Cornelissen & Son 105A Great Russell Street, London WC1B 01 04 The fabric of Great Portland Street Great Portland Street has a rich and colourful history rooted in the textile trade, well-known for fashion and design for much of the twentieth century. Textiles arrived on the street in Victorian times, supplying fabric and inspiration to the West End stores.
