    Hi Lizzie, I think the original founder of the buisness was William Hill. The limited company known as WILL HILL (TAILORS) LIMITED took over an existing business at the Trinity Square address in 1947. There had been a tailors and outfitters based at this address with this name since at least 1922. The company at this time was at 2 Forman Street, Nottingham. There were three directors – Leslie, Douglas and Raymond Hill. Probably sons...?? My Great Uncle became an apprentice cutter with the firm in 1953 and kept the business name on after the Hills had all retired.

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone here remembers the tailors' shop on Pelham Street called Will Hill? The business used to be at Trinity Square before moving to Pelham Street, the company name went back to at least the 1920s. My Great Uncle Graham Rogers was the last remaining cutter/fitter and the last person to use the company name (I think). When the shop closed he continued to see clients who wanted new suits making at the workroom of Lee and Lewindon in Excise Chambers, which is now also closed. If anyone has memories of Graham, or of the shop, I would love to hear them! Laura
