In the late 1940’s, after returning from War Service, Mr Peter Hart purchased the Pharmacy at 78 Goulburn Street, Crookwell and began trading as Peter Hart Pharmacy. Mr Hart continued to run the Pharmacy for over twenty years until his death in 1970. After his passing, his wife Mrs Alice Hart continued to own and work in the pharmacy, however she required a Pharmacist-in-charge. In 1971, having completed his Bachelor of Pharmacy a year prior, Mr Ken Wicks accepted this opportunity and moved to Crookwell from his home town of Temora, NSW. During this time Mrs Hart also decided to make a subtle change to the name of the Pharmacy, to its current title of Hart’s Pharmacy. Mrs Hart and Ken continued to work under this arrangement until early in 1985 when it came time for Mrs Hart to retire. At this time Ken purchased the business from Mrs Hart, and chose to maintain the current name of Hart’s Pharmacy for two reasons; Ken and his family enjoyed a close relationship with Mrs Hart and her children, and the Hart’s business had formed an important part of Crookwell’s history for over 40 years, and Ken wanted to respect this by honouring and maintaining this name.
