“Little did William Mills know that in his bid to leave the dreary life that awaited him in England, his escape to Australia in 1887 would result in his meeting Henry Ware. Or that their enterprise, Mills & Ware Pty Ltd would become a household name. It's products second to none. Or that this enterprise would open the door to the people of Fremantle by offering work opportunities to both men and women, which had not existed previously.
