A Quick History of Stuart’s

Stuart’s has been a family business for over half a century, starting with our parents Charlie and Lou

1961 – Charlie and Lou Stuart started renting 57 North Cray Road as farmland

1977 – The land went up for sale and was bought by the Stuarts

1979/80 – We opened up our first shop to sell produce from the farm

1987 – Stuart’s Garden Centre was opened at 57 North Cray Road

1997 – We started the recycling business in the top field of the site

2010 – We rented out the Garden Centre and made the recycling business our main venture
