Dingles actually is on parade for really royal service although not anymore. The well loved department store situated on Royal Parade in Plymouth in Devon trades as House of Fraser but Plymothians still call this important corner of the town Dingles. Edward Dingle opened a drapery in 1880 and gradually built up the business by buying up properties and in 1935 bought out the gentleman’s outfitters W J Vickery & Co Ltd with brothers Ralph and Stanley joining the Dingles Board.
