The Next Chapter in the City's Heritage Starts Here
THE NEXT CHAPTER IN THE CITY’S HERITAGE STARTS HERE Brick kilns at the Canberra Brickworks, 1926. National Archives of Australia: A3560, 167 Above: The quarry face at Canberra Brickworks 1920s. National Archives of Australia: A3560, 1145 Right: Patent for the Staffordshire kiln, 1956. National Archives of Australia: A2445, M8939B A VISION TO MAKE CANBERRA GREAT The Canberra Brickworks was established in 1913 and has played a significant role in the building of the nation’s capital. For its time, the infrastructure was leading technology, adapted from a design from England. The landmark Staffordshire kiln is now the last of its kind in Australia. The Canberra Brickworks closed several times when manufacturers were needed more urgently elsewhere. Production rates hit an all-time high in the 1950s as Canberra experienced its first population boom. By the mid-1970s, technology and housing trends had changed, new materials and modern techniques meant that the old brickworks was no longer needed and it closed in 1976. THE CITY’S FOUNDATIONS The enduring mark of the Canberra Brickworks is still evident today. Throughout inner Canberra the iconic red bricks, given their colour and parochial character by the clay used in surrounding quarries, feature in many homes and significant government buildings including Old Parliament House and Hotel Canberra (now the Hyatt Hotel Canberra). The quintessentially Canberran red brick homes line the streets of suburbs such as Reid, Ainslie and Campbell. When construction of Old Parliament House began in 1923, the project was so large that a rail system was established to transport bricks to the site.
