Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Summary

Executive Summary Introduction Wendy Jacobs, Architect and Heritage Consultant, and Dr David Rowe, Authentic Heritage Services, were commissioned by the Mount Alexander Shire Council in June 2011 to undertake a review of the heritage precincts and specific individual places identified in the Heritage Study of Newstead Stage 2 (May 2004). A draft of the Review was provided to the Mount Alexander Shire in July 2011.

Aims of the Review The principal aims of the Review have been to:

 Identify (through fieldwork) all non-significant places in the 5 heritage precincts: Campbells Creek; Fryerstown; Guildford; Newstead; and Vaughan.  Provide lists of all non-significant places in the 5 heritage precincts.  Review submissions received by Council in relation to heritage citations and where necessary, undertake additional research and verify and/or correct the assessments provided in the Stage 2 Study.

The secondary aims of the Review have been to:

 Review the boundaries of the 5 heritage precincts.  Where necessary, refresh the supporting documentation and statements of significance for the 5 heritage precincts.

It has not been the purpose of the Review to completely re-evaluate the 5 heritage precincts, but to provide limited updated information in support of their heritage values.

This Review has also not involved a re-evaluation of proposed heritage precinct policies for the Mount Alexander Planning Scheme, although some limited additional policy recommendations are provided to support the refreshed statements of significance of the precincts.

Recommendations Heritage Precincts  It is recommended that heritage overlays be applied to the five (5) revised heritage precincts at Campbells Creek, Fryerstown, Guildford, Newstead and Vaughan as outlined in this Review.

 It is recommended that the significance status for each of the following places be amended in each of the precincts:

Campbells Creek . 51 Main Road – dwelling at rear of site adjacent to railway line (contributory significance).

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd i Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Summary

. Main Road – Avenue of Honour (local significance) (between 113 Main Rd east side & 92 Main Rd west side, & 120 Midland Hwy east side & 127 Midland Hwy west side).

Fryerstown . 13 Heron Street: Treed land comprising the former National School Reserve (contributory significance). . Opp. 2 High Street: Stone Bridge abutments and stone creek embankments (contributory significance). . Opp. 60 High Street: Stone Bridge abutments (contributory significance). . Lot 13, 26 High Street: Mine Dump (contributory significance). . Opp. 32 High Street: Perseverance Mine Dump (contributory significance). . 2 Market Street: Park, including Eucalyptus & Cypress Trees (contributory significance).

Guildford . 1 Ballarat Street: Reserve (formerly part of Russell Square) (contributory significance). . Parker Street: John Powell Reserve (formerly Russell Square) (contributory significance.

Newstead . 3 Creswick Newstead Road: Dwelling (contributory significance.) . 1 Lyons Street: The Shambles (3 shops) (contributory significance). . 23 Lyons Street: Dwelling (contributory significance). . 25 Lyons Street: Butcher’s Shop (contributory significance). . 3 Tivey Street: Dwelling (contributory significance). . 8 Tivey Street: Shed (contributory significance).

Vaughan . VN/01, off Greville Street: Vaughan Mineral Springs: (reserve now included in heritage precinct – no change to significance). . VN/03, opp. 33 Greville Street: Chinese Burial Ground: (burial ground now included in heritage precinct – no change to significance). . VN/05, Fryers Creek, Greville Street: Bridge over Fryers Creek (bridge now included in heritage precinct – no change to significance). . VN/13, Tarilta Road: Tarilta Road Bridge (bridge now included in heritage precinct – no change to significance).

 Although it is outside of the scope of this Review to re-examine the proposed heritage precinct policies for the Mt Alexander Shire Planning Scheme, the following is recommended for the Fryerstown and Vaughan Heritage Precincts:

. Consideration be given to more broadly defined policy for future building development. It could include promoting: new buildings of a range of forms and designs, and of contextually modest (single storey) scales that do not impose on or detract from the significant heritage landscape setting and/or neighbouring significant buildings; construction

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd ii Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Summary

materials that are not highly reflective within the landscape; recessive garaging and/or carports, and visually permeable residential front fences to 1200-1300 mm heights of designs and construction that are contemporary interpretations of front fencing in the precinct and respond to the designs of the new buildings.

. Consideration be given to the high archaeological potential of these precincts. As all archaeological sites are protected under the Heritage Act 1995, consent is required from Heritage Victoria to disturb them. Therefore, it is recommended that policy be prepared that reflects this legislation. Consideration could be given to the following: “Where ground disturbance uncovers archaeological evidence of 19th century gold mining and associated building activity, works should cease until notification has been made with and approval given by Heritage Victoria for works to proceed, in accordance with the Victorian Heritage Act 1995.”

. Any policy or incorporated document that includes the lists of non- significant places for these places be treated differently given the high archaeological potential of these areas as set out in the statements of significance for the Vaughan and Fryerstown precincts.

 Exotic trees on public land and road reserves as outlined in the precinct statements of significance be identified as tree controls for each of the heritage overlays in the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay.

Individual Places Outside Precincts (removed from Revised Precincts)  It is recommended that individual heritage overlays apply to those places of local significance previously located within the heritage precincts (and now excluded from them). These places are:

Campbells Creek Precinct . CC/80: 10A Princess. . CC/82: 12 Princess Street. . CC/85: 24 Princess Street. . CC/86: 26 Princess Street.

Fryerstown Precinct No change recommended.

Guildford Precinct No change recommended.

Newstead Precincts . ND/16 Pair of Dwellings: 8 Church Street . . Rotunda Park, Pyrenees Highway, including ND/63 Major Mitchell Cairn and ND/64 Band Rotunda. . ND/88 Williams House: 3 Wyndham Street. . ND/89 Clarke House: 9 Wyndham Street.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd iii Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Summary

Vaughan Precinct No change recommended.

Review of Specific Individual Places As a result of the informal exhibition by the Mount Alexander Shire a number of submissions were received by the Mount Alexander Shire. Changes to places were also noted in the years since Stage 1 of the study was undertaken in 1998. 38 places were reviewed. These reviewed citations are included as Appendix 5.12.

As a result of the field work 4 citations have been revised and it is recommended that 22 new citations be prepared.

A concern of some submitters was the condition of building fabric. While these concerns are acknowledged, attempts were made to clarify that these issues are generally outside the recognized heritage assessment process. This is supported in the Australia ICOMOS Burra Charter and particularly the Guidelines to the Burra Charter on Cultural Significance.

Economic and condition matters are issues that may be relevant as part of an assessment of a planning permit application after the heritage overlay has been introduced, and as guided by the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

The review has resulted in the following outcomes:  29 places were confirmed as of Local Significance.  4 places were confirmed as of Contributory Significance within a Precinct.  1 place changed from Local Significance to Contributory within a Precinct.  2 places were changed from Local Significance to Conservation Desirable.  1 place changed from Contributory Significance to Conservation Desirable.  1 place is already covered by a Heritage Overlay.

It is recommended that heritage overlays be applied to the  29 places confirmed as of Local Significance.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd vi Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 1

1.0 Introduction The Mount Alexander Shire Council commissioned Wendy Jacobs, Architect and Heritage Consultant, and Dr David Rowe, Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd in June 2011 to undertake a review of the heritage precincts and specific individual places identified in the Heritage Study of Newstead Stage 2 (May 2004). Some limited additional historical research was carried out by Pam Jennings of Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd. A draft of the Review was provided to the Mount Alexander Shire in July 2011.

1.1 Aims of the Review The principal aims of the Review have been to:

 Identify (through fieldwork) all non-significant places in the 5 heritage precincts: Campbells Creek; Fryerstown; Guildford; Newstead; and Vaughan.  Provide lists of all non-significant places in the 5 heritage precincts.  Review submissions received by Council in relation to 35 heritage citations and where necessary, undertake additional research and verify and/or correct the assessments provided in the Stage 2 Study.

The secondary aims of the Review have been to:

 Review the boundaries of the 5 heritage precincts.  Where necessary, refresh the supporting documentation and statements of significance for the 5 heritage precincts.

It has not been the purpose of the Review to completely re-evaluate the 5 heritage precincts, but to provide limited updated information in support of their heritage values.

Mapping for the project has involved site visits, aerial imagery and maps, and feedback provided from Council officers on the draft Report. It was beyond the scope of the project to engage the services of a cartographer.

1.2 Acknowledgments

The Consultants sincerely appreciate the assistance and support received throughout the project from:

 Daniel Borton, Mt. Alexander Shire Council.  Christine Halstead, Mt Alexander Shire Council.  Derek Reid, Newstead Historical Society.

1.3 Project Outcomes Heritage Precincts As a result of the fieldwork and some minor additional historical research, changes have been suggested to the boundaries of all precincts. This has meant that some significant places are no longer located within the precincts. These particular places are listed with each of the precincts in Section 2. For places of local significance now isolated from the precincts, individual heritage overlays are recommended (see Section 4 for further details).

The refreshed supporting background and statements of significance for each of the precincts are given in Section 2, reflecting the changes in precinct boundaries and in relation to the Fryerstown and Vaughan townships, the importance of the cultural heritage landscapes of these precincts. Of these latter precincts, potential archaeological fabric, engineering infrastructure (such as drainage culverts and bridge and creek abutments) and specific landscape sites are now identified.

With each of the precincts in Section 2 are revised precinct maps. These maps show the original boundaries and the revised boundaries. A complete illustrated list of all places within the original precinct boundaries is provided in Appendix 5.1. Illustrated lists of all places within the revised precincts are given as Appendices 5.2-5.6. Lists of all non significant places in each of the revised precinct are included in Appendices 5.7-5.11.

Individual Places As a result of the review of individual places resulting from submissions to the Mount Alexander Shire and the field work for the precincts the following recommendations have been made.

It is recommended that heritage overlays be applied to the  29 places confirmed as of Local Significance.

1.4 Significance Criteria & Thresholds The evaluation criteria identified in Volume 1 of the Heritage Study of the Shire of Newstead (2004) formed the basis to this Review, together with some additional thresholds.

Precinct Evaluation Criteria The evaluation criteria developed and utilized in this Review have been established according to the Assessment Criteria adopted by the Australian Heritage Council (previously the Criteria for the National Estate), as

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 4 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 1

prescribed in the VPP Practice Note: Applying the Heritage Overlay. The criteria below were adopted for all precincts in this study, with particular emphasis being placed on those features and qualities that contributed to the overall physical heritage and visual character of each particular area. The Heritage Victoria Landscape Assessment Guidelines: July 2002, updated January 2009 with new Assessment Criteria has also formed a basis of consideration for significance thresholds and criteria for this Review.

The establishment of the revised boundaries of each of the precincts listed in the following section was dependent upon the volume of significant heritage places in the area (where applicable); and important visual connections of particular heritage places within the precinct, and the potential impact of these visual connections with other buildings, landscapes, urban foci and views. Boundaries were also dependent on the extent of specific property boundaries. In addition, the following Precinct Criteria was adopted:

A. Buildings & Significant Details  Building use, i.e. residential, commercial  Building type, i.e. detached, semi-detached  Number of storeys  Scale of buildings  Roof form and pitch, i.e. gabled/hipped/flat and range of pitch  Architectural style and/or age of buildings  Building construction/cladding i.e. walls - horizontal weatherboard - brick roofs - galvanised corrugated iron - terra cotta tile, slate, etc.  Eaves characteristics i.e. wide or narrow (range) - Exposed rafters  Early chimneys  Range of front and side setbacks, and access/location of driveway (i.e. front – side, rear)  Height range and type, design and location appropriateness of fences

B. Urban Design & Engineering Infrastructure  Historical street and allotment pattern and average size/s (where applicable)  Significant urban foci  Significant views  Street characteristics i.e. early kerbing, early paving, verges, etc.

C. Landscaping  Treelines  Public gardens  Median strips  Nature strips

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 5 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 1

D. Physical Attributes  Significant proportion of physical heritage characteristics including (but not limited to) all of the above in a defined area.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 6 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 1

Additional Precinct Thresholds Significance Levels for Places in Precincts

 National, State or Local Significance (places of individual significance to particular areas or communities at a national, state or local level. Nationally significant places are considered worthy of inclusion on the National Heritage List. Places of State significance are considered worthy of inclusion on the Victorian Heritage Register. Places of local significance are considered worthy of inclusion as heritage overlays – either individual or precinct heritage overlays).  Contributory Significance (places that contribute to the architectural, historical, aesthetic and social significance of the precinct. They are worthy of inclusion as part of heritage precinct overlays).  Conservation Desirable Significance (places outside precincts that do not meet the local individual significance threshold but may be worthy of retention – these places are not recommended for heritage overlays and therefore statutory protection).  No Significance (places within precincts that have no significance. They are included in the heritage overlays of the precincts).  Potential Archaeological Significance (places/sites with potential archaeological significance included places with or without built heritage significance, vacant land, reserves and river and creek embankments. These places are automatically protected under the Heritage Act 1995 and consent is required from Heritage Victoria to disturb them).

Integrity Thresholds for Places in Precincts Thresholds The threshold for determining the significance of each place has largely been dependent on the following, as determined by the Supporting Background (History, Description and Statement of Significance) for each precinct. The thresholds are:

 Date range of area.  Date range of streets in the area.  Percentage contribution of buildings in the area (where applicable).  Integrity to the creation date of contributory buildings.

