Synopsis

Dimmey's genesis can be traced to a small Richmond drapery opened by Joseph Britten in 1853. In the 1890s a Marlborough firm called Dimelow and Gaylard purchased Britten's business and soon became a leading Swan Street retailer. The firm was known affectionately as 'Dimrneys' - a nickname that eventually stuck.
