John Prichard-Jones

Sir John Prichard-Jones, 1st Baronet (31 May 1841 – 17 October 1917) was a self-made Welsh business man of the Victorian and Edwardian era.

There he was successively promoted to buyer, manager, director, chairman of the board and finally to partner, when the store's name was changed to Dickins & Jones.

He played a prominent role in movements advocating for the promotion of workers' welfare, as well as supporting profit-sharing schemes for his employees.

Additionally, he served as the Treasurer of the Welsh National Museum and was a member of the Council of the North Wales University College at Bangor.

Also on the site were cottages made available to local elderly people, subject to certain criteria, who would also be paid a pension from a fund established by Sir John Prichard-Jones.
