50 YEARS IN HARDWARE Staines celebrated its first golden jubilee (50 years) in business in 2004. (1/4/2004) Senior directors of Staines & Brights Limited, Raymond and Bronwen Willis took over the ownership and operation of a small, but well established Ironmongers store from Mr Walter Staines upon the occasion of his retirement on April 1, 1954. The business, known for many years as W.Staines, was first established in Station Road Tiptree and subsequently relocated to its present position 81 Church Road, after being bombed in 1941. The Willis family quickly took up the challenge of expanding the business to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding village. The shop originally occupied the front rooms of their small bungalow. The domestic living area, to the rear of the building, and the garage were quickly converted into sales space. Today the store covers the whole area of the property with over 8,500 sq ft. of sales floor.