Additions Places with later additions may continue to contribute to the significance of the precinct if:  The additions have been identified as contributing to the significance of the building or place (the additions being significance in their own right).  The additions have no significance but are recessive and do not dominate over the building, streetscape or area.

Relocated Places Relocated places may also contribute to the significance of the precinct if they have direct associations with the history of the area and are identified in the precinct statements of significance.

2.0 Heritage Precincts 2.1 Campbells Creek Heritage Precinct

A. Historical Overview 1 (refer to historical figures at the end of this section). From its beginning as an extension of the Forest Creek diggings in 1851, the township that grew up beside Campbells Creek had its fortunes tied to neighbouring Castlemaine. The main track south followed the creek. Distributed along it in February 1853 were ‘long lines of tents’ and up to three thousand bustling diggers. Several stores opened for business on a rise on the track that became known as the Five Flags. The name signifies the multinational digger population and survives today in the Five Flags Hotel that opened with a ball on 1 June 1855. The long lineal nature of the township is revealed in the part plan of the Township as Figure 2.1.1.

A visitor strolled along the main road from Castlemaine towards it in January 1856 and noted changes to a settlement barely four years old:

Keeping on the main road, we pass John o’ Groats’ Hotel, a brick building, judging from appearances ... A little further on, on the right hand, stands the remains of the Shakespeare Hotel, now converted into a ginger beer manfactory [sic]’ ... On the opposite side of the creek is 70-foot Hill, and a number of others partially worked. ... We pass the Bath Arms, a neat little public house, on the left side, as all the other hotels are. Wheelers Brewery stands on the right hand side, on freehold land, and fenced. Beyond that, is Ranters Gully with numerous tents pitched, very few diggers ... The Primitive Methodists are erecting a place of worship. Further on, a Cornishman has two large paddocks down, drained by a horse pump, and two puddling machines. There are 20 Chinese tents on the hillside above the Five Flags. Between the Five Flags and the Oddfellows, on the left stands the Presbyterian church, the most miserable wretched place of worship we have ever seen ... Arriving at the late Anglo- French hotel, we see signs of life once more ... Stores built of stone or brick sold a wide range of goods, including boots and shoes and produce from local orchards, and the cottages, such as Duffy’s, had ‘neat verandahs’.

Quartz and alluvial mining was the town’s main industry by 1865 when there were three thousand people in the district and five quartz-crushing mills. The business quarter included eight hotels supplied by the Standard Brewery (shown in Figure 2.1.2) and, at various times, three other breweries. As well, there were two cordial factories, a plant that made beer from horehound and Cunnack’s Tannery on Winter’s Flat. In 1862, nine acres were reserved for a recreation ground where there were cricket and football matches and race meetings.

The town was the administrative centre of the Campbells Creek Road Board District, which had an estimated population of 3,800 and about 900 dwellings. The population of the township fell to a thousand by 1880 when the district was noted for its orchards, not its gold. The closing of the Ajax mine in 1897 marked the demise of quartz mining, but alluvial mining revived between 1902 and 1920 when a company installed two dredges on the

creek. Another dredge operated between 1935 and 1942. The dredges provided employment, but greater job security lay in Castlemaine at Thompson’s Foundry, the Castlemaine Woollen Mill and the Castlemaine Brewery. Campbell’s Creek was a ‘melancholy’ suburb of Castlemaine in 1944. Of its population of about 700, more than 15 per cent lived on pensions.

An important event in 1921 was the planting of the avenue of honour of elm trees towards the northern end of the town.2

B. Description Precinct Boundaries (refer to the precinct plan at the rear of this section) The Campbells Creek heritage precinct represents a linear residential, commercial and cultural area within the picturesque rural setting of the Campbells Creek valley. The spine of the area is Main Road which runs beside the east bank of the creek. Main Road has a combination of modestly scaled individually significant and contributory predominantly single storey buildings.

Buildings & Significant Details The Campbells Creek heritage precinct is especially characterised by its collection of significant and contributory, predominantly detached residential buildings that have largely been built in the 19th century. There are also a number of Victorian commercial buildings, together with the 19th century primary school and churches scattered along the precinct.

Houses Most of the significant and contributory houses are designed in a Victorian or Late Victorian style, articulated with either a single or double fronted composition and are single storey in height. These modestly scaled houses mainly have hipped and/or gabled roof forms with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees. The bulk of the houses feature narrow eaves, brick chimneys and feature front or return verandahs (generally as simple skillions, bullnosed or convex forms). These buildings have stone, brick, horizontal timber weatherboard or rendered masonry wall finishes, with timber framed windows (predominantly double hung). All the houses have corrugated steel roof cladding.

Generally, the front fencing to the houses is low and visually permeable with vegetation behind. These fences do not necessarily have heritage value, but they do allow views to the buildings and vegetation and include open picket, cyclone wire and woven wire construction.

Garaging (including carports), sheds and other outbuildings are generally located towards the rear of the properties.

Commercial Buildings The majority of the former and existing commercial buildings were built in the 19th century and are constructed of rendered masonry, stone and brick and

many feature parapets with hipped and/or gabled roof forms behind at a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees. Apart from the Diggers Store towards the northern end of the precinct, the commercial buildings are single storey in height and contextually modestly scaled. Many were combined residences and shops and most of the former commercial buildings are now used as houses. Many buildings feature front skillion verandahs but few project over the footpaths. There are some minimal advertising hoardings.

Some commercial buildings have brick chimneys that adorn the rooflines, and most have corrugated steel roof cladding. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves. Another feature of some buildings is the retained shop windows.

Other Buildings Within the southern area of the precinct is a significant brick primary school building and war memorial. Punctuating the precinct are two former churches dating from the 19th century, one is now used as a school and the other was used in the late twentieth century as an antique gallery. These single storey buildings have steeply pitched gabled roof forms. There are also two small lodges with distinctive semi circular front parapets, one a former Rechabite tent and the other a former Oddfellows hall. The timber former Shire of Newstead office is another significant small building in the lineal precinct.

C. Urban Design & Engineering Infrastructure The Campbells Creek heritage precinct is especially characterised by its rural setting that substantially contributes to the overall visual quality of the Campbells Creek Township. This setting is especially identified in the contextually large residential allotment sizes, substantial front setbacks to many of the houses, narrow and wide side setbacks and the residential gardens.

A major characteristic of the precinct is the changing views along the gently winding road with the precinct terminating in the south with the Five Flags General Store and Hotel as a major urban focus. There are a number of views within the precinct to the nearby hills to the east and west, and into and across the creek valley. Other important foci within the township are the two church buildings, the two storey Diggers Store and a number of buildings built on the road boundary or close to the road boundary.

Some of the engineering infrastructure for the Campbells Creek precinct also contributes to the rural character of the area. This infrastructure includes the gravelled verges to most of the roads.

D. Landscaping An important streetscape feature of the town is the avenue of honour that stretches along Main Road to the north. The predominantly elm trees are have been pollarded on the west side of the road under the power lines. The deciduous blossom trees on the west side of Main Road lining the bowling club also form a significant landscape element in the precinct. The views from the town to the tree line along Campbells Creek make a secondary contribution to the visual amenity of the place.

Within the precinct, the private gardens are a characteristic feature, being identified by native and exotic trees, shrubs and flowers, together with open grassed areas.

E. Statement of Cultural Significance The Campbells Creek heritage precinct has significance as a lineal 19th century township characterised by modestly scaled houses, civic and commercial buildings. The Victorian styled houses have significance for their single storey height, hipped and gabled roofs clad in corrugated steel, for their rendered masonry, stone, brick, render and horizontal timber weatherboard wall construction, timber framed windows, narrow eaves, brick chimneys and front and/or return verandahs. The former commercial buildings are also largely single storey, some feature parapets with hipped and/or gabled roof forms behind, rendered masonry, brick or weatherboard wall construction, front projecting verandahs and shopfronts (some retaining shop windows). Garaging and carports are generally located at the rear of the properties. Built mainly between the 1850s and the 1890s, these houses and existing and former commercial buildings, together with the school, lodges and churches are an important legacy of the development of the township during this critical period.

The Campbells Creek Precinct is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria D.2, E.1). It demonstrates many original and early design qualities associated with the residential and commercial development of the Campbells Creek Township.

The original design qualities of the 19th century residential buildings include: predominantly single storey height; hipped and gabled roof forms (with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees); modest eaves; corrugated steel roof cladding; horizontal timber weatherboard, render stone or brick wall construction; timber framed windows (mainly double hung); brick chimneys; and front and/or return verandahs. The low height and visually permeability of some fencing also contributes to the significance of the area, as does the rear location of garaging and carports.

The original design qualities of the 19th century existing and former commercial and civic buildings include: single or double storey height; rendered masonry, stone, brick or timber weatherboard wall construction; hipped and/or gabled roof forms (with a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees); narrow eaves, parapets on the main elevations (with signage); surviving front verandahs; shopfronts with ingoes and stall boards and the brick chimneys.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 11 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

The 19th century primary school and two churches also contribute to the architectural significance of the Campbells Creek precinct.

The Campbells Creek precinct is aesthetically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria E.1). The significant visual qualities include the avenue of honour of elm trees towards the northern end of the precinct, together with the deciduous blossom trees outside on the bowling club on Main Road and the substantial private gardens. Uninterrupted views the nearby hills to the east and west and the closed and changing vistas along the road terminating in the south by the Five Flags General Store and Hotel also contribute to the visual qualities of the precinct.

The Campbells Creek Precinct is historically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criterion A.4). It is associated with the development of the Campbells Creek Township from the 1850s, as a result of the goldrush when Campbells Creek was conveniently located within a mining area and on the main road between the thriving goldfields at Ballarat and Castlemaine. By 1856 there were a number of buildings that serviced the local mining areas. The surviving 19th century houses, former and existing commercial buildings, school and churches, together with the lineal nature of the town following the creek valley are a legacy of the goldrush era.

Overall, the Campbells Creek Precinct is of LOCAL significance.

2.2 Fryerstown Heritage Precinct

A. Historical Overview 3 The settlement established by diggers on Fryer’s Creek in November 1851 was proclaimed Fryer’s Town in May 1854. Surveyors marked out a township site adjoining the Commissioner’s Camp and township lots were sold the following October. This survey was largely reflected in the Township Plan of Fryerstown, the irregularly laid roads and allotments being a consequence of the contours of the land, Fryers Creek and mine sites (Figure 2.2.1). An early reservation was the National School site at 13 Heron Street in 1855. In February 1856, after many diggers departed to join in the rush to Kangaroo Flat, the local correspondent of the Mount Alexander Mail noticed the ‘nondescript’ town had become ‘dull and quiet’. The following May he reflected on almost five years of change since the first time he saw ‘a few solitary tents’ and some stores around a shepherd’s hut:

Of those ancient days not one storekeeper remains; in place we see a nice comfortable Warden’s residence, with a very pretty garden, quite an ornament and pattern to all observers. Then we have our hotels: three years ago the idea of a hotel on Fryer’s Creek would have been a wonder. Now we have the Fryer’s Town Hotel, a two-storey building, with two jolly landlords and a first rate cook — with their weekly quadrille parties and other amusements, they stand “A 1 at Lloyd’s;” then there is the Diggers’ Rest, kept by a very old friend ... We have our wholesale stores, our Babylonic warehouses, our cottages, and our villas, to make us complete. We are to have a reading room and a library. Go a-head Fryer’s Town! Advance Australia! A local court — a bench of magistrates — a resident clergyman — and a municipality (which must include the Dog Act), would make the place a rising township, and a desirable residence. The improvements he anticipated symbolise the resilience and optimism of the Fryerstown community on one of the richest goldfields in central Victoria: a Methodist Church of stone on Chapel Hill in September; a Court of Petty Sessions appointed the following year and a new court building in 1858; and a mechanics’ institute in 1863.

Hugh and Isaac Moore’s general store business, the most successful of almost twenty in the town’s first two decades, mirrors the township’s development. The brothers’ first store began in a tent in 1852 on a site that was later the township’s main street. In 1857, they erected a large weatherboard building with a zinc roof that gave the town ‘added prestige’. Hugh Moore, meanwhile, built the two-storey Fryerstown Hotel for which he held the licence between 1855 and 1861 (this was one of at least 20 hotels within a two mile radius).4 Finally, in 1870, the brothers invested in a large, double- fronted store constructed of sandstone in which they employed a staff of twenty-two. They eventually sold the business which passed through the hands of several owners until 1944 when part of the building was demolished and the remnant was included in a private home.

Mining lay behind the Moore brothers’ prosperity. In March 1861, Eve Tremain, accompanied by her mother and sister, arrived directly from

England to meet her brother Alfred who had been a miner at Fryerstown for six years. She found a township comprised of ‘campers tents and large holes as close together as Honey Comb’. Her brother lived in a cottage ‘made of wood lined with Calico the floor is made of the bark of Trees with the fire as the Hearth’. Eve eventually married Mark Amos, the local Mining Surveyor and Registrar, and their home was a four-room cottage with office attached on a half-acre block that was purchased at the first land sale in 1854.

