Eastland's Auctioneers
« on: October 08, 2011, 12:22:58 pm »
I can just about remember going with my Mother to William Eastland, the auctioneers that was in the building later used by Kwik Save in Bodhyryd Road.  I remember walking up rickety stairs but wonder why?  What was on the ground floor, anyone remember?....... I don't know why I think of these things!

Wilfred Eastland also had an estate agents at 5 Mostyn Street (with branches in Colwyn Bay and Rhyl) in the 60s and 70s.  This would be where the Nationwide Building Society is located now.

The firm of Jones & Redfearn is a continuation of two long established firms that amalgamated in October 1996. These two firms were Messrs. Wesley Haslam Estate Agents and Messrs. Eastlands Surveyors & Estate Agents, both of whom were highly regarded, locally based practices.

The firm of Eastlands was developed out of the local firm of Richard Pearce & Co. that was established in 1951. This firm was based around residential estate agency and the running of the local livestock market for the farming community. The firm expanded to have offices all along the North Wales Coast and was joined in 1967 by Mr. Wilfred Eastland who started Eastlands. The firm developed into commercial property matters and when Mr. Eastland’s son, John took over in 1983, its livestock side was sold off and residential and commercial became its specialisms. Based in its High Street premises since May 1978, the firm expanded and was joined by David Jones on his graduation from what is now John Moores University, in 1984. Sadly, in 1990 John Eastland passed away and David Jones became the Managing Partner of what was then a four office firm.

During 1996, the partners of these two respected firms held discussions over a possible amalgamation. Through these deliberations, it became obvious that an improved service would result to our clients and thus in October 1996, these two firms with over 177 years of service to clients between them, merged to form Jones & Redfearn.
