1860 Staintons open for business at the Quadrant, Weybridge, a site used by Luxfords up until 1998.
   
1880 Luxfords commence trading as green grocers, later expanding into general haulage
   
1915 Staintons advertise their depository as "the only specially built furniture depository in the district" The building is fitted with every modern convenience, including electric light.