Remains of the prosperous mines line the road to Chewton, the most obvious being the engine house of the Duke of Cornwall mine owned by the Rowe brothers. Edward Rowe’s large sandstone home, built in 1874 at the height of the quartz-mining boom, exemplifies the prosperity of one of the five ‘Quartz Kings’ of Fryerstown. The home, in which Rowe employed maids and servants, contrasts with the diminutive miners’ cottages nearby. More ubiquitous was the dredging and sluicing operations of individual miners. According to Rupert Charlett, ‘Some of the men were able to prise open the outcrops of slate in the creek and extract gold by the pound weight, but these conditions did not last long.’5

Fryerstown’s decline as a mining centre began early with the gradual departure of the alluvial miners. The boom in quartz mining was over by 1876 and although mines like the New Era continued working into the 1880s their returns diminished and the mines closed.

Beginning in 1859 Fryerstown was the administrative centre of the Fryer’s Creek Division of the Castlemaine Mining District. The district’s 19½ square miles supported a large mining population — 8,500 in 1856, 5,913 in 1859, 3,232 in 1865 and 1,260 in 1883. This led to the provision of a site for a market and public buildings in 1869.6 With frontages to Market and Castlemaine Streets, public buildings were subsequently erected, the first being the Mechanics Institute in 1863 as a tribute to the explorers, Burke and Wills. Other buildings followed, including the Court House (1889), Police Residence (1889) and the State School (1915). A public garden was also established on the land fronting Market Street, the western portion being marked today by a substantial Eucalyptus tree and a cypress tree, with poplars possibly lining the early park entry in Market Street.

The township population declined from 696 in 213 homes in 1861, to 386 in 91 homes in 1891. The decline continued into the twentieth century, despite considerable local sluicing and dredging activity. Figure 2.2.2 shows the Fryerstown township in the late 1800s, and particularly the Corner Hotel (left) at the junction of Castlemaine and High Streets. The hotel was located on the south-east corner, adjacent to the bridge on the north bank of the creek.7 The last surviving hotel in Fryerstown, it closed in 19228 and has subsequently been demolished.

The closure of the Corner Hotel was a reflection of the continuing decline of the township. In the 1920s the coach service to Castlemaine ceased to operate because the business was ‘no longer a viable proposition.’ The change in the once thriving mining town is particularly highlighted by the memories of “Hespin” in The Argus in 1938:

I spent the first 19 years of my life in the Fryerstown district, revisiting it many times during the next 20 years. In 1935, after an absence of 30 years, I was dismayed to see its dilapidated and deserted appearance, the state of the roads, the stillness of the whole place, where once numerous noisy batteries made their presence known day and night from Sunday at midnight to Saturday at the same hour, and the painful view that met my eyes when I came to the old bridge corner where once stood the Bridge Inn (Clark’s), another hotel (Hazlitt’s) and a bank just opposite. The town was really dead.9

A glimpse of Fryerstown two years after “Hespin’s” published memories in 1940 is shown as Figure 2.2.3. It appears to depict High Street from the east end looking towards the Castlemaine Street intersection. The bridge over Fryers Creek is evident in the foreground, as are buildings that no longer survive on the south side of High Street, east of the Castlemaine and High Streets intersection.

By 1975 the township’s population was 56 and many of the houses were deserted. By this time, the natural landscape – which had been opened and laid bare by the tumultuous mining activity of the 19th century – had largely regrown. However, the once thriving township continues to be recognised through the surviving roads, buildings, landscapes and mining sites.

B. Description Precinct Boundaries (refer to the precinct plan at the rear of this section) The Fryerstown heritage precinct is predominantly a cultural heritage landscape. In particular, it is an “organically evolved” landscape, whereby the existing picturesque setting combines both remnants of 19th century gold mining and township development and reconstituted natural landscape along the natural valley of Fryers Creek.

The two major streets which meet at a T intersection are Castlemaine Street and High Street and they contain a widely spaced collection of modestly scaled single storey buildings. A central feature of the town is the creek valley and the two roads meet near the bridge crossing. The open land adjoining the creek provides high archaeological potential, as would appear the majority of the allotments in the area. The southern portion of the precinct includes a cluster of civic buildings around Market, Camp and Castlemaine Streets, namely the Court House, Burke and Wills Mechanic’s Institute, Wardens House and School. On higher ground to the north and south of the area, fronting Heron and High Streets, are early church buildings.

Buildings & Significant Details The Fryerstown heritage precinct is identified by the sparsely located, predominantly detached residential buildings built mainly in the 19th century, although some important early 20th century and interwar era dwellings also survive. There are also a number of significant Victorian commercial and civic buildings.

Houses Most of the significant and contributory houses are designed in a Victorian or Late Victorian style, with fewer early 20th century and interwar era dwellings. They are articulated with either a single or double fronted composition and are single storey in height. These modestly scaled houses mainly have hipped and/or gabled roof forms with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees. The bulk of the houses feature narrow eaves, brick chimneys and feature front or return verandahs (either as simple skillions or convex forms). These buildings generally have brick or horizontal timber weatherboard construction, with timber framed windows (predominantly double hung). All the houses have corrugated steel roof cladding.

Generally, the front fencing to the houses is low and visually permeable with vegetation behind. A notable exception is the significant dry stone wall as the front fence in High Street near the corner of Chapel Street.

Garaging (including carports), sheds and other outbuildings are generally located towards the rear of the properties.

Commercial Buildings The few commercial buildings were constructed in the 19th century and none are now operating. They are constructed of rendered brick and stone, face stone and weatherboard. Two feature parapets with hipped and/or gabled roof forms behind at a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees. The small number of commercial buildings is single storey in height and contextually modestly scaled. All have some residential component, either having reverted to residences in the twentieth century or originally combining the residential and commercial activities in the one building.

Some commercial buildings have brick chimneys that adorn the rooflines, and all have corrugated steel roof cladding.

There is no remaining commercial signage.

Civic and Church Buildings One of the features of Fryerstown is civic buildings in the area of Market and Camp Streets. These include the Court House, the Burke and Wills Mechanic’s Institute, the Police Residence and the school.

C. Urban Design & Engineering Infrastructure The Fryerstown heritage precinct is especially characterised by its contrived rural setting that substantially contributes to the overall visual quality of the Fryerstown township.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 20 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

The allotment sizes within the precinct vary from large residential blocks to smaller commercial allotments, their irregularity (and the irregularity of the road layouts) being a legacy of 19th century gold mining activity and a consequence of the natural topography of the area. A notable feature is the substantial front setbacks to many of the houses, which range approximately between 5 and 15 metres. There is a range of narrow and wide side setbacks. Many of the houses are set within garden settings. The buildings are widely spaced within the town and with minor exceptions are not contiguous.

There are a number of significant views within the precinct to the nearby hills surrounding the town, along the two avenues of trees in High and Castlemaine Streets, across the creek valley to the south and east and across the town from the western end of the precinct in Castlemaine Street and to the east and west from the top of the hill near the intersection of High and Chapel Streets.

The engineering infrastructure for the Fryerstown precinct also contributes to the rural character of the area. This infrastructure includes the gravelled verges to most of the roads. A distinctive element is the local stone open drains particularly along the sides of Castlemaine Street. This is shallow on the north side near Camp Street and is now predominantly covered on the east side of Castlemaine Street where it is deeper and forms a channel. These direct stormwater to the creek which is also stone lined near the bridge and the bridge abutments are of local stone. High Street also crosses Fryers Creek to the east over a low bridge which features early local stone abutments. These stone linings, channels and abutments are significant engineering features in the precinct.

D. Landscaping The overriding character of Fryerstown is its picturesque rural setting derived from both the natural landscape and topography of the Fryers Creek valley and the surviving physical and archaeological remnants of the 19th century gold mining era. Overall, Fryerstown represents an organically evolved landscape given its combination of natural characteristics and features associated with human occupation.10

The major street landscape features are the avenues of street trees which commence with elms along the east side of Castlemaine Street approximately at Camp Street and stretch to the bridge with some younger trees on the west side nearer the bridge. The bridge area is characterised by substantial tree planting in the area and subsequent sucker growth along the creek edges. The avenue planting continues along High Street from the intersection of Castlemaine Street to the intersection of Chapel Street with elm trees on the north side and plane trees to the south. Further along High Street to the east is a long avenue of poplars on the north side of the road with a shorter avenue

10 The Heritage Victoria Landscape Assessment Guidelines: July 2002, updated January 2009 with new Assessment Criteria use the term “organically evolved” landscape as one of the assessment types. It definition given is a “landscape, developed over time often through incremental changes brought about by patterns of use.”

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 21 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

on the south. The distinctive columnar shapes of the trees are landmarks in the area.

In the open area between Camp and Market Streets is a substantial eucalyptus tree which is reputed to have been used to tie up felons prior the construction of a gaol. This and the surrounding cypress and other trees are contained within a park. Another site with a number of pine trees is the former National School Reserve at 13 Heron Street.

As a physical legacy of the gold mining era, the remaining mullock heaps near roadsides and viewed from within the precinct also add to the significance of the precinct.

The sparse population of buildings in the area also contributes to the significance of the place allowing long views into and out of the precinct, embodying the gradual demise of this once thriving 19th century gold mining town during the interwar era. The remaining significant and contributory buildings are set in the rural landscape.

The substantial private gardens are especially characterised by native and exotic trees, shrubs and flowers, together with open grassed areas.

E. Statement of Cultural Significance The Fryerstown heritage precinct has significance as an important cultural heritage landscape defined by the natural topography of the Fryers Creek valley and the physical and archaeological remnants of the 19th century gold mining township. The built character of the town is identified in the surviving 19th and early 20th century sparsely-located building stock, most notably being the Victorian dwellings and commercial and civic buildings. As the administrative centre of the Fryer’s Creek Division of the Castlemaine Mining District from 1859, the precinct is especially notable for its public and government buildings, including the court house, police residence, mechanics institute, state school and churches. Of particular significance is the organic and picturesque setting within which the township is located. The former 19th century mining and building activity is evident within this natural landscape in the irregularly laid out roads and allotments, avenues of street trees, open spaces (including those adjacent to Fryers Creek which have high archaeological potential), mullock heaps and other remnant mining infrastructure, stone drains, creek embankments and bridge abutments, and the private and public garden settings combining both native and exotic plantings. Of the public landscaping, the park off Castlemaine Street (between Camp and Market Streets) with its exotic trees including cypresses, and a substantial eucalyptus tree, is especially important.

The Fryerstown precinct is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria D.2, E.1). It demonstrates original and early design qualities associated with the residential, civic and commercial development of the Fryerstown township in the 19th century and to a lesser degree, early 20th century and interwar era.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 22 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

The original design qualities of the residential buildings include: single storey height; hipped and gabled roof forms (with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees); modest eaves; corrugated steel roof cladding; horizontal timber weatherboard, render or brick wall construction; timber framed windows (mainly double hung); brick chimneys; and front and/or return verandahs. The low height and visually permeable fencing and the substantial garden settings also contribute to the significance of the area, as does the rear location of garaging and carports.

The original design qualities of the 19th century commercial buildings include: single storey height; rendered brick and stone, stone, brick or timber weatherboard wall construction; hipped and/or gabled roof forms (with a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees); narrow eaves and parapets on the main elevations, and the brick chimneys. The 19th century primary school, court house, mechanic’s institute and two churches also contribute to the architectural significance of the Fryerstown precinct.

The Fryerstown precinct is aesthetically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria E.1). It represents a significant cultural heritage landscape defined by the natural topography of the Fryers Creek valley that had conformed to 19th century gold mining activity and township development. Today, this organic landscape provides a picturesque rural township setting identified in the views to the nearby hills, the long vistas down Castlemaine Street to the treed Fryers Creek valley, the views up High Street to the Chapel Street area and the long views east along High Street. The sparsely spaced 19th and early 20th century buildings with large grassed areas and vacant land, the tree avenues in Castlemaine and High Street, and the remnant poplars lining the western end of Market Street, represent other features of this important township setting. The substantial eucalyptus tree and the cypress and other exotic trees off Castlemaine Street in the former market reserve (now a park) between Camp and Market Street, former National School Reserve now characterised by pine trees at 13 Heron Street, together with the early engineering infrastructure (the stone drains in Castlemaine Street, bridges, and stone creek embankments and bridge abutments) further contribute to the visual amenity of the area.

The Fryerstown precinct is historically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criterion A.4). It is associated with the development of the Fryerstown township from the 1850s, as a result of the goldrush when Fryerstown developed to serve the local mining area and wider district. The first land sale was held in 1854 and soon after there were a number of buildings that serviced the local mining areas clustered around the original government camp and strung out along Fryers Creek. The surviving 19th century houses, commercial buildings, school, court house, mechanic’s institute and churches, together with the layout of the town are a legacy of the goldrush era.

Overall, the Fryerstown precinct is of LOCAL significance.

