Samuel West: Sons
built 640 days ago
As the son of Timothy West and Prunella Scales he comes from one of the country's best-loved acting families, and he has built up an impressive CV of his own. But it will still be a demanding task to follow Grandage, another actor-turned- director who will now concentrate on running the Donmar Warehouse in London.

In 1893 Samuel West started up a nursery of his own in New Headington, on the land now occupied by West’s Garden Centre and Norton Close. He built a house for his family at 74Windmill Road (now in the middle of West’s Garden Centre). The business became known as S.West & Sons when his sons Walter William (b.1872) and Frank Ernest (b.1880) joined him. Samuel West was still living at the house at the time of the 1901 census, with his wife, his daughter Amy, and his son Frank.

In 1861 young William (27) and Samuel (26) were both still unmarried and living at home, and they and their father are described as "gardener labourers". Then Samuel (after whom the present business was to be named) moved away from Headington: in the late 1860s he married Frances Dover (who had been born in Ickford, Buckinghamshire) at Thame, and their first three children were born in Cowley: Elizabeth (1869), Walter (1872), and Ann Emily (1875). They then moved much further away to Ingoldisthorpe in West Norfolk, where their youngest son Frank Ernest was born in 1880.
