The Site of Brantford’s First Industry 180 Years of Invention and Transition 1844 – 2024
The site of Brantford’s City Hall has always been closely tied to both industry and public service. On June 24, 2024 the Canadian Industrial Heritage Centre (CIHC) gathered at Brantford City Hall with Mayor Kevin Davis to formally acknowledge the 180th Anniversary of the founding of Brantford’s first industry, following the arrival of Philip C. Van Brocklin. The CIHC has placed on public display at City Hall a set of fireplace andirons made in Van Brocklin’s foundry circa 1845.