2.3 Guildford Heritage Precinct

A. Historical Overview 11 The township of Guildford began with a refreshment tent where the main track to Castlemaine crossed the Loddon. The proprietor purchased the site at a land sale in Castlemaine in May 1854 and late in August opened the Guildford Arms Hotel, the first of about twenty-four that traded at different times. Two years later ‘a fine timber bridge’ spanned the Loddon, ‘the longest of its kind in the district’. On its southern approach, at the corner of Templeton and Russell (later Fryerstown) Streets, Joseph Sherer erected the Guildford Family Hotel which became a major landmark. The township’s services to local mining were enhanced by two quartz crushing mills and a cement factory. A soap and candle factory began production in 1855.

By 1861, Guildford was a ‘rising township’ conveniently located seven miles from Castlemaine on the main road to Ballarat with, it was claimed, ‘a constant and never failing supply of water’. It was ‘a lively litle [sic] place’ with a small and relatively stable population. In addition to its commercial centre, there were 30 dwellings and 150 residents. Thirty years later there were 59 dwellings and 236 residents and even in 1970, when the township was a dormitory suburb of Castlemaine, the number of residents was approximately two hundred. Pride in the township was evident as early as 1860 when residents objected to Guildford’s inclusion in the Newstead Road Board District and some refused to pay their rates. The town was proclaimed a borough in 1866.

The Guildford township was afforded a regular, grid-like layout (Figure 2.3.1). Although the regularity of the roads and allotments was punctuated by the main road to Castlemaine and Daylesford (now Templeton, Park and Fletcher Streets), of particular interest was the provision of a central village common named Russell Square.12 A number of the principal commercial and residential buildings in the town centred onto the square as shown in the painting on tin in 1888 by Wearn Dunstan (Figure 2.3.2), although there were some dwellings that encroached within its boundaries.13 Bound by Fryers, Ballarat, Parker and Templeton Streets, the eastern end of the square was reserved for police purposes (Figure 2.3.3).14 However, it does not appear that the land was ever used by the police as a photograph of the square and surrounding buildings in the late 19th or early 20th century shows it as a fenced paddock (Figure 2.3.4). In 1906, residents of Guildford petitioned the Minister for Lands for part of the square for building a Mechanics Institute.15 This too, does not seem to have eventuated although a site on the Square was

temporarily reserved for this purpose on 4 March 1908.16 Pine trees were planted on part of the reserve (known as the pine plantation) in the early 20th century as part of Arbor Day.17 Ron Passalaqua has described Russell Square during the early 1900s as follows:

There was a pathway from the gate at the top near the cricket pavilion, through the reserve to a gate opposite the store. The right hand side going down to the store was only a rough grassy area, nothing took place there, but on the left hand side was the pine plantation. This was on quite a slope down and levelling off to what was commonly known as the bottom road. In the corner was a tennis court … and half a concrete cricket pitch. This is where we had cricket practice.18

Only twenty-two Chinese lived locally in 1861. Along the road to Yapeen, beside Campbells Creek, however, was the largest Chinese camp in Victoria with an estimated population of almost six thousand:

The Chinese Great Camp at Guildford grew, in regular lines of narrow primitive streets. In the days of its greatest glory, it had its permanent theatre and circus performers, though these were to move to Ballarat, and temples devoted to Joss in every street. The restaurants, the tea-houses, the gambling saloons, the cobblers’ stalls, the tailors’ shops, were as they were in Canton; there were shops for literature and shops for art; there were scholars to write your letters and interpreters to read them; there were doctors with peculiar rules of practice and medicines to suit. There were several buildings two storeys high substantially constructed of wood, the lower rooms being restaurants and places for simple Chinese gambling, the upper room, aired by a hole in the floor, being a dormitory for the members of the group centred on the particular house. Most Chinese departed for the Maryborough and McIvor diggings by 1865 and within five years the derelict camp was destroyed by fire. The few Chinese who elected to stay fossicked for gold and turned their talents to a profitable line in market gardening.

Swiss Italians formed another significant ethnic group in the town and were renowned for their tunnelling skills in the deep lead mines. Several went into the hotel business, such as Antonio Danzi at the Skittle Alley, Michele Buzzini at the Railway and Giuseppe Delmenico, who contracted silicosis when he was a miner, at the Guildford. Costantino and Gottardo Giovanetti opened a restaurant and practised intensive farming. Constantino Tognacca, who arrived in 1860, was a local dairyman.

The town became a service centre to the local farming community and with the arrival of the railway in 1874, a transport centre. In 1953, Russell Square was redeveloped as a recreation reserve, being named in honour of John Powell MBE, JP., local Councillor and benefactor.19 Memorial seats (and possibly memorial trees) were introduced at the western end of the reserve.

B. Description Precinct Boundaries (refer to precinct plan at the rear of this section) The Guildford heritage precinct is predominantly a small significant residential, commercial and cultural area within a picturesque rural setting. The main central thoroughfare, Fryers Street, has a combination of modestly scaled individually significant and contributory predominantly single storey buildings. A central open grassed feature of the town is the John Powell Reserve, originally known as Russell Square. Punctuating the precinct are Templeton and Parker Streets, together with Franklin Street to the south. This southern area is identified by the primary school and two churches.

Buildings & Significant Details The Guildford heritage precinct is especially characterised by its collection of predominantly detached residential buildings that have largely been built in the 19th century when the Guildford Township was an important service centre between the thriving gold mining towns of Castlemaine and Ballarat. There are also a number of significant Victorian commercial buildings, together with the 19th century primary school and churches to the south of the precinct area. An atypical local landmark built in the centre of town in the postwar era is the public hall.

Houses Most of the significant and contributory houses are designed in a Victorian or Late Victorian style, articulated with either a single or double front composition and being single storey in height. These modestly scaled houses mainly have hipped and/or gabled roof forms with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees. The bulk of the houses feature narrow eaves, brick chimneys and feature front or return verandahs (either as simple skillions or convex forms). These buildings have brick or horizontal timber weatherboard construction, with timber framed windows (predominantly double hung). All the houses have corrugated steel roof cladding.

Generally, the front fencing to the houses is low and visually permeable with vegetation behind.

Garaging (including carports), sheds and other outbuildings are generally located towards the rear of the properties.

Commercial Buildings The majority of the commercial buildings have been built in the 19th century and are constructed of brick and feature parapets with hipped and/or gabled roof forms behind at a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees. Apart from the Guildford Family Hotel at the corner of Templeton and Fryers Streets, the small numbers of commercial buildings are single storey in height and contextually modestly scaled. Most buildings feature front skillion verandahs that project over the footpaths, and are supported by either cast iron, timber or introduced posts. There are some minimal advertising hoardings.

Some commercial buildings have brick chimneys that adorn the rooflines, and all have corrugated steel roof cladding. Narrow overhangs are features of the

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 30 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

eaves. Another feature to some buildings are the shopfronts (some of which have been introduced), with ingoes and large glazed windows having stall boards.

Other Buildings Within the southern area of the precinct is a significant brick primary school building and two churches dating from the 19th century. These single storey buildings have steeply pitched gabled roof forms clad in galvanised corrugated iron, together with steeply pitched gabled porches at the front.

C. Urban Design & Engineering Infrastructure The Guildford heritage precinct is especially characterised by its rural setting that substantially contributes to the overall visual quality of the Guildford township.

The allotment sizes within the precinct vary from large residential blocks to smaller commercial allotments. However, there is a degree a regularity in the subdivisional layout. A notable feature is the substantial front setbacks to many of the houses, which range approximately between 5 and 15 metres. There is a range of narrow and wide side setbacks. Many of the houses are set within garden settings.

There are a number of significant views within the precinct to the nearby hills to the west and south-west, and to the avenue of honour over the Loddon River to the north, having the steeply rising Guildford Plateau behind. To the north-east is another plateau and both form an important visual backdrop to the township. At the western end of Fryers Street is a substantial Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh tree, from where there are uninterrupted views from the central township and forms an important focus. Other important foci within the township are the Guildford Family Hotel at the corner of Templeton and Fryers Streets, and the open grassed sports ground in the centre of town.

Some of the engineering infrastructure for the Guildford precinct also contributes to the rural character of the area. This infrastructure includes the gravelled verges to most of the roads.

D. Landscaping Of particular importance to the setting of the Guildford township is the large central grassed John Powell Reserve that originally formed a village green known as Russell Square. Specific significant landscape features in the town include the large River Red Gum (E. Camaldulensis) at the intersection of Ballarat and Fryers Streets and the street plantings along Templeton Street leading to the bridge across the Loddon River and the Avenue of Honour stretching away to the north of the town (although this avenue is not included

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 31 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

in the precinct). The views from the town to the natural tree line along the Loddon River are also significant

The substantial private gardens are especially characterised by native and exotic trees, shrubs and flowers, together with open grassed areas.

E. Statement of Cultural Significance The Guildford heritage precinct has significance as a predominantly intact 19th century township characterised by a small number of significant and contributory modestly scaled houses and commercial buildings built mainly between the 1850s and the 1890s. These buildings reflect the importance of Guildford as a service centre located between the thriving gold mining towns of Castlemaine and Ballarat, having been established in the early 1850s. The Victorian styled houses have significance for their predominantly single storey height, hipped and gabled roofs clad in corrugated steel, brick, render and horizontal timber weatherboard wall construction, timber framed windows, narrow eaves, brick chimneys and front and/or return verandahs. The commercial buildings are also largely single storey, but feature parapets with hipped and/or gabled roof forms behind, brick or weatherboard wall construction, front projecting verandahs and shopfronts (some having ingoes and large windows with stall boards). Other important buildings include the churches and the state school. Also of importance to the precinct is its town plan largely based on a rectangular grid layout. Central to the town is the John Powell Reserve which originally formed the village green known as Russell Square. The reserve includes memorials from the early 1950s.

The Guildford precinct is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria D.2, E.1). It demonstrates original and early design qualities associated with the residential and commercial development of the Guildford township from the mid 19th century.

The important design qualities of the residential buildings include: predominantly single storey height; hipped and gabled roof forms (with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees); modest eaves; corrugated steel roof cladding; horizontal timber weatherboard, render or brick wall construction; timber framed windows (mainly double hung); brick chimneys; and front and/or return verandahs. The low height and visually permeability of some fencing also contributes to the significance of the area, as does the rear location of garaging and carports.

The original design qualities of the 19th century commercial buildings include: single or double storey height; brick or timber weatherboard wall construction; hipped and/or gabled roof forms (with a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees); narrow eaves, parapets on the main elevations (with signage); front skillion verandahs that project over the footpaths; shopfronts with ingoes and stall boards and the brick chimneys. The 19th century primary school and two churches in the southern area also contribute to the architectural significance of the Guildford precinct.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 32 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

The Guildford precinct is aesthetically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria E.1). The significant visual qualities include the important uninterrupted views to the nearby hills to the west and south-west; avenue of honour over the Loddon River to the north; steeply rising Guildford Plateau to the north; and the steep plateau to north-east. The uninterrupted views along Fryers Street to (and including) the substantial River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh) tree, together with other important landmarks including the Guildford Family Hotel at the corner of Templeton and Fryers Streets, represent other significant visual qualities. The John Powell Reserve, originally known as Russell Square, provides an historic central open core to the town and also contributes to the visual amenity of the town.

The Guildford precinct is historically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criterion A.4). It is associated with the development of the Guildford from the 1850s, as a result of the goldrush when the township was conveniently located within a mining area and on the main road between the thriving goldfields at Ballarat and Castlemaine. The first land sale was held in 1854 and soon after there were a number of buildings that serviced the local mining areas. The surviving 19th century houses, commercial buildings, school and churches, together with the layout of the town are a legacy of the goldrush era.

Overall, the Guildford precinct is of LOCAL significance.

2.4 Newstead Heritage Precinct

A. Historical Overview 20 In September 1906 a Mining Department engineer reported that flooding at Newstead could have been avoided if the township had been founded on the ‘plenty of high ground near at hand’. Newstead’s origins, however, seem to be associated primarily with establishing a reliable crossing point of the Loddon, than with forming a township and district service centre.

The earliest known ford was Mingay’s or Mingus’ Crossing Place, about three kilometres downstream of the present bridge and now submerged beneath the waters of Cairn Curran Reservoir. The ford had been used by local squatters. Local traffic at the ford increased after the discovery of gold in 1851. Diggers from South Australia, trekking overland to Mount Alexander, passed through along the so-called ‘Adelaide Road’; diggers came again in 1853 during the first rush to Muckleford; and they came in their thousands in July 1854 when the rush began to the Maryborough goldfield. A township, named St Andrews, was surveyed at the crossing in June 1854, but by August it had been renamed Newstead. Sales of farming allotments nearby on Crown land in ‘delightful’ country were held in September. The following April the Newstead Hotel opened at the crossing where a bridge was erected shortly afterwards by Thomas Jones who also established a butcher’s shop and bakery. These tightly-clustered buildings, that possibly also included a mechanics’ institute, are depicted in a sketch made by Thomas Randall in October 1855.

