Abstract
Austins Department Store in Derry-Londonderry is reputed to be the oldest independent department store in the world. Austins was trading in Derry more than a decade before Harrods of London was built. Its presence in Derry predates the Famine. As a location, Austins has become part of the fabric of Derry-Londonderry. Generations of families have long-term associations with the store and it continues to form a significant part of the Derry-Londonderry experience for many people.
