A local newspaper marked Harry's golden milestone in 1990 - 50 years of continuous pharmacy service in Tamworth, from wartime rationing to the NHS era.

"We had to bicycle to work each day and then in the evenings I had to bike to night school and back." - Harry Eason, 1990

Our story

Over 70 years of family pharmacy care.

This pharmacy has a unique history. Easons opened on Wilnecote High Street in 1953, founded by Harry Eason, a Derbyshire schoolboy who had cycled to night school to qualify as a chemist.

Over the decades the shop has stayed on the same street, run by the same family. From pigeon tonics and hand-mixed ointments to a 24 hour prescription locker and a full prescribing clinic, the tools have changed. The values have not.

Today the pharmacy is in the hands of the third generation. Kieran Eason, Harry's grandson, is honoured to continue the legacy his grandfather started, with the same goal the family has always had: trusted, personal care for the people of Tamworth.

Whether you knew Harry on the high street, or you call in today for a prescription, we are proud to keep your healthcare in the family.
