Craftsman opened in West Mills in the early 1960's as an art gallery run by Bernard Rose. In the early 70's the business moved to 61 Bartholomew St. by Blackboys Bridge and continued to trade as a gallery but added framing and crafts. Bernard was eventually joined by Peter Pope and then Peter's twin brother the late Alan Pope.
When Bernard retired and the lease on the premises ended the business moved to its present site at 43a/b Bartholomew St. The business continued in the same form but without the craft aspect, the major part being framing. Early in 2000 the brothers decided retirement was a nice idea and put the business on the market.
