STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSERVATION REPORT ROYAL HOTEL, HARTLEY 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 STUDY BRIEF The brief for this Study required the preparation of a Statement of Significance for the Royal Hotel at Hartley Historic Site and the identification of constraints arising from that Statement. As part of the above the brief required: a review of the existing documentary evidence additional minor historical research an assessment of the physical evidence an analysis of th~ documentary and physical evidence the preparation of a Statement of Significance the identification of constraints arising from the Statement of Significance (including guidelines for future development as an addition or adjunct to the existing buildings.) the identification of essential works to provide stabilisation. A copy of the full brief, as provided by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (N.P.W.S.), has been included as Appendix A. 1.2 AIM OF THE REPORT Hartley Historic Site, which includes The Royal, is now under the care and control of National Parks and Wildlife Service. It is the Service's intention to call for expressions of interest for the future use of The Royal, with emphasis on commercial/residential/restaurant type usage, similar to its previous function. The purpose of the Brief is to provide researched documentation to guide the Service in seeking these expressions of interest. 1.3 STUDY AREA The Royal Hotel is located on lots 3 and 4 of Section 14 in the" J Township of Hartley. In" 1853 the Hotel site also included lots"5 and 7, and from 1858 to 1969 lots 3 to 8 were combined under the one title. Early dJvelopment associated with the hotel is ther.efore likely to have been located on lots 3,4,5 and 7, but later development may have taken place on lots 6 and 8. For the purpose of this report the Study Area has therefore been taken to include lots 3 to 8 of Section 14 in the Township of Hartley. (See Figure 1.1) 2. Figure 1.1 Site Plan showing the new alignment of the Great Western Highway and the original layout of Lots 3 - 8, Section 14, in the Township of Hartley. 3. Old West ern Road SITE PLAN 1,500 cpprox.. Fig. ;1-.:1 A~ust 1987. \ \ 4. 1.4 'METHODOLOGY This report follows the general structure as set out in following documents: • , Australia ICOMOS Charter for the Conservation of Places of Cultural Significance (The Burra Charter), 1981. Guidelines to the Burra Charter: Cultural Significance, 1984. Guidelines to the Burra Charter: Conservation Policy, 1985. - Kerr J.S. The Conservation Plan, National Trust of Australia (N.S.W.), 1985. 1.5 TERMS The terms place, preservation, 'reconstruction, restoration, adaption, and conservation used throughout this report have the meaning given them in the ICOMOS 'Burra Charter'. N.B.: Restoration has a limited meaning as follows: II returning the EXISTING fabric of a place to a known earlier state by removing accretions or by reassembling existing components without the introduction of new material. 1I 1.6 LIMITATIONS In accordance with the brief only minor historical research has been undertaken to supplement that already included within the National Parks and Wildlife Service file on the Royal Hotel and the Hqrtley Historic Siti. This has meant that some questions about the history of the site have remained un-answered and these have been outlined in Section 4.2. In addition to the above it has not been possible within the budgetary constraints of the study to include an archaeological assessment of the site and accordingly the potential for archaeological remains has not been fully determined. In terms of the recommendations for essent1~1 stabilisation works a visual inspection has been undertaken by the consultants, but t~e site has n~t peen inspected by a structural engineer. Physical investigation was limited to two days. No physical intervention:has been undertaken. Areas which 'are considered to be worthy of further investigation are outlined in 'Section 4.3 1.7 AUTHOR IDENTIFICATION This report was prepared and written by Robert Brown of Dawson Brown Partnership and Annette Green, Heritage Consultant. Illustrations were prepared by Diana Lorentz of Dawson Brown Partnership P/L. '. 5. 2.0 DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE 2.1 INTRODUCTION In accordance with the Brief the documentary research has been based on a review of the historicaJ documentation held by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS),' plus minor additional research as required to provide a clear overview of the history of the site. The major part of the documentary research therefore entailed a review of the NPWS files provided to the consultants by the Cultural Resources Unit and by officers at the Hartley Historic Site. In addition to the above the following sources were investigated to i'dentify any other relevant information : Land Titles Office (land ownership records); State Archives, Land Titles Office and Department of Lands (historical maps); General Reference and Mitchell Libraries, State Library of NSW, and the Department of Education, History unit (secondary sources catalogued under IHartley'); State Archives and Mitchell Library (hotel and wine license records); Newspaper Reading Room, State Library (local and state newspapers dating from the time of early land sales). The history of the site has been summarised in the following section and a fully referenced chronological history has been included as Appendix B. In addition to this, a summary of the hotels which are known to have operated in Hartley has been included as Appendix C. 2.2 SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE The Western Road was constructed between Sydney and Bathurst in 1814-15, but the Government soon placed restrictions on travel along this route in an attempt to control settlement in the new western districts. Travel restrictions continued to be enforced throughout the 1820s and during this period little road-side development took place along the, Western Road. The 1830s saw an easing of these restrictions under Governor Bourke and as travellers over the mountains increased in number, so did the number of' inns which were developed to accomodat~ them. In about 1830, Major Thomas Mitchell proposed a new line for the western descent-from the Blue Mountains via the pass of Mount Victoria and set aside an area of approximately 259 hectares at the crossing of the River Lett for the purpose of a government town. At about the same time 1.2 hectares of ·Jand was granted to Pierce Collits at the river crossing and l Hartley's first hotel 'The Royal Garter , was subsequently erected on this site. From this time on at least one hotel was licensed within the town for each year- until 1895 (See Appendix C.) Governor ~ourke approved the laying out of a village in this location in 1836, and the Deputy Surveyor-General, S.A.

