Services
Since 1928, Brownbills are proud to have been providing expertise in eye care to all patients with a clear focus on patient care and individual service excellence.
We are proud to be an independent local optician, and according to the experts at consumer body Which?, our pride is well-founded.
In a comprehensive survey of UK opticians, independents topped the table with an average customer score of 87 per cent - significantly outperforming every national chain of opticians.
Relocating to Norwood Street in 2010, close to the centre of Ashford's historic town, Brownbills now occupies a detached 19th Century house, thought to be the first cavity wall building in Ashford and also home to previous occupants such as the town registry office (some of our current patients even got married in the same room that now houses our reception and waiting area).

The history of Brownbills goes back to the cinque port of Rye in Sussex where a gentleman by the name of Mr. Angus started his ophthalmic practice.
In the late 1920s he took the decision to move his business to Ashford.
Its new home was a 1860s 3 story building on the lower end of Bank Street, in the centre of the growing market town.
According to census records from the time, the building had previously been occupied by Mr Walter Prebble, a local butcher, along with his wife and three children aged 4-11 and Miss Fanny Bishop, their servant of the time.
