The rise of the Greenwood family fortunes began in Bradford in the 1850s when Brian Greenwoods great-great-grandfather took up the trade of hatter, which was carried on by his son and then grandson, who expanded the business into a gentleman's outfitters. Shop! traces the fortunes and misfortunes of his descendants - most notably Brian Greenwood himself - through a hundred and fifty tumultuous years including two terrible wars, the devastating slump and depression of the inter war period, the height and the fall of the British Empire and that of the Greenwood empire too. The story has in it the stuff of a TV saga.
