Francis Tillstone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis John Tillstone (c. 1830 - fl. 1904) was a long-serving civic official in the town of Brighton, in England.

Tillstone was an officer of Brighton Borough Council (now Brighton & Hove City Council) for 49 years from 1855 to 1904, serving from 1881-1904 as Town Clerk (the chief officer of the council).[1]

A plaque in his memory is situated outside the Council Chamber in Brighton Town Hall, and Tillstone Street near Queen's Park is named in his honour.