However, despite these promising beginnings at Mingay’s Crossing, for some reason a second Newstead township site was surveyed upstream at its present site. Allotments were sold at Castlemaine in July 1856. By then the proprietors of the Newstead Hotel already had relocated their establishment to the new township site. Their hotel became the nucleus of the commercial centre that soon stretched east along Lyons Street towards rising ground. A primitive bridge and a punt connected this settlement with another, known as the Junction, on higher ground on the Loddon’s west bank. After the punt sank finally in July 1860 a strong timber toll bridge provided a more reliable link between the two settlements and it also attracted coach traffic between Castlemaine and Maryborough.

The grid-like layout of the Newstead township, separated by the Loddon River, is shown in the Plan of the Town and Suburban Lots, dated 30 May 1866 (Figure 2.4.1). In addition to the numerous commercial and residential allotments that had been created, it shows the original town location (identified by “reserve”) between Canrobert and Dundas Streets on the east side of the river. A police paddock was reserved on the west side of the river, to the north-west of the town (Figure 2.4.2). At the Junction, a large central allotment had been reserved as agricultural showgrounds.

By 1865 Newstead was ‘a busy little Place’ of about sixty residences and a township population of just over two hundred with another five hundred in the immediate vicinity and perhaps three thousand in the district. It was the service centre for quartz mines established nearby at Welshmans Reef, Mia Mia and Green Gully, and for small farms that had their first harvests in 1855. Several local industries were well-established: two flour mills, a bone mill, brickyards, a brewery, a ginger-beer factory, and a biscuit and confectionary factory. Downstream was a sawmill that used the steam engine salvaged from the submerged punt. Lining Lyons Street were the usual businesses common to most towns: a smithy, butcher’s shops, a bakery, general store, two hotels and other shops as outlined in Figures 2.4.3-2.4.4. On the north-east corner of Lyons and Panmure Streets in the early 1860s, Richard Rowe established a successful blacksmith, wheelwright and coach building business. An impressive mechanics’ institute was erected in brick in 1868. The Shire promoted beautification of the township in 1888 when it planted lines of trees in the streets and reserved three acres for recreation. Kerosene lamps served as street-lights until 1908 when the changeover began to acetylene gas lamps. Electricity connection, first proposed in 1888 and rejected because of the high cost, was made by the State Electricity Commission in 1937 after the decision to dredge at Strangways.

Dairying became a prosperous industry in the late nineteenth century and in 1905 a butter factory opened and operated until the 1970s. Further evidence of the town’s ability to survive by generating industries came in 1947 when an immigrant Polish couple named Givoni established a glove-making factory in the mechanics’ institute.

Beginning in 1860, Newstead was a local government headquarters for 135 years, first as a Road Board District, then, from 1865, as a Shire. After weekly visits from Maldon by a magistrate, and a police court held in the Baptist Chapel, the government built a Court of Petty Sessions on the higher ground at the corner of Canrobert and Wyndham Streets in 1863.

With the exception of the Primitive Methodists, who in 1860 built their Gothic chapel in Lyons Street, the higher ground became associated with government and religion. The one-acre police paddock was the first authority to be established, in 1860, followed by the courthouse, the Road Board office and the Baptist Church in 1863, the Anglican Church in 1868, a police residence in bluestone about 1870, a State School in red brick in 1877 and a new Shire Hall in 1907.

The widespread practice of locating institutions associated with legal and moral authority on elevated sites had another layer of significance at Newstead. The township’s high ground preserved them from the deluge that regularly afflicted commerce and labour on the flats below. But this was to change within two years of the disastrous flood of August 1909. In June 1910, the Shire Council adopted a long overdue, and at the time controversial, proposal of bootmaker Cr Edward Rowe to construct levée banks at the ratepayers’ expense. The earthen banks, sown with couch-grass, were completed by a Chinese contractor in April 1911 and since have protected the

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 39 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

township from most excesses of the capricious Loddon.

Distant from the threat of flooding was the construction of a railway station the agricultural show grounds reserve in the early 1870s.21 The Newstead Township Plan (reproduced 1962) (Figure 2.4.5) shows the location of the railway line that passed through Newstead from Castlemaine to Maryborough.

Additional beautification of the township came after World War One when Council representatives sought to plant an Avenue of Honour in memory of Newstead’s 180 volunteers.22 When this proposal became controversial due to the favoured site on the Strangways Road being on the Loddon River’s flood plain, several Shire Councillors preferred an obelisk instead.23 Yet, an avenue of honour of 53 oriental plane trees was officially opened by Brigadier General Charles Brand on 18 September 1919, on the Joyce’s Creek Road (Pyrenees Highway).24 Enthusiasm for an obelisk memorial had not abated with the opening of the avenue of honour. At a public meeting 17 October 1919, it was unanimously agreed to erect a memorial in the north- west corner of the vacant land opposite the railway station formerly the showgrounds reserve.25 The monument was unveiled on 12 November 1921 by Brigadier General Sir Thomas Glasgow.26 A fence had been erected around the monument and palm and other trees were planted.27 Just over 12 months later on 22 November 1922, the land upon which the memorial was located was reserved as a site for a public park.28

B. Description Precinct Boundaries (refer to precinct plan at the rear of this section)

The Newstead precinct is in three parts:

Part 1 Avenue of Honour Precinct The extent of this part is the avenue of trees on the entry to Newstead from the north east along the Pyrenees Highway. The area also includes landmark buildings in this area.

Part 2 West Newstead (originally known as the Junction) This is the area that developed to the west of the Loddon River around the railway station and the adjacent cultural and residential development. It is predominantly a small significant residential, commercial and cultural area within a picturesque rural setting. The area has a combination of modestly scaled, predominantly single storey houses and commercial buildings. A central feature of the town is the railway station and adjacent memorial reserve.

Part 3 Newstead – Commercial The area encompasses the main commercial, residential and cultural development in Newstead on the east side of the Loddon River and is predominantly a significant residential, commercial and cultural area centres around the main thoroughfare of Newstead, Lyons Street, which rises from the crossing point of the Loddon River and up to higher ground at the west, within a picturesque rural setting. Lyons Street has a combination of modestly scaled individually significant and contributory predominantly single storey houses and commercial buildings. Punctuating the precinct are the cross streets of Panmure, Hilliers and Wyndham Streets. Canrobert Street, with the significant court house building, forms the boundary on the south side of the precinct.

Buildings & Significant Details The Newstead heritage precinct is especially characterised by a range of predominantly detached residential buildings that have largely been built the 19th century and the interwar (1920s-1930s) era. There are also a number of significant commercial buildings constructed within the same date range, together with the 19th century primary school and churches and halls.

Houses Most of the significant and contributory houses are designed in a Victorian or Late Victorian style, with a lesser number of Edwardian and interwar dwellings. They are articulated with either a single or double front composition and are single storey in height. Most are modestly scaled with hipped and/or gabled roof forms with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees. The bulk of the houses feature narrow eaves, brick chimneys and feature front or return verandahs (either as simple skillions or convex forms). These buildings have brick, stone, render, horizontal timber weatherboard or timber imitation ashlar construction, with timber framed windows (predominantly double hung). The houses have predominantly corrugated steel roof cladding.

Generally, the front fencing to the houses is low and visually permeable with vegetation behind.

Garaging (including carports), sheds and other outbuildings are generally located towards the rear of the properties.

Commercial Buildings The majority of the commercial buildings have been built in the 19th and early 20th centuries, although there are some interwar shops. The two operating hotels, operating shops, former hotels, shops, banks and manufactories are constructed of brick, rendered brick and weatherboard. A number of the buildings feature parapets with hipped and/or gabled roof forms behind at a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees. Apart from the former National Bank of Australasia at the corner of Lyons and Hilliers Street, the Newstead Butter Factory in Tivey Street and the former mill in Panmure Street, the commercial buildings are single storey in height and modestly scaled. A

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 41 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

number of the buildings feature front skillion verandahs that project over the footpaths, and are supported by timber posts. There are some minimal advertising hoardings.

Some commercial buildings have brick chimneys that adorn the rooflines, and all have corrugated steel roof cladding. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves. Another feature to some buildings is the shopfronts, with ingoes and large glazed windows having stall boards and in others there are retained shop windows.

Signage is generally situated in the original/early parapet and verandah hoarding locations. There are various examples of advertising that are sympathetic and appropriate for the style of the building, such as the use of the gable apex in the former Nomens and Scheel Newstead Store in Lyons Street and in the parapets of the Crown Hotel and former Newstead General Store also in Lyons Street. Of special significance is the retained sign writing on the window of the former Newstead Boot Store in Lyons Street.

Other Buildings Within the western area of Lyons Street is a significant brick primary school building and in the eastern section is the former Newstead National School. Both buildings are of brick but differ in scale and illustrate the growth of education facilities in the town. There are a number of early churches in Newstead, on both sides of the Loddon. These range from small timber buildings with a single steeply pitched gable roof to larger brick buildings with intersecting steeply pitched gable roofs with porches. These single storey buildings have steeply pitched gabled roof forms clad in galvanised corrugated iron, most with steeply pitched gabled porches. There is also the significant brick court house in Canrobert Street with intersecting gable roofs clad in slate and granite sills and base. Other public buildings contributing the architectural character of the town are the Post Office, Police Residence and former Newstead Mechanics’ Institute in Lyons Street, the former Newstead Shire Offices in Wyndham Street and the Newstead Railway Station which forms the centre of the Newstead West part of the precinct. All of these buildings are built in brick.

C. Urban Design & Engineering Infrastructure The Newstead heritage precinct is especially characterised by its rural setting that contributes to the overall visual amenity of the township area.

The allotment sizes within the precinct vary from large residential blocks to smaller commercial allotments, although most reflect the original regular rectangular subdivisional layout. A notable feature is the substantial front setbacks to many of the houses, which range approximately between 5 and 15 metres. There is a range of narrow and wide side setbacks. Many of the houses are set within garden settings.

There are a number of significant views within the precinct to the nearby hills, along the Avenue of Honour, over the Loddon River plains and across the natural tree line of the Loddon River as it bisects the town. Other

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 42 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

important foci within the township are the former National Bank of Australasia at the corner of Lyons and Hilliers Streets, the Newstead Butter Factory in Tivey Street with its dominant brick chimney, the bluestone mill building in Panmure Street and the landscaped memorial park (including the war memorial and mature Canary Island palms and other edge planting) forms an important forecourt to the railway station.

Important engineering infrastructure in the precincts includes the gravelled verges to most of the roads and the early stone drains along the roadsides.

D. Landscaping There is substantial avenue tree planting within the township including the elms along Lyons Street and along Panmure, Hilliers and Wyndham Street. At the western end of Tivey Street is a substantial Eucalyptus camaldulensis tree that forms an important focus to the Newstead West precinct.

The Newstead Avenue of Honour flanking the Pyrenees Highway forms a significant gateway to the town from the west. The triangular landscaped memorial park adjacent to the railway station with its edge planting of single and double rows of deciduous trees and plantings of Canary Island Palms is also of importance. This area forms a significant gateway element as the town is entered from the Daylesford Road.

The substantial private gardens are especially characterised by native and exotic trees, shrubs and flowers, together with open grassed areas. Some contain significant mature exotic trees which contribute significantly to the precinct.

E. Statement of Cultural Significance The Newstead heritage precinct has significance as a predominantly intact 19th century township characterised by a notable number of modestly scaled houses, civic and commercial buildings. These buildings reflect Newstead’s importance as a service centre for the nearby quartz mines established at Welshmans Reef, Mia Mia and Green Gully from 1855. They are also an embodiment of the town’s further development into the early 20th century and the interwar (1920-30s) era. The houses have significance for their predominantly single storey height; hipped and gabled roofs clad in corrugated steel; brick, stone, render, fake timber ashlar and horizontal timber weatherboard wall construction; timber framed windows; narrow eaves; brick chimneys and front and/or return verandahs. The commercial buildings are also largely single storey, some feature parapets with hipped and/or gabled roof forms behind, brick, render or weatherboard wall construction, some with front projecting verandahs and shopfronts (some having ingoes and large windows with stall boards). The public buildings within the area further contribute to the importance of the area including the schools, halls, court house, railway station and churches. The avenues of trees in Lyons Street and along Panmure, Hilliers and Wyndham Streets, the avenue of honour of plane trees on the Pyrenees Highway, and the landscaped memorial park opposite the railway station with its Canary Island Palms and obelisk war memorial,

together with the early stone roadside drains, are significant legacies of commemorative, beautification and infrastructure developments to the 1920s.

The Newstead precinct is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria D.2, E.1). It demonstrates original and early design qualities associated with the residential, commercial and cultural development of the Newstead township.

The original design qualities of the residential buildings date from the 19th century to the interwar (1920s-30s) era and include: predominantly single storey height; hipped and gabled roof forms (with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees); modest eaves; corrugated steel roof cladding; horizontal timber weatherboard, timber cladding simulating ashlar blockwork, stone render or brick wall construction; timber framed windows (mainly double hung); brick chimneys; and front and/or return verandahs. The low height and visually permeability of some fencing also contributes to the significance of the area, as does the rear location of garaging and carports.

