The Kagan Chess Collection

JOSEPH LORD KAGAN was born of Jewish parents, textile manufacturers in Lithuania in 1915. Having survived the Nazi persecution of the Jews during the 2nd World War he with his wife Margaret arrived in England and set up Kagan Textiles in 1951. He eventually made his fortune with Gannex, the fearsome fabric used by police forces and made popular by Prime Minister Harold Wilson with whom he became very friendly. His generous financial contributions to Wilson's office ensured his knighthood in 1970 and peerage in 1976. He fell from grace however when convicted of theft from his company in Elland in 1980, fined £325,000 and sentenced to ten months in prison.
He was always a keen chess player and his friends vied with each other to give him novelty sets for his collection. When he died in 1995, Lady Margaret moved from Fixby, Huddersfield where they had lived since 1965, and lived in Bradley until her death in 2011.
She donated the chess collection to Huddersfield Chess Club who are the current owners.
