Fagg's Mitre 10

The founders, Samuel Fagg (a clerk) and William Fagg (a carpenter) emigrated to Australia from Deal in England in 1852 during the Ballarat Gold Rush. The business began in 1854 when the brothers went into business as Ironmongers & Builders on the corner of Pakington Street and Russell Street, Newtown (on the site where the Brax Blinds business now stands). The origins of the company are in timber and building supplies but hardware and garden have also become a key part of our business offer.