The original design qualities of the commercial buildings include: single or double storey height; brick or timber weatherboard wall construction; hipped and/or gabled roof forms (with a pitch between 25 and 35 degrees); narrow eaves, parapets on the main elevations (with signage); front skillion verandahs that project over the footpaths; shop windows, shopfronts with ingoes and stall boards and the brick chimneys. The 19th century primary school, court house, halls, railway station and churches also contribute to the architectural significance of the Newstead precinct.

The Newstead precinct is aesthetically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria E.1). The significant visual qualities include the important views to the nearby hills and the Avenue of Honour of plane trees on the Pyrenees Highway to the west. The visual amenity of the precinct also relies on the retention of important landmarks including the former National Bank of Australasia at the corner of Lyons and Hilliers Streets, the Newstead Butter Factory in Tivey Street with its dominant brick chimney, the bluestone mill building in Panmure Street and the landscaped memorial park adjacent to the railway station.

The Newstead precinct is historically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criterion A.4). It is associated with the development of the Newstead township from the 1850s, as a result of the goldrush when Newstead was conveniently located within a mining area and on the main road between the thriving goldfields at Ballarat and Castlemaine. The first land sale was held in 1856 and soon after there were a number of buildings that serviced the local area. The surviving houses, commercial buildings, school, halls, railway station and churches built between the 19th century and the interwar era, together with the grid-like layout of the town, are legacies of the evolution and development of the town.

Overall, the Newstead precinct is of LOCAL significance.

2.5 Vaughan Heritage Precinct

A. Historical Overview 29 A township emerged as if ‘overnight’ during the 1853 rush to The Junction where there was a tremendous concentration of diggers. Three years later government surveyors named it after Melbourne businessman and parliamentarian Charles Vaughan, a prominent Victorian Baptist.

The Bank of Victoria built a branch in brick. In 1855, a busy year for builders at Vaughan, gold buyers C. Ball and his nephew W.H. Welch began a drapery shop in Burgoyne Street for which Mrs Ball imported frocks from London. The business prospered; ‘women for miles around would drive into Vaughan to patronise the Store.’ The Junction Hotel opened in a calico tent until it was replaced by a weatherboard building. Two other hotels were the Union and the Mont Belot. Rodgers’ Aerated Water Factory was in a sandstone building demolished only in the late twentieth century. A cordial factory was near the bridge and a bakery adjacent to Ball & Welch’s shop. Vaughan’s Wesleyan community built a stone church on the hillside above the town in 1858 where today it survives as ‘a picturesque ruin’.

After the first rush Vaughan’s population declined dramatically to 169 in 1861 with over five hundred in the immediate vicinity. This doubled after tunnelling began for the deep leads beneath Table Hill and Bald Hill. By 1865, the ‘village’ had a police court and court of petty sessions, a post office, a bank, two hotels and a regular coach service to Castlemaine. Local residences doubled to about three hundred. They were built from local materials: log huts with chimneys made of clay or bark and cottages of mud brick.

The majority of building development in these early years was confined to the sites flanking Burgoyne and Greville Streets, as outlined in the Vaughan Township Plan (Figure 2.5.1). A glimpse of the early village character of Vaughan is revealed in a photograph of 1868 (Figure 2.5.2). It shows the pattern of development of the settlement from the confluence of the Loddon River and Fryers Creek, with the gold mining activity clearly evident in the foreground adjacent to the bridges. Secondary mining activities stretched beyond the river and creek beds as shown in the denuded landscape. Of interest was the myriad of small buildings fronting Burgoyne Street and beyond on the rising ground. The Wesleyan Methodist Church (now ruinous) stood proudly on elevated ground to the far left of the photograph.

Vaughan’s population might have been considered small, but its central location in the United Shire of Mount Alexander was ideal as the Shire’s headquarters and, in 1871, the courthouse became the Shire Hall. As well, the township serviced a populous district. At Bald Hill, James Sinclair opened a store and, in 1856, Benjamin Edhouse a brewery. Nearby was a large and allegedly ‘filthy’ Chinese camp where the ‘stench arising from the heaps of

29 This history has been taken from Phil Taylor, Newstead Heritage Study Environmental History unless otherwise referenced.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 53 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

offal’ was ‘quite intolerable’ (a Chinese cemetery was established on elevated ground in Greville Street). The Waterloo Hotel opened in 1857 and held lavish banquets and concerts. The same year, half a mile east of Vaughan and past quartz-rich Red Hill, the Shamrock Hotel was built in a locality known as Irishtown. The district’s sole Roman Catholic Church was consecrated there in June 1865. Built of brick it could accommodate a congregation of four hundred.

Vaughan had relied on its alluvial gold and deep leads and when these were gone the diggers departed. Sinclair sold his store at Bald Hill in 1861 and moved to Guildford where he opened his London House drapery business. In 1882, Ball & Welch transferred their business to Castlemaine. The township population in 1891 was just 24 and there were 13 inhabited dwellings. Clara Ely’s recollection of Vaughan about 1905, however, is valuable not only as a personal reminiscence, but also because it retains memories she inherited. Here fifty years are compressed into a single nostalgic view:

From the top of [Bald Hill] you had a splendid view of Vaughan. On the right hand side you could see Cornish town. There were homes and little gardens right along the side of the hill, and houses seemed to be dotted everywhere. Then you came across the road from Tarilta to Vaughan. There were many houses on either side, and Middleton’s Grocery Shop, which was burned down. Crossing the bridge on the left hand side, was the Loddon, until you came to a bridge where Fryer’s Creek flowed into the Loddon. On the other side of the Creek, and still on your left was Belot’s bakery. Next was Merrin’s Store, and then, I think, Ball & Welch’s. At one time there was a shop where people from the ’Maine could get afternoon tea when tired after shopping at Ball & Welch’s. Further on there were more houses and the post office. On the hill behind were the Bible Christian Chapel and the Primitive Methodist Chapel, surrounded by homes. A little further on was the Common School, a good substantial building. Just in front was the Wesleyan Chapel, and then there were homes to the top of the hill. The Roman Catholic Church was a little further on, between Vaughan and Fryerstown. On our right hand coming away from Vaughan, we could see — where the Chinese Cemetery is now — headstones and some white fences. But there were houses everywhere along the sides of the hills, along the Loddon and in the gullies. Roger’s Bakery and store were near the bank of the Loddon. There were some good homes along the bank of the Fryer’s Creek, and facing the Loddon. There was also the Chinese Camp, with many two-storied Chinese shops. Richards’ General Store was near the bridge. ... I think it was destroyed by fire [about 1917] and with it all the Chinese buildings. Across the bridge were Spurling’s Butcher shop and the police station, and Mr. Barker’s Chemist shop. ... Then there were the Bank and Dr. Malcolm’s house, almost opposite Ball & Welch. Further on there were Rodda’s Butcher shop, Jackson the Dairyman, the Registrar of Births and Deaths, and an undertaker’s and more homes to the top of the hill. Behind there were houses everywhere.

Although the demise in gold mining activity at Vaughan brought about its decline in population and development, the years from the early 20th century until at least the 1950s witnessed a revival in interest in the town as a tourist destination. Impetus for this revival came from the Vaughan Mineral Springs. Centrally located in the town in the Loddon River valley, a small area had first been reserved in 1878 and by 1881 all the mineral springs were protected by reservations of 100 links (20 metres) on each bank of the river.30 In July 1912, the Shire reported that the springs were very popular and that

the Castlemaine Borough Council and the Castlemaine Progress Association wished to plant trees at the springs and provide better access for the public.31 As shown in Figure 2.5.3, all that existed at this time was one hole that had been scraped out of the rock so that mineral water could be obtained, rock work around the spring and a road down to it. The natural landscape that once comprised and surrounded the mineral springs had been completely altered by gold mining activity. In 1925, a Committee of Management was appointed to improve the mineral springs reserve.32 The following year, the Committee had planted a large number of trees, enclosed in concrete a spring at the west end and made water available to the public.33

These initial improvements continued to increase the popularity of the mineral springs reserve which in turn brought about interest in Vaughan as a holiday retreat. During the 1930s and 1940s, further beautification works were carried out including the construction of a rotunda, stone retaining walls, running track, miniature train and railway, and a giant slide.34 In 1937, a motor car run to the mineral springs was held by members of the Castlemaine centre of the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria to ‘direct attention to the springs.’35 Such attention was certainly created as an estimated gathering of 3000 people attended a sporting and family day at the reserve on Boxing Day 1939.36 The marketing of Vaughan by officers of the tourist branch from Melbourne in May of that year appears to have contributed to the large attendance.37 Such popularity continued in the 1950s (Figure 2.5.4). Dwellings were built as holiday homes during these years and after World War Two. Some had been relocated, with the house at 37 Greville Street being of particular interest given that its construction included old railway carriages.

B. Description Precinct Boundaries (refer to precinct plan at the rear of this section) The Vaughan heritage precinct represents a cultural heritage landscape defined by remnants of a former 19th century gold mining town within a picturesque rural setting. The main central road (comprising Burgyone and Greville Streets), runs parallel to the valley of the Loddon River and descends from the surrounding hills to the west to the junction of the Loddon River and Fryers Creek and then ascends again to the east. The area also includes Tarilta Road from its intersection with Greville Street to the top of the rise to the south. Much of the area to the south and south east of the precinct forms part of the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park and land to the north west is also included within the park. The surviving historic fabric represents an important combination of modestly scaled single storey houses, former commercial buildings, ruins, archaeological sites, road systems, drainage culverts and bridges. Central features of the precinct are the junction of the two waterways and the bridges and the Vaughan Mineral Springs reserve.

Buildings & Significant Details The Vaughan heritage precinct is especially characterised by its small number of historic predominantly detached residential and former commercial buildings. They mainly reflect the earliest period of development of the town, as part of the 19th century gold rushes and as a consequence of the town status as the headquarters of the United Shire of Mount Alexander from 1871. To a lesser degree, the buildings are a legacy of interwar and postwar development associated with the Vaughan Mineral Springs as a holiday retreat. Some of the buildings of the 20th century have been relocated as holiday houses.

The area is also significant for its high potential for archaeological significance with a number of identified ruins and many indications of former habitations and other buildings.

Houses Most of the significant and contributory houses are designed in a Victorian or Late Victorian style, although there are some interwar and early postwar era dwellings reflective of the important developmental eras of the town. These houses are mainly single storey in height, modestly scaled and have gabled and/or hipped roof forms 25 and 40 degrees. Also of interest are the barrel- vaulted roof forms to the dwellings in Greville Street, as well as the former railway carriage house, being reflective of the holiday homes in the area. The bulk of the houses feature narrow eaves, brick chimneys and front or return verandahs (either as simple skillions or convex forms). These buildings are of horizontal timber weatherboard construction, with timber framed windows (predominantly double hung). All the houses have corrugated steel roof cladding.

Generally, the front fencing to the houses is low and visually permeable with vegetation behind.

Garaging (including carports), sheds and other outbuildings are generally located towards the rear of the properties.

Commercial Building There is only one surviving 19th century commercial building in the town. Although altered, its original character and appearance is discernible. It is constructed of brick and now features a parapet with a skillion roof form behind. The building has brick chimneys that adorn the roofline, and a corrugated steel roof cladding. The building retains its central doorway and door and flanking timber framed, double hung windows.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 56 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 2

Other Buildings Within the area of the precinct are two known ruins, dating from the 19th century; one is the stone ruin of the Wesleyan Methodist Church and the other the footings of the former Ball and Welch Store. There are numerous smaller ruins and land forms indicating footings, former buildings, roadways and infrastructure within the precinct. These archaeological sites make an important contribution to the Vaughan cultural heritage landscape.

C. Urban Design & Engineering Infrastructure The Vaughan heritage precinct is especially characterised by its rural setting that substantially contributes to the overall visual quality of the Vaughan township.

The allotment sizes within the precinct vary from large residential blocks to smaller commercial allotments, a consequence of the original gold mining activity of the town. A notable feature is the varying front setbacks to the houses. There is a range of narrow and wide side setbacks. Some of the houses are set within garden settings.

There are a number of significant views from within the precinct to the nearby encircling hills which form an important visual backdrop to the township and to the valley of the Loddon River and the valley of Fryers Creek with their tree lined banks.

The two bridges crossing the waterways contribute to the significance of the area. Although both have been rebuilt, they retain the form, materials and the stone abutments of the original bridges.

Other engineering infrastructure for the Vaughan precinct also contributes to the rural character of the area. This infrastructure includes the gravelled verges to the roads and the remaining stone street gutters (which are particularly evident in Burgoyne Street) and cross overs which mark the entrance to properties.

D. Landscaping The dominant significant, landscape features of the precinct is the Vaughan Springs Reserve with its exotic tree planting, stone walling and structures. The tree lined banks of the Loddon River and Fryers Creek are also significant. The indigenous planting in the Vaughan Chinese cemetery is also a significant area of landscaping within the precinct.

The private gardens are especially characterised by native and exotic trees, shrubs and flowers, together with open grassed areas.

However, it is the evolved organic landscape of the Vaughan township set within the confluence of the Loddon River and Fryers Creek and the surrounding steeply-sloping topography that especially characterises the heritage precinct today.

