Cole Brothers was a department store located in Sheffield in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
[1][2] The Cole brothers John and Thomas opened a silk mercer and hosier at 4 Fargate, Sheffield in 1847.
[3][4] Their brother Skelton almost immediately joined them in the business which grew rapidly, purchasing stores along Fargate and round into Church Street.
The new store located in Barker's Pool, opposite the City Hall, was designed by Yorke Rosenberg Mardall.
The store again expanded in 1977 when a shop was purchased on Cambridge Street to host the business's toy and sports departments.
