This exhibition celebrates 150 years of T. Brooker & Sons, a long‑established Hitchin business that has become a familiar part of the town’s identity. Tracing the company’s story from its founding in 1876 to the present day, the display explores how a small hardware shop grew and adapted across generations of the same family.
Through photographs, documents and personal histories, visitors can discover the life of founder Thomas Brooker Senior, the early years of the shop, and its expansion to multiple locations in Hitchin and nearby Letchworth Garden City.