E. Statement of Cultural Significance The Vaughan heritage precinct has significance as an important cultural heritage landscape defined by the remnant fabric of the 19th century gold mining township set within the steeply-sloping topography of the Loddon River valley. Its importance is especially identified in the small number of surviving 19th century residential, commercial and other buildings of the gold era, 19th century road systems and subdivision patterns, 19th century infrastructure (bridge abutments and drainage culverts), and in the broader evolved organic landscape which especially characterises the township today. The township of Vaughan grew from the gold rush of 1853 and as the headquarters of the United Shire of Mount Alexander from 1871. Today, the landscape has high archaeological potential, with the natural environment having conformed to human occupation from the 19th century. The archaeology in the town is especially manifested in the surviving ruins of the former Wesleyan Methodist Church off Burgoyne Street and more broadly in the numerous smaller ruins and land forms indicating footings, former buildings, roadways and infrastructure. The Vaughan Mineral Springs (first reserved in 1878) provides a central landscape core to the precinct, as does the confluence of the Loddon River and Fryers Creek that further contribute to Vaughan’s picturesque setting. The exotic trees, stone retaining walls and associated structures in the Mineral Springs dating from the early 20th century further contribute to the significance of the precinct, as do the few 20th century dwellings that reflect the early era of tourism in the town.

The Vaughan precinct is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria D.2, E.1). It demonstrates original and early design qualities associated with the residential and commercial development of the Vaughan precinct.

The original design qualities of the 19th century residential buildings include: single storey height; gabled roof forms (with a roof pitch between 25 and 40 degrees); modest eaves; corrugated steel roof cladding; horizontal timber weatherboard, wall construction; timber framed windows (mainly double hung); brick chimneys; and front and/or return verandahs. The low height and visually permeability of some fencing also contributes to the significance of the area, as does the rear location of garaging and carports.

The original design qualities of the early 20th century residential buildings include: single storey height; gabled and curved roof forms; modest eaves; corrugated steel roof cladding; horizontal timber weatherboard, wall construction; timber framed windows (mainly double hung) and brick chimneys.

The Vaughan precinct is aesthetically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criteria E.1). The significant visual qualities include the important uninterrupted views to the nearby encircling hills; the tree lined banks of the Loddon River and Fryers Creek; the exotic planting, stone walls and structures of the Vaughan Mineral Springs Reserve and the native plantings of the Vaughan Chinese Cemetery represent other significant visual qualities.

The Vaughan precinct is historically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC criterion A.4). It is associated with the development of the Vaughan township from the 1850s, as a result of the goldrush when Vaughan was located within a mining area. The surviving 19th and early 20th century houses, commercial building, church and other ruins, together with the layout of the town are a legacy of the goldrush era. The location of the Mineral Springs and their use for recreational and health reasons, including their high level popularity in the early 20th century, also add to the historic significance of the precinct.

Overall, the Vaughan precinct is of LOCAL significance.

3.0 Specific Individual Places As a result of the informal exhibition by the Mount Alexander Shire a number of submissions were received by the Mount Alexander Shire. Changes to places were also noted in the years since Stage 1 of the study was undertaken in 1998. The initial response to the brief allowed for review of 16 citations. The original list of places to be reviewed included 22 places as the result of 16 submissions. Subsequently the list of places to be reviewed increased to 38. These reviewed citations are included as Appendix 5.12.

Other changes were made to citations as a result of the field work to review the precincts. A number of minor changes to the citations were made, including correcting addresses and as a result of the review 4 citations have been revised and it is recommended that 22 new citations be prepared.

An updated electronic copy of all the citations included in the original study has been prepared including all the corrections and alterations to citations.

“The assessment of cultural significance and the preparation of a statement do not involve or take account of such issues as the necessity for conservation action, legal constraints, possible uses, structural stability or costs and returns … “

In relation to the latter issue of condition, the Advisory Committee Report on the Review of Heritage Provisions in Planning Schemes, August 2007, page 2-48 (the Committee having been appointed by the Minister for Planning) recommended that:

“While intactness should be relevant in an assessment of significance, condition or structural integrity should not influence the inclusion of a place in a HO.”

The following citations were reviewed in response to submissions and requests from the Mount Alexander Shire. The review has resulted in the following:  29 places were confirmed as of Local Significance.  4 places were confirmed as of Contributory Significance within a Precinct.  3 place was changed from Local Significance to Conservation Desirable  1 place changed from Contributory Significance to Conservation Desirable  1 place is already covered by a Heritage Overlay.

4.0 Recommendations 4.1 Heritage Precincts 4.1.1 It is recommended that heritage overlays be applied to the five (5) revised heritage precincts at Campbells Creek, Fryerstown, Guildford, Newstead and Vaughan as outlined in this Review.

4.1.2 It is recommended that the significance status for each of the following places be amended in each of the precincts:

Campbells Creek  51 Main Road – dwelling at rear of site adjacent to railway line (contributory significance).  Main Road – Avenue of Honour (local significance) (between 113 Main Rd east side & 92 Main Rd west side, & 120 Midland Hwy east side & 127 Midland Hwy west side).

Fryerstown  13 Heron Street: Treed land comprising the former National School Reserve (contributory significance).  Opp. 2 High Street: Stone Bridge abutments and stone creek embankments (contributory significance).  Opp. 60 High Street: Stone Bridge abutments (contributory significance).  Lot 13, 26 High Street: Mine Dump (contributory significance).  Opp. 32 High Street: Perseverance Mine Dump (contributory significance).  2 Market Street: Park, including Eucalyptus & Cypress Trees (contributory significance).

Guildford  1 Ballarat Street: Reserve (formerly part of Russell Square) (contributory significance).  Parker Street: John Powell Reserve (formerly Russell Square) (contributory significance.

Newstead  3 Creswick Newstead Road: Dwelling (contributory significance.)  1 Lyons Street: The Shambles (3 shops) (contributory significance).  23 Lyons Street: Dwelling (contributory significance).  25 Lyons Street: Butcher’s Shop (contributory significance).  3 Tivey Street: Dwelling (contributory significance).  8 Tivey Street: Shed (contributory significance).

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 72 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 5

 VN/13, Tarilta Road: Tarilta Road Bridge (bridge now included in heritage precinct – no change to significance).

4.1.3 Although it is outside of the scope of this Review to re-examine the proposed heritage precinct policies for the Mt Alexander Shire Planning Scheme, the following is recommended for the Fryerstown and Vaughan Heritage Precincts:

 Consideration be given to more broadly defined policy for future building development. It could include promoting: new buildings of a range of forms and designs, and of contextually modest (single storey) scales that do not impose on or detract from the significant heritage landscape setting and/or neighbouring significant buildings; construction materials that are not highly reflective within the landscape; recessive garaging and/or carports, and visually permeable residential front fences to 1200-1300 mm heights of designs and construction that are contemporary interpretations of front fencing in the precinct and respond to the designs of the new buildings.

 Consideration be given to the high archaeological potential of these precincts. As all archaeological sites are protected under the Heritage Act 1995, consent is required from Heritage Victoria to disturb them. Therefore, it is recommended that policy be prepared that reflects this legislation. Consideration could be given to the following: “Where ground disturbance uncovers archaeological evidence of 19th century gold mining and associated building activity, works should cease until notification has been made with and approval given by Heritage Victoria for works to proceed, in accordance with the Victorian Heritage Act 1995.”

 Any policy or incorporated document that includes the lists of non- significant places for these places be treated differently given the high archaeological potential of these areas as set out in the statements of significance for the Vaughan and Fryerstown precincts.

 Exotic trees on public land and road reserves at outlined in the precinct statements of significance be identified as tree controls for each of the heritage overlays in the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay.

4.2 Individual Places Outside Precincts (removed from Revised Precincts) 4.2.1 It is recommended that individual heritage overlays apply to those places of local significance previously located within the heritage precincts (and now excluded from them). These places are:

Campbells Creek Precinct  CC/80: 10A Princess.  CC/82: 12 Princess Street.  CC/85: 24 Princess Street.

Wendy Jacobs: Architect & Heritage Consultant & Dr David Rowe: Authentic Heritage Services Pty Ltd 73 Review of the Shire of Newstead Heritage Study & Specific Individual Places 2011 Section 5

Guildford Precinct No change recommended.

Newstead Precincts  ND/16 Pair of Dwellings: 8 Church Street (significance change from local (precinct) significance to local (individual) significance).  ND/63 Major Mitchell Cairn: Pyrenees Highway (significance changed from local (precinct) significance to local (individual) significance as part of Rotunda Park).  ND/64 Band Rotunda: Pyrenees Highway (significance changed from local (precinct) significance to local (individual) significance as part of Rotunda Park).  ND/88 Williams House: 3 Wyndham Street (significance changed from local (precinct) significance to local (individual) significance).  ND/89 Clarke House: 9 Wyndham Street (significance changed from local (precinct) significance to local (individual) significance).

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Roberts House Place No: CC/13 ADDRESS: 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek (Township) OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The weatherboard house, 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although in poor condition, it appears to be substantially intact and demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with the gable that projects towards the front. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall construction on a stone base; galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; narrow eaves; three unpainted brick chimneys with corbelled tops; timber framed double hung windows, particularly the twelve paned windows; central doorway; decorative, carved fretwork timber bargeboards and turned timber finial to the projecting gable; hip-roofed verandah supported on timber posts with curved timber brackets; and the capped timber verandah balustrade with crossed timber panels between the balusters. The open grassed setting, along with the scattering of trees, also make a contribution to the significance of the place. The house also contributes to the character of the Campbells Creek township, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings.

The weatherboard house, 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early years of the settlement of the Campbells Creek township, and with the Roberts family,early miners, who initially built it in the early 1860s on land granted to them by the Crown in 1860. The dwelling is therefore a tangible legacy of the mining era in Campbells Creek.

Overall the weatherboard house, 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site is characterised by a weatherboard house that is set well back from the street frontage in an open grassed paddock, which slopes up into a tree covered hill at the rear. There are a few trees, some of which look like fruit trees, scattered beside and behind the house.

This single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian vernacular house is partly built into the slope of the hill and is elevated on a lightly rendered stone base, more than a metre above the ground at the front. The asymmetrical shape of the house is characterised by a hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with a gabled roof form on one side that projects towards the front. This latter section may have been erected later than the main entrance section of the house, which features a minor hipped verandah at the front. The roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. Three early unpainted brick chimneys with corbelled tops adorn the roofline. Two symmetrical, timber framed, twelve paned, double hung windows under the front verandah appear to be original, but the centrally located door may be introduced. The timber framed, double hung window on the gable end of the projecting section appears to be early and may be original. The decorative, carved fretwork timber bargeboards and turned timber finial to the projecting gable are notable. The verandah is supported by timber posts, which feature curved timber brackets. The capped timber balustrade features crossed timber panels between the balusters. The stair access to the verandah is not evident and may have been removed from a central position to a side location.

HISTORY: The land on which this house is located (Allotment 114 of Section 1A in the Parish of Castlemaine) was granted to W. Roberts in February 1860. The first rates made by the Campbells Creek Roads Board were recorded in November 1863 and at this time a William Roberts Snr is

In January 1871, William Roberts Snr is no longer rated for any property in the area and William Roberts appears to have taken over the house, now simply described as having three rooms, on 'Cemetery Hill'. This is a name that well characterises the present location of the house, which is adjacent to the cemetery and on the slopes of a gentle hill. The entry for William Roberts' property in the 1872 Mount Alexander Shire Rate Book (the rates were made in February 1872) records his occupation, that of 'Miner', for the first time.

It has not been established how long the Roberts family owned this house. From the early 1900s it is said to have been owned by Bob Fenton, who was also associated with the adjacent property (CC/14).

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Fenton House Place No: CC/14 ADDRESS: 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek (Township) OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The weatherboard house, 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although it is in a somewhat dilapidated condition, it appears to be substantially intact and demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the gabled roof form that traverses the site, together with the gable that projects towards the front. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall construction on a stone base; galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; narrow eaves; three unpainted brick chimneys with corbelled tops; timber framed, twelve paned, double hung windows; central doorway and early four-panelled door; decorative, carved fretwork timber bargeboards to the projecting gable; decorative timber paling frieze with zigzag edges to the side porch; and the front skillion roofed verandah supported on carved timber posts with curved timber brackets. The open grassed setting, along with the scattering of trees, also make a contribution to the significance of the place. The house also contributes to the character of the Campbells Creek township, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings.

The weatherboard house, 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early years of the settlement of the Campbells Creek township, and with William Fenton, a carter, who built it in the early 1860s on land granted to him by the Crown. It is notable that the Fenton family continued to have a long association with the house, into the 20th century.

Overall the weatherboard house, 4 Cemetery Avenue, Campbells Creek, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site is characterised by a weatherboard house that is set a short distance back from the street frontage in a paddock, which slopes up into a tree covered hill at the rear. There are a number of trees that look like fruit trees scattered in front of and behind the house.

