About Brougham

Brougham is a community within the northern part of the City of Pickering, in Durham Region of Ontario, Canada. The Hamlet was expropriated by the federal government in 1972 for a future airport. There are concerns because some of its buildings are of architectural significance. There is one bus in the area; the 52 York University passes through with a stop at Brock Road. The population is about 150. The children go to school at Valley View Public School in its neighbouring town of Greenwood. It has slowly reduced in population and business as the 407 wound its way through in the early 2000s. It currently houses an Antique Restoration, Pickering Animal Shelter, Hot Tub Outlet and RV dealership, as well as a handful of historical buildings dating back to the Mackenzie Rebellion. There was a CC Gas Bar, which later became a Suny's Gas Bar near Brock Road and Highway 7. It was a high traffic gas bar, as most drivers traveling from Pickering to Toronto stopped there on their commute. In the past, the hamlet has been home for a Mac's Milk as well as a Family Run Hardware Store, a small restaurant as well as a small mechanic shop, most of which closed down in or around the time that the plans for the 407 development came to realization.
