Photograph Collections: Peep into the Past

Dear Old Hanningtons!

A department store none of us will forget. This is one of the old doorways in East Street.

Tagged as: Central Brighton, Shops, The Lanes

Smith Hannington opened his first store at number 3 North Street in 1808 expanding to further premises in 1816 after receiving the Royal Warrant and an inheritance from his mother.

Hanningtons ceased trading in 2001.
