Hanningtons
Hanningtons was a department store located in Brighton, part of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Prominently situated in a central position in Brighton, it had an unbroken history of trading for nearly 200 years until its closure in 2001. It was the city's oldest, largest and most diverse department store: its 70 departments〔 offered clothes and household goods of all types, and services ranging from funeral arrangement to carpet-cleaning. "Famous" and "prestigious", it was known locally as the "Harrods of Brighton".〔 It remained in family ownership until the 1960s, and subsequent owners ran the business according to the principles of the Hannington family.
Hanningtons grew from a single shop on the town's North Street into a large store spanning numerous shop units on that road and neighbouring streets. Some services were housed in other buildings elsewhere in Brighton and Hove. Regular expansion meant many changes to the main building, but its overall architectural style dates from the 1860s when architect William Russell unified the shop units owned by Hanningtons at that time into a common style. Part of the former store—the section at numbers 41 and 42 East Street, acquired in 1882—is listed at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
==Hannington family==
The Hannington name has a long history in the Brighton, Hove and Shoreham-by-Sea area. Thomas Hannington of Southwick was recorded in the Portslade Manor Court Book of 1706; a John Hannington was living in Portslade in 1719; and his father (also John) was buried at St Nicolas Church, Portslade in 1739. Later in the 18th century, Charles Hannington of Shoreham-by-Sea, "known as a man of superhuman strength", married Mary Mepham and had three sons. Charles Mepham Hannington was born in 1774 and qualified as a solicitor; Henry Hannington died in 1781 aged five; and Smith Hannington (born in 1784) became a draper's apprentice in Brighton in about 1798. He worked long hours and quickly learnt about the drapery business.
