Our Story

From toyshop to
stewardship company

The Gamley's chain of toy shops was founded in 1919 by Bill Lord. Known as “the toyshop of the south,” there were 17 stores stretching from Eastbourne to Southampton.

The last retail outlet closed in early 2008 after almost 90 years of trading. But the brand's story didn't end there.

Since 2022, Gamley's Limited (company number 14321193) has painstakingly acquired the brand's intellectual property, including domains, trademarks, and digital assets, preserving a century of heritage for the future.
