I found an article that included Thornton-Varley on the Hull Daily Mail website:
“On the corner of Prospect Street and Brook Street the Thornton-Varley department store brought a touch of class to Hull city centre with its wide-ranging stocks. It began as a family business in 1870 and later became a branch of Debenhams in 1953 but, for some time after, retained its original name.”
