		Gordon Selfridge was born in 1858 in Ripon, Wisconsin, and in 1879 joined Field, Leiter and Company (later to become Marshall Field and Company), where he worked under the Chicago retailer of the same name.

		Selfridge envisioned the store as a safe, paternalistic, and all-caring mansion, in which he temporarily replaced the husband, father, or brother as protector.

		These are, in retail-speak, "anchored" by two titanic new branches of Selfridges and Debenhams, just as Brent Cross was anchored to its mooring alongside London Underground's Northern Line by two other great vessels of British retailing, John Lewis and Fenwicks, a quarter of a century ago.
		The new Selfridges store in Birmingham, although firmly anchored to the new-look Birmingham Bull Ring, proves to be not so much architecture-as-ocean-liner berthed alongside Moor Street station, but a vast cliff of a building, a computer-age geological outcrop, as distinctive and eye-catching as the white cliffs of Dover.
		Selfridges and Moor Street are two unexpected and brave anchors of architectural imagination in the overwhelming new retail port of central Birmingham.