    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc March-April 2016 ISSUE 43 ISSN 2203-4366 Photographers – through their eyes There is a particular group of people to whom we, as people/organisations interested in our history, owe a huge dept. That is - the photographer. Be it the official or professional or private photographer, they provide us with pictures of both ourselves and our nation, at specific points in time. Their work is a historical record, showing the meaning and intensity of life at the time, and the current social dynamics that accompany them. The Macquarie Dictionary (1995) defines a photographer as a person who carries out “the art of producing images of objects on sensitized surfaces by the chemical action of light or of other forms of radiant energy, as x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays etc”. Obviously today in a more modern definition, this would be expanded to include digital experiences. However, for the recording of historical subjects, this former definition would ring true. Many photographers in the 19th and 20th centuries sought to celebrate the communities of people who work to lay the foundations of the country, to record specific events, covering both individual stories, and town and rural life. Incline, Kembla Coal, King Katoomba clouds, Phillips Chinese wool wasking, Kerry When we look at a photo, what are we looking at? Many photos bring us back again and again, and we see something different every time. The photographer may have sought to depict a particular event, person, but inadvertently has recorded a variety of other material, such as fashions and tools, landscapes and buildings, cultures and social customs, techniques and trades.

  • Blue Mountains
    © Lonely Planet Publications 106 www.lonelyplanet.com 107 Around Sydney Sydney’s suburbs spread over a broad coastal plain like spilt honey, hemmed in by rugged country on three sides and the Pacific Ocean on the other. The area sustains Australia’s larg- est concentration of people, the urban melange thinning as the kilometres stretch inland. AROUND SYDNEY Beyond the city, bushwalking tracks, cycling paths, scenic train routes and roads connect a small-town smorgasbord, interspersed with gorgeous waterways, uncrowded beaches and magical national parks. The proximity of these delights to Sydney means that public transport is often a viable option – you can cover a lot of ground on day trips, with or without your own wheels. To the west, the wooded foothills of the Great Dividing Range rise to the lofty Blue Mountains, with their heaven-sent scenery and quirky villages. To the south, Royal National Park harbours lost-to-the-world beaches, rainforest pockets and precipitous cliff-scapes. Inland, fertile soils support the rural settlements of Macarthur Country and historic Macquarie towns, extending south to the dignified Southern Highlands. Occupying a hefty chunk of Sydney’s north, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park’s dense bush- land and sandstone outcrops are cut by shimmering inlets. Further north, the landscape is defined by the meandering brown snake of the Hawkesbury River, with its ferry crossings, oyster farms and sleepy towns. Beyond here are the inland lakes and surf-centric communi- ties of the Central Coast. HIGHLIGHTS Hole up

