In 1837 a Mr R.S Smith opened a small drapery shop in Bernard Street, Southampton. According to a 1933 edition of the Southampton Echo "he was a man of broad outlook who gave careful attention to detail". It is questionable whether he realised that the firm he set up all those years ago would still be in existence, let alone flourishing 170 years later!
Bradbeers operates from four main sites, in three towns on the south coast of England. We have department stores in New Milton and Romsey and two furniture stores, one in New Milton and one at Hedge End, Southampton. At 45,000 square feet, the Hedge End furniture store is the largest independent furniture shop on the south coast.
In addition, Bradbeers operates a Removals & Storage business out of Romsey as well as a furniture rental business.
Smith Bradbeer & Co are pleased to be associated with two popular markets held near our Romsey store.
