Cavendish House is more than just a building; it is a survivor. Established in 1823 by Thomas Alder, it predates many of the world's most famous department stores. It began as a drapery business and quickly expanded, eventually taking over a large portion of The Promenade.
By the time this postcard was printed, Cavendish House had become a symbol of Cheltenham’s Regency elegance and upper-middle-class aspiration. It was the place where you went for your "Sunday best," where the perfume counter was an olfactory wonderland, and where the service was, quite literally, silver-spooned.
"Cavendish House, The Promenade, Cheltenham. One of England’s finest stores." — Postcard Caption
