Oval Black and White Portrait of Elsie Russell, Founder of Elsie Russell florist, Shipley, West Yorkshire

1954 was a great year for flowers. It was the year that my mother and father scraped together enough money to open the store. Although my family have been involved with flowers for over a hundred years this was a new venture and Shipley was about to see the start of a store that would bring the finest flower arranging techniques the world had to offer.

55 years later and our passion for flowers is greater than ever.
