Founded in its current location in Yarm High Street in 1854 by wine and spirit merchant Oliver Strickland and John Holt, pharmacist and great-uncle of today’s owner. Sherry, port and claret was imported by Strickland & Holt via the River Tees for bottling, labelling and on from the store and as part of deliveries made as far and wide as Wensleydale to the south-west and Bilsdale to the south-east. The pharmacy side was eventually sold off to Boots.
