Self-Guided Newcastle Historical Tour Welcome to Newcastle In 1834, the village was known as Crandell’s Corners and shortly after the area fronting onto Lake Ontario was called Bond Head. In 1851, these two communities became one, named Newcastle. In 1856, it was officially incorporated as a Village. In 1974, the Village became part of the Town of Newcastle (later called the Municipality of Clarington). NORTH Newcastle has always been very proud of its history. Since 1963, there have been five STREET NORTH MILL STREET NORTH Provincial Heritage Plaques erected in the villlage and immediate area.

  • Massey Family of Agricultural Implement Fame World Dominance Beginning in Grafton
    THE MASSEY FAMILY OF AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT FAME WORLD DOMINANCE BEGINNING IN GRAFTON Daniel Massey Jr was four years old when his father, Daniel, and mother, Rebecca (Kelly) moved from Vermont to Grafton, Ontario in 1802. He was just fourteen when the war of 1812 began, his father and two older brothers left home to join the Upper Canadian militia, and Daniel was left in charge of the family farm. In this new role Daniel honed his skills, learned blacksmithing and would often repair the farm machinery. In 1820, he married his childhood sweetheart, Lucina Bradley, and began their family of ten. In 1830, while visiting relatives in Watertown, New York, Daniel was thrilled by a mechanical thresher. He had it disassembled and shipped to his farm in Haldimand Township. Now eleven men could accomplish what had previously taken twenty farm hands with flails! Daniel studied this machine and made its replacement parts. He was making other tools and implements for neighbouring farmers as well. In 1844, he turned over the farm operation to his son Hart (1823-1896) so he could devote more time to working on machinery. A small foundry and blacksmithing shop, just south of Newcastle, at the harbour called Bond Head, had closed. Convinced of his ability to manufacture agricultural machinery, Daniel moved the younger members of his family to this location in 1847. Two years later he was employing 10 people at his Newcastle Foundry and Manufactory. One of Daniel's early products was a stump remover that used torque to twist stumps out of the ground.

  • 21 Properties Easement
    REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: 915 KING STREET WEST ATTACHMENT NO. 12B Massey-Harris Office Building Description The property at 915 King Street West is worthy of designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value or interest, and meets the criteria for municipal designation prescribed by the Province of Ontario under the three categories of design, historical and contextual value. Located on the south side of King Street West, west of Strachan Avenue, the building was constructed as the administrative offices for the Massey Manufacturing Company, with additions after the firm became known as Massey-Harris Limited. Historical records indicate that a two-storey building was completed at the north end of the site in 1885, with the third floor and a three-storey south wing added in two stages before World War I. The property was listed on the inaugural City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in June 1973, and a Heritage Easement Agreement was registered in 1989. The Massey-Harris Office Building has been converted into a residential condominium. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value The Massey-Harris Office Building is a representative example of a late 19th century commercial building that was constructed in stages, with the different sections united stylistically by the application of Classical details. Of particular importance are the series of bay windows on the original (north) building, and the sculptural detailing above the main (east) entrance and on the large (north) pediment. Historically, the property is associated with the Massey family and its manufacturing conglomerate. The company’s origins date to 1851 when Hart A.

  • Annual Report 2010
    annual report 2010 new lives start here... more than a century of service and support It was the year Queen Victoria died; U.S. President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist in Buffalo, New York; the Commonwealth of Australia was established; Gillette patented the world’s first disposable razor; the Winnipeg Victorias won the Stanley Cup; and American Anna Taylor became the first woman to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. It was 1901, and The Door of Hope – funded through the generosity of the Massey family – opened in Toronto to provide refuge and support to young unmarried pregnant women. More than a century later, The Massey Centre for Women continues that proud tradition with the support of the United Church of Canada and individual, corporate, foundation, and association partners in the larger community. We continue to provide support for pregnant and parenting teens and single mothers through provision of specialized services including: residential care; supportive housing; life skills training; secondary school education; employment programs; health services; infant care; recreational activities; and emotional support. As society’s attitudes toward unmarried mothers and their children have changed, so have the services – and the manner in which they are delivered – provided by Massey Centre. To facilitate these changes, the Massey Centre incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization in November 1989 and became an accredited Children’s Mental Health Centre in 2002. The young women who come to the Massey Centre in 2010 are vastly different from those who came in 1901 – they have more complex mental health and emotional issues, and are more likely to come from backgrounds of abuse, neglect, and poverty.

The Chair then delivered the following remarks: The 2019-20 academic year is one that will definitely occupy a unique place in Massey’s history. We welcomed a new principal; we celebrated with the campus the centennial of the iconic Massey Family benefaction – Hart House – and we encountered COVID 19 the virus that has reshaped our world and our community. We have acquired a whole new lexicon on one side”covidiots” and “virus rebels” - and on the other caremongering and communitarism.

    THE MASSEYS/FOUNDING FAMILY MOLLIE GILLEN THE MASSEYS FOUNDING FAMILY THE RYERSON PRESS TORONTO @ THE RYERSON PRESS, 1965 PRINTED AND BOUND IN CANADA BY THE RYERSON PRESS, TORONTO ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing this book has been a fascinating experience, and its completion has meant, not the end of the research but merely abandonment of it, with the uncomfortable feeling that so much more is still undiscovered. I am grateful for permission to use the material prepared for and published in Chatelaine in June, July and August of 1964. My thanks must also go to members of the Massey family, who have been unfailingly courteous and helpful, searching albums to dig up the many wonderful photographs from past and present; to Massey-Ferguson, who allowed access to the company's archives; to local residents in the Cobourg area who received me kindly and directed me to new sources of information; to friends and acquaintances who gave me encouragement and help; to my family, who put up with neglected household chores; and to United Church and Anglican Church archivists and staff members of the Ontario Provincial Archives and the Toronto Public Library, particularly the gentlemen in the Toronto Room, who uncomplainingly heaved around for me dusty volumes of early Ontario newspapers. I hope all these people will feel that the final result justifies their efforts. M.G.
