Langman's Draper's shop at 88 High Road, Willesden was founded in the 1890s. When it closed in 1978 many of the shop fittings had remained unchanged since the day it opened. In 1908 Nancy Harrold joined the staff and with the retirement of the Langman sisters she took over the shop. Miss Harrold rarely threw anything away and when the shop closed much stock dating from the 1950s was still in its original packaging. The interior of the shop was moved largely intact to the then Grange Museum in the 1970s.
