Alfred Jordan Hollington

Alfred Jordan Hollington (1845 - 3 December 1926) was a businessman and politician.

The son of Thomas and Anne Hollington of Stepney, he was educated at the City of London School before he entered business as part of the partnership of Hollington Brothers, Wholesale Clothiers, based at Middlesex Street in the Aldgate area of the City of London. He was a member of the City of London Corporation and of two of the livery companies of the City, and was a justice of the peace and a deputy lieutenant.

When the Local Government Act 1888 created an elected London County Council, Hollington was adopted by the local Liberal and Radical Association to contest the two-member Mile End electoral division. When the elections were held in January 1889 he was elected along with his Progressive Party colleague Frederick Nicholas Charrington. The two were re-elected in 1892. In March 1893 Hollington became chairman of the county council's Improvement Comittee. In that capacity he attended the unveiling of the Shaftesbury Monument in Piccadilly Circus. He stood down from the council at the 1895 election.

Hollington moved to Clock House, Forty Hill, Enfield, where he indulged his enthususiasm for gardening. He was expert in orchid growing, producing a number of new varieties. He was also a breeder of horses and shorthorn cattle.

He died at his Enfield home in December 1926, aged 81.
