Robert Adam and his younger brother James, were appointed architects of Register House in 1772. The Adam brothers believed that you could judge a society by the quality and grandeur of its public buildings, and this commission provided an opportunity to put their beliefs into practice. While the building’s design went through several stages, the main elements of the principal façade and the centralised plan, consisting of a domed rotunda within a quadrangle, were present from the beginning.

  • CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT Introduction the Princes Street Heritage Framework Study Area Comprises a Lo
    PRINCES STREET – CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT Introduction The Princes Street Heritage Framework study area comprises a long, section of the city centre extending along the full length of Princes Street, over a single city block and bounded by Rose Street to the north. The site lies within the New Town Conservation Area and the Edinburgh World Heritage Site. The site contains a substantial number of buildings included on the Statutory List of Buildings of Historic or Architectural Interest (14 Category A, 79 Category B, and 11 Category C). The purpose of the Heritage Framework was to better understand the features, details and planned form which give the area its historic character and identity, and to provide a context for its preservation, development and management. The study established the development sequence and form of the surviving James Craig plan, the individual historic structures and the townscape. A more detailed understanding and assessment of the character, quality and comparative cultural significance of individual buildings is now required as a prerequisite to making decisions about the future of the area. Cultural significance refers to the collection of values associated with a place which together identify why it is important. The Burra Charter suggests that ‘Cultural significance is embodied in the place itself, its fabric, setting, use, associations, meanings, records, related places and related objects’. Where decisions are being made about the future of historic buildings, their historic and architectural significance should be adequately assessed. This should form part of the master planning and design process, and the assessment undertaken at the earliest opportunity and before detailed proposals are drawn up for the regeneration.
