New Exhibition 'From Underwear to Hardware'
The exhibition is about the fondly remembered Hordern's department store, which operated on the corner of George and Fitzgerald Streets, Windsor from 1962 to 1998.
Proprietors Hunter and Ross Hordern were the great grandsons of Anthony Hordern, the founder in 1825 of Anthony Hordern & Sons, which at its peak in the early twentieth century employed 1200 people, served 30,000 customers a day and operated the largest department store in the southern hemisphere. It died an ignominious death in 1970, but by then Hunter and Ross had set up their own store in Windsor, where they sold hardware, manchester, haberdashery and clothing, as well as power boating accessories to cater for the water-skiing crowd.
Things like ledger books, display cases, manikins, signage and cash registers, as well as remnants of the original cash flying fox system will be on display.
Older visitors
may enjoy re-visiting what was once a landmark in Windsor's shopping centre, while younger visitors may be surprised to see how retailing has changed over the years.
