History

Albert Rollit

In Hull in 1841, John Rollit, the son of a local cabinet-maker, became an Articled Clerk in the offices of local solicitor William Dryden at 2 Bowlalley Lane.

Later, having married Eliza Kaye, the daughter of the Builder of Huddersfield architect Joseph Kaye,[2] set up the law firm at 62 Whitefriargate in 1850.[3]

In the twentieth century and Rollits continued under the direction of John’s two sons Albert and Arthur. Thomas Farrell joined the firm in 1875, after a spell as a journalist for the Hull Morning News, but it was his son, Hugh, who put the family name on the name plate. Later he was joined by Dick Bladon who became a Partner on New Year’s Day 1934 when the firm became Rollit Farrell & Bladon.

In the 1970s the firm merged with Mainprize & Rignall,[4] and in the 1980s acquired Neville Hobson & Co.
