Hopestill Roots

[Jill]

Hopestill and her son John continued her late husband's business together until 1831 when there was a notice in the Sussex Advertiser announcing the dissolution of their partership and that John was to continue alone.

Thanks to the a gentleman from the Lindfield History Project who has sent me a map I now know that the shop was on the corner of the High Street and Hickmans Lane, where a womens clothing shop called Doodie Stark now stands, they had other another building on the plot next door though the modern building is of a later date. I used to go in when it was an antique shop.
