In 1876 he moved the business from Newton St Cyres to Union Road in Crediton, and was very well known for his practical jokes.

looking rather smug. “Surely it can’t be you, maister – you’m still in me cab!” exclaimed poor old Frank! After the First World War his son Bert joined the firm, and like his father, Bert was also a character with many people having fond memories of an old trinket or wash stand being knocked down to them for a shilling at one of his popular furniture auctions. Bert had no sons when he died in 1965, leaving his long standing business partner Alan Stoyle snr to take over the reins, together with his 2 sons John and Alan jnr, before his retirement in 1976. John and Alan took the business to a new level – they were extremely well known and highly respected in the town both renowned for their honesty and true professionalism. They moved premises several times in the 1970’s through to the 1990’s to accommodate the needs of the rapidly growing business, finally arriving at 117 High Street which is now known as the Creedy Centre.

In 1990 Alan’s son, Rob, joined Helmores, and he owns the firm together with his business partner Phil Morgan. In 2011 they moved again to even larger office premises at 111-112 High Street which Rob & Phil completely refurbished. William Helmore in 1860
Today, in addition to the sales team, they have New Homes, Land & Planning, and full Rental departments – all open 7 days a week. If he could see the firm today, we wonder what William Helmore have made of it all!
