In 1867, Bill Bramwell’s great-grandfather Eliot went into business with his brother-in-law Charlie Harbron, opening Bramwell and Harbron, a watchmaker’s and jeweller’s shop on Russell Street in Darlington.
Bramwells Jewellers has maintained a strong presence in the region ever since, welcoming countless customers to its shops in Darlington and Durham, where a second branch was established in 1912.
This watch was purchased here in this store on 6th November in 1965 for £52.10.
