The painting below was commissioned in the 1950s. The artist, Van Jones, was asked to create a series of paintings showing the original M&S Penny Bazaars and this one is at Grainger Market in Newcastle upon Tyne. You can see the red and gold signage that later changed to green and gold.

The signs below were made in the 1950s as part of a replica Penny Bazaar stall. They show us how Michael Marks' signs might have looked.