  • Hartley Valley Safety Upgrade Appendix D
    63 Figure 6.11: Proposed batters on the northern side of the highway, near the Log Cabin shop. SKM Coxs River Road and Ambermere Drive Intersection Redesign The Coxs River Road/Ambermere Drive intersection is where the most substantial changes will occur along this part of the highway. The main works proposed are the movement of the junction of Coxs River Road with the highway, some 50 metres to the east (Figure 6.12). This allows for more roadway space between the eastern boundary of the Harp of Erin and Coxs River Road, facilitating the viewing corridor for drivers when turning from it into the highway. It is estimated that the proposed new alignment for Coxs River Road would be at grade, because the landform south of the highway is mostly at the same level. It does, however, fall slightly to the east, so a small batter is required which will raise the ground to the same as the final road level. Figure 6.12 and Figure 6.14 show in more detail the actual extent of cut and fill that would be required to support the realignment of Coxs River Road. The fill required at the northern end, where the junction with the highway occurs, is necessary because of the fall of the land. The cut required at the southern end is needed because of a small ridge. These elements are indicated in the longitudinal section (Figure 6.14). While the raising of the road in this area could change the nature of the Conservation Area these changes are considered to be quite minor.

The Trust understands that this includes the strategic corridor upgrade proposed between Katoomba and Mount Victoria and the corridor reserved in 2013 between Mount Victoria and Lithgow. The Trust must initially lodge its strong objection to the minimal time frame (comments ending on 16 December) for public input on such a huge project with the potential to impact on people’s lives and the unique heritage and environment of the Blue Mountains. The design of the Great Western Highway Upgrade Program strategic corridor map, effectively upside down, with south to the top of the map, made it very difficult to interpret the impacts of the various highway diversions. Major re-routings of the highway which appeared to be southwards were actually to the north and vice-versa. Climate change is contributing to extended drought, more intense and frequent bushfires and smoke levels twelve times hazardous levels, as scientists have warned for decades. Now is not the time to be proposing major expressway expansions when alternate more friendly environment and climate options such as rail transport are available.

  • Mt Victoria to Lithgow
    Mount Victoria to Lithgow Great Western Highway Upgrade Strategic review of a Newnes Plateau corridor With regard to general pollution and contaminated land, the study area varies in quality depending on proximity to residential areas. The predominantly forested areas of the Newnes Plateau are comparatively of good quality. However, some detrimental impacts have occurred as a result of recreational vehicle use (eg four wheel-driving) through State Forest, historical mining activities, and historical Australian Defence Force operations. A review of the New South Wales topographic map series (1991) did not indicate any obvious potential point sources of contamination. However, consultation with several stakeholders indicated that there are known flows of zinc resulting from abandoned mining practices east of the Darling Causeway and allegations of discharges from existing extractive industries and mining operations. A search of the Department of Environment and Climate Change Contaminated Land Register revealed the presence of three sites that have been issued Contamination Notices under the Contaminated Lands Act, 1997 ). The sites included: Hartley Vale Former Shale Oil Refinery – Hartley Vale Road, Hartley Vale. ADI Lithgow Small Armaments - Methven Street, Lithgow. Blue Circle Southern Cement – Williwa Street, Portland. It is considered unlikely that any of these known contaminated land issues would constrain corridors through the study area. 9.3 HERITAGE ENVIRONMENT 9.3.1 Aboriginal heritage Aboriginal cultural heritage consists of places and objects that are of significance to Aboriginal people because of their traditions, observances, customs, beliefs and history. Aboriginal cultural heritage is dynamic and may comprise physical (or tangible) or non-physical (non- tangible) elements.
