Re: The English Provincial Trade - Southern England
Pain Brothers / Pain's of Hastings
3 Nelson Rd. Hastings & "Presents House" Hastings, probably much earlier at 26 Githa Road Hastings
In the 1905 Kelly's Directory of Sussex, Part 2, we have Pain Brothers, 3 Nelson rd. Hastings as retail jewellers.
Entries were the same in the Kelly's 1911 & 1915 Directory of Sussex. The concern morphed into "Pain's, Present House, Hastings" selling a large range of goods including watches, rings and other jewellery, cutlery and electroplated ware. They also used illustrated catalogues and agents in their marketing. One catalogue, said to date from 1920, names the proprietor as W.T.Pain and established 31 years.
At least some of Pain Brothers electroplated tableware (spoons & fork seen), as well as having the name and Hastings on are further trademarked with "Mirror Silver". This is shown with the sugar tongs in the composite below.
The pocket watch dial has "True Briton" on together with the name and town. The back plate in that watch also has "Presents House Hastings" and "Pain Brothers" on to suggest "watchmaking" but in the trade directories I checked, they did not appear to be listed as watchmakers. There was another "True Briton" pocket watch on line, in a Chester case with the fairly obvious curly "A" date letter for 1901 (back plate not displayed). In fact a European based "Watchmaking Company of Bassecourt" had in 1901 recruited Pain Brothers of Hastings, as sellers of their watch movements. Subsequently I saw on line a "True Briton" in a "R" Chester silver case. A Lancashire Watch Co. case indicating "R" for 1900.
The "Presents House" on the back plate of my pictured watch, together with the box lid, pictured below, carrying the same address indicates the close association of Pains and Pain Brothers.
The Pain's catalogue mentioned earlier was 8 pages long and in addition to the "jewellery" items you would expect, it offered toys and "good horn gramophones with 6 free tunes and 200 needles £5 carriage paid".
So what about 26 Githa road? It is found in Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1899. There is a listing; Pain Brothers, publishers, 26 Githa road.
I found no "Pain Brothers" (or similar) entries in the Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1890 or 1891.
From a Dec 1947 news paper I found this death notice. "Died William Thomas Pain, founder of Pain’s Present House, Ltd., Hastings, in his 82nd year" (Hastings and St Leonards Observer)
Unexpectedly from an August 1947 newspaper another death notice. "at the age of 82, Mr. Henry Thomas Pain. of T. F. Pain Ltd., Printers and Publishers (Kentish Express)
A coincidence? Brothers Pain?

Pain Brothers / Pain's of Hastings .......Retailers of Jewellery and Gifts
"Presents House" Hastings
This is probably some novelty advertising packaging.
Another example of "Presents House" and Pain Brothers showing the close association with "Pains of Hastings". Sadly still no address for Presents House itself.
