Meredew began in Islington in the nineteenth century, alongside Hard & Austin who supplied mirrors for overmantels and sideboards made by Daniel Meredew. Frederick Hard took over the Meredew cabinet-making business and, when he decided to expand, moved the firm to a purpose-built factory in Dunhams Lane, Letchworth in 1914. Hard was attracted by the ideals of the new Garden City and brought around fifty London families with him. The factory expanded over the years, employing 177 by 1938. John Hard, Frederick’s son, joined the firm as plant engineer in 1933, and like his father was concerned that the most up-to-date machinery was used in production rather than spending time on hand-work. During the war Meredew made panels for wooden gliders and also Utility bedroom furniture.
