  • Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D
    Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D. B. Waterson Received 27 September 1984 The pastoral, legal and political career of Joshua Thomas Bell niuminates certain aspects of Queensland in general and Darling Downs history in particular during a critical time in that region's evolution. When Bell first entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Northem Downs constituency of Dalby in 1893 (a seat which he was to retain until his death nineteen years later), the colony, society and landscape of the Downs were about to undergo their third major transformation since the coming of European pastoralists and the hesitant establishment of selector-based agri­ culture during the 1860s and 1870s. Bell's personal origins and subsequent career - he was bom in 1863 - thus spans two of the most significant phases in the European history of the region.' Bell, scion of an old-established Queensland pastoral family, now in the hands of the financially unstable Darling Downs & Westem Land Company and its overdraft master, the Queensland National Bank, entered ParUament at the time of the massive financial crash in Queensland. Yet the DarUng Downs was about to embark on a thorough reconstmction and expansion of its mral enterprises. Bell's period in Parliament saw a rapid increase in mral productivity and population on the Downs - more than in other parts of Queensland, including Brisbane - and an acceleration of Toowoomba's rise to prominence as the regional capital. The application of new tech­ nology, particularly in refrigeration and plant breeding, the inter­ vention of the State in distributing old pastoral freehold estates to Professor Duncan Waterson is Professor of History, School of History, Philosophy and Politics, Macquarie University, Sydney.

  • 2021 Land Valuations Overview Western Downs
    Land valuations overview: Western Downs Regional Council On 31 March 2021, the Valuer-General released land valuations for 17,760 properties with a total value of $4,403,967,344 in the Western Downs Regional Council area. The valuations reflect land values at 1 October 2020 and show that Western Downs region has increased by 21.6 per cent overall since the last valuation in 2019. Rural land values have generally increased moderately, except for around Wandoan where there have been significant increases, due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Residential land values in the townships of Dalby and Miles have generally remained unchanged, with moderate increases in Chinchilla, and moderate reductions within the towns of Tara and Wandoan. Commercial and industrial lands generally remain unchanged, except for some isolated changes along the Warrego Highway in Dalby.

  • General Register House National Records of Scotland General Register House
    GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND GENERAL REGISTER HOUSE ‘A PROPER REPOSITORY’ General Register House was begun in 1774 to the designs of Robert Adam (1728-1792), a Scot who was one of Britain’s greatest architects. It is not only one of his finest public buildings, but also the first purpose-built public record repository in the British Isles. In fact it may be the oldest archive building in the world that is still being used for its original function. A proper home for Scotland’s public records was first proposed in 1722, after the Treaty of Union of 1707 guaranteed that the national records would remain in Scotland. However, for much of the eighteenth century Scotland’s national archives were housed in unsuitable accommodation in Parliament House and other nearby buildings. Eventually, in 1765 a government grant of £12,000 was made available from the forfeited Jacobite estates for the building of ‘a proper repository’. The Register House Trustees only reached agreement on a site when the City gifted the necessary land at the north end of the new North Bridge in 1769. NATIONAL RECORDS OF SCOTLAND ADAM’S DESIGN Largely through the influence of Lord Frederick Campbell, the Lord Clerk Register, Robert Adam and his younger brother James, were appointed architects of Register House in 1772. The Adam brothers believed that you could judge a society by the quality and grandeur of its public buildings, and this commission provided an opportunity to put their beliefs into practice. While the building’s design went through several stages, the main elements of the principal façade and the centralised plan, consisting of a domed rotunda within a quadrangle, were present from the beginning.

  • The Statutory Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages
    The Statutory Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages from Jock Tamson’s bairns: a history of the records of the General Register Office for Scotland by Cecil Sinclair (Edinburgh, 2000) This publication is now out-of-print. Its aim was to describe the three main series of records held by the Registrar General for Scotland in New Register House in Edinburgh and to set them in their historical context. We are making the text from the chapters on the Old Parish Registers, statutory registers and census records available in portable document format (pdf) on this website. Each can be found in the further reading section of the relevant research guide. It is hoped that the content will be of interest to experienced genealogists and to a wide cross-section of the general public who value their personal and social heritage and wish to learn more about it. National Records of Scotland The Statutory Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages Contents We have made minor amendments to the original text to take account of the merger of the General Register Office for Scotland with the National Archives of Scotland to form the National Records of Scotland on 1 April 2011. We have also divided the chapter into the following sections: 1.

Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).