This single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian vernacular house is partly built into the slope of the hill and is elevated on a rubble stone base, approximately a metre above the ground at the front. The asymmetrical shape of the house is characterised by a gabled roof form that traverses the site, together with a gabled roof form on one side that projects towards the front. This latter section may have been erected a few years later than the main entrance section of the house, which features a shallow concave-shaped skillion verandah at the front. There is also a weatherboard walled, skillion roofed extension at the rear with a later skillion roofed porch, which features a decorative paling timber frieze with zigzag edges. An introduced, inappropriate, fibre-cement clad room is located at the rear of the house, off the porch. The roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. Three early unpainted brick chimneys with corbelled tops adorn the roofline. Two symmetrical, timber framed, twelve paned, double hung windows under the front verandah appear to be original, as does the centrally located, four-panelled timber door. The timber framed, double hung window on the gable end of the projecting section has been recently boarded over. The decorative, carved fretwork timber bargeboards to the projecting gable are notable. The verandah is supported by carved timber posts, which feature curved timber brackets. The stair access to the verandah is not evident and may have been removed from a central position. The weatherboards on one end wall have been partly replaced with fibre-cement sheets.

HISTORY: The land on which this house is located (Allotment 115 of Section 1A in the Parish of Castlemaine) was granted to W.R. Fenton in February 1864. However, he appears to have been associated with the land before this date. The first rates made by the Campbells Creek Roads Board were recorded in November 1863 and at this time a William Fenton is described as owning a four room 'wood' house on 'Cemetery Hill'. This is a name that well characterises the present location of the house, which is adjacent to the cemetery and on the slopes of a gentle hill. The entry for William Fenton's property in the 1872 Mount Alexander Shire Rate Book (the rates were made in February 1872) records his occupation, that of 'Carter', for the first time.

It appears that the Fenton family continued to own the house for some length of time. Bob Fenton is said to have owned it in the early 1900s and it was later occupied by his son, George. Bob Fenton was also associated with the adjacent property (CC/13).

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Former Oddfellows Lodge Place No: CC/54 ADDRESS: 90 Main Road, Campbells Creek (Township) OTHER NAME/S: Gray's Cordial Factory, Hellewege's Cordial Factory 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The former Oddfellows Hall, 90 Main Road, Campbells Creek, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates some original design qualities of a Victorian style hall. These qualities include the parapeted facade, behind which there is a gabled roof with corrugated galvanised roof cladding and narrow eaves. Other intact qualities include the brick wall construction; the rendered, three-panelled parapet which includes a small triangular pediment, and a middle panel with curved shoulders; the rendered mouldings that emphasise the edges of the panels; the unadorned lower facade with centrally located, timber framed doorway over an arched transom. Other later, but appropriate qualities include the horizontal weatherboard extension of the original hall and the skillion side wing.

The former hall also contributes to the character of the Campbells Creek township, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings, and it is a prominent and significant building in the streetscape of the main road through Campbells Creek.

The former Oddfellows Hall, 90 Main Road, Campbells Creek, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early years of the settlement of the Campbells Creek township, and with the Grand United Order of Oddfellows, a friendly society that provided financial support to its members and their families in times of hardship due to illness, unemployment, or death. This branch of the Oddfellows appears to have been established in Campbells Creek in the early 1860s and the hall was erected c.1863. The former hall is of further historic significance for its later use as a cordial factory, established by brothers John and Albert Gray in 1901, the year that they purchased the building from the Oddfellows. The association with cordial manufacture was continued by Hellewege from c.1938 to c.1951 and after 1851 by E. Corrie.

The former Oddfellows Hall, 90 Main Road, Campbells Creek, is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is recognised and valued by members of the community for its later long-term use as a cordial factory.

Overall, the former Oddfellows Hall, 90 Main Road, Campbells Creek, is of LOCAL significance.

Note: The Interwar bungalow on the site has no significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site is characterised by a brick hall, which was converted into a cordial factory and later a residence, and is set back a short distance from the street frontage. The building is a prominent element in the streetscape along the main road through the Campbells Creek township.

The single-storey, painted brick, Victorian style former hall is characterised by a parapeted facade, which conceals a gabled roof form clad in corrugated galvanised iron. The distinctive parapet above the unadorned facade is surmounted by a small triangular pediment joined to the lower part of the parapet by a middle panel with curved shoulders. The three rendered panel segments of the parapet have their edges emphasised by rendered mouldings. The centrally located timber framed doorway has an arched head over an arched transom. The door is introduced.

At a later stage the rear of the building and the gable roofline have been extended by a short distance. The walls have been clad with horizontal weatherboards. There is also a small weatherboard clad skillion roofed extension to one side of this later extension.

HISTORY: The land on which this former Oddfellows Hall is located (Allotment 60 of Section 1B in the Parish of Castlemaine) was granted to P. Ferrie and E. Turtrom in August 1863. By November 1863, the date when the first rates made by the Campbells Creek Roads Board were recorded, a Lodge Room for a branch of Oddfellows in Campbells Creek had been built. Later entries indicate that this branch was part of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows (GUOOF). Although it has been claimed that this building was the Rechabites Hall this can been disproved by the history of the building that actually was the Rechabites Hall (CC/44) and by other records. In October 1872, a newspaper article on the opening of the new Church of England at Campbells Creek (CC/58) described it as being located directly opposite the Oddfellow's Hall. In 1901, the building was taken over by the Cordial Maker, Albert Gray, and it was described in the rate entry as 'Building (formerly Hall)'. It had previously been described in Rate Book entries variously as 'Lodge Room', 'Hall' and 'house', all in the ownership of the GUOOF.

The history of the Oddfellow society is complicated and historians disagree as to the dates of its origins but essentially it was one of a number of Friendly Societies that formed in the late 18th century. According to Allan B. Miller, a Grand Master of the GUOOF in NSW, they grew to their greatest strength from a social necessity following the Industrial Revolution in England. Groups of ordinary people from tradesmen to labourers and whole communities found it necessary to band together and contribute part of their hard-earned wages to a common fund to cater for the unfortunate circumstances of life such as sickness, injury at work and even death. This mutual aid provided relief to the victims and their families when there was nothing else. The various Orders of the Oddfellows include the Manchester Unity Group (MUIOOF), the Independent Order (IOOF), and the Grand United Order (GUOOF). The latter was first established in Sydney in the 1840s and grew throughout Australia. It is still in operation.

There also appears to have been a different Order of Oddfellows established in Campbells Creek in late 1862 as well as a branch of another friendly society, the Ancient Order of Foresters. In October 1862, the Mount Alexander Mail noted that a local publican, Francis Stephens of the Bath Arms (CC/36) was about to erect a building for a new lodge of Foresters and that another branch of the Oddfellows (MUIOOF) was to be established at the same place. This would seem to indicate that the GUOOF was already established in the township by that time. According to local historian Ray Bradfield, who was probably referring to a Mail newspaper article, a street procession was held in September 1862 to celebrate the Anniversary of the GUOOF. The occasion was also apparently used to announce the newly declared Campbells Creek and Vaughan District, with membership at Campbells Creek being 62, and 40 at Vaughan. The MUIOOF celebrated their second anniversary at the Standard Hotel in October 1864 and both it and the Foresters Lodge were said to have been active in Campbells Creek for many years. The GUOOF owned their Hall until sometime in 1901 when it was purchased by Albert Gray, who established a cordial making factory there with his brother, John. They are said to have been apprenticed to a Mr. Poulson, who was the first aerated water manufacturer in Campbells Creek, having established himself in c.1855-1856.

The Gray Brothers, as they called their business, operated their factory until 1938, when it was purchased by Hellewege, a Castlemaine merchant. He is said to have also manufactured cordial. An Ernest Corrie purchased the building in 1951 and continued making cordial. The present owners purchased the place c.1995.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Ferguson's Bootmakers and House Place No: CC/68 ADDRESS: 145 Main Road, Campbells Creek (Township) OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The brick and weatherboard house, 145 Main Road, Campbells Creek, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although the front facade has been altered by the replacement of an original window or entry, the building demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the main gabled roof form, the secondary gabled roof forms, and the hipped verandah across the front. Other intact qualities include the weatherboard wall construction of the rear sections; the brick wall construction of the front section; the corrugated galvanised iron roof cladding; modest eaves; the unpainted brick chimneys, two with basic corbelled tops; the timber framed doorway; the timber framed, four-paned, double hung windows. The house contributes to the character of the Campbells Creek township, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings, and it is a prominent and significant building in the streetscape of the main road through Campbells Creek.

The brick and weatherboard house, 145 Main Road, Campbells Creek, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early years of the settlement of the Campbells Creek township and demonstrates the characteristic 19th century business practice of building a shop and residence under the same roof. It is particularly associated with Robert Ferguson, a bootmaker who built the weatherboard section in the early 1860s, on land granted to him by the Crown in 1860, and extended the building in brick in 1868. The early association with Ferguson continued into the 20th century and the building was also used as a shop and residence by later owners.

Overall, the brick and weatherboard house, 145 Main Road, Campbells Creek, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site is dominated by the single storied brick building with front verandah constructed to the street boundary. The building occupies the majority of the street frontage. There is a side driveway behind a set of high metal gates. The building is a prominent element in the streetscape along the main road through the Campbells Creek township.

The single-storey brick and weatherboard Victorian vernacular house, which was erected as part residence and part shop, is characterised by a main gabled roof form that traverses the site. Running parallel to the brick section is a second gabled roofed weatherboard section and a third gabled roof form that projects at right angles to the rear of the site. Along the front of the building there is a hipped verandah, the main face of which is a direct continuation of the main roof pitch. The roof forms are clad in galvanised, corrugated iron, some of which has been painted. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. Unpainted brick chimneys, with basic corbelled tops, adorn the complex roofline. The rear sections of the building are clad in horizontal weatherboard and appear from research to include the first part of the building to be erected. The dominant front section is of brick and was erected only a few years after. The front brick facade is unpainted, while the side gable walls are rendered and painted. The front facade has an asymmetrically placed timber framed doorway on the left side, flanked by early timber framed, four-paned, double hung windows. There is another doorway to the right of the facade. There is a larger window opening to the left of this doorway. This window appears to have replaced an original window or entry and some of the original brickwork around it has been replaced and a concrete lintel installed. The verandah is supported on simple chamfered timber posts and there are the remnants of a simple timber valance. (By 2011 the verandah posts appear to have been replaced with simple timber posts. There is now no remnant decoration.) The verandah floor is of later concrete construction and is slightly raised above the adjacent footpath by two shallow steps. The sides of

HISTORY: The land on which this house is located (Allotment 27 of Section 1B in the Township of Campbells Creek) was granted to R. Ferguson in October 1860. The first rates made by the Campbells Creek Roads Board were recorded in November 1863 and at this time Robert Ferguson is rated for a three room 'wood' house and shop on Main Road in Campbells Creek. This would seem to be the rear part of the present building. The combining of a shop and residence under one roof was a common 19th century business practice. For some reason the rate descriptions in the next few years describe the building as having only two rooms, although still of 'wood'. The front brick section appears to have been added in 1868, as the rates made in February 1869 describe the building as having four rooms, constructed of both 'wood' and brick. The entry for Ferguson's property in the 1872 Mount Alexander Shire Rate Book (the rates were made in February 1872) records his occupation, that of 'Bootmaker', for the first time.

Ferguson was still living and running a bootmaking business in the building in 1900 but it has not been established how much longer he remained there. Older local residents remember that a lolly shop was run by the Misses Tumney in the 1920s-1930s. Subsequent owners were Shill, and later Bob Alexander.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: House Place No: CC/75 ADDRESS: 156 Main Road, Campbells Creek (Township) OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The weatherboard house, farm building and site, Midland Highway, Campbells Creek, are architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although altered the house still demonstrates the original design qualities of a late Victorian vernacular farmhouse style. These qualities include the main hipped roof form that forms an M-shape at the rear, and the rear skillion wing. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall construction; the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; the narrow eaves and the straight-roofed, return verandah. The farm building features original design qualities of a vernacular farm structure. These qualities include the gabled roof, the bush pole construction, and the galvanised corrugated iron roof and wall lining. The building is notable for its size and its intact condition. The garden setting, with its mature exotic trees and orchard remnants, are also notable and make a contribution to the aesthetic significance of the place. The house also contributes to the character of the Campbells Creek locality, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings.

The weatherboard house, farm building and site, Midland Highway, Campbells Creek, are historically significant at a LOCAL level. The site is particularly associated with the garden and orchard established by the early Campbells creek settler, William Hobby, alongside the store that he erected in 1858 to replace a store that he had erected around 1853. The house is particularly associated with a number of generations of the Chapman family, who erected it in 1893 and lived there for many decades. They would have also erected the farm building. These important historical associations are embodied in the surviving building fabric.

The site, Midland Highway, Campbells Creek, is scientifically significant at a LOCAL level. As the location of the former store of William Hobby, the site to the south of the present buildings has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. It is of importance for information contributing to an understanding of the early settlement and commercial activities of the Campbells Creek area. The large farm building is also of scientific interest for its bush pole construction which now represents and uncommon building technique.

Overall, the weatherboard house, farm building and site, Midland Highway, Campbells Creek, are significant at a LOCAL level.

DESCRIPTION: The site is characterised by a weatherboard house, set back a short distance from the street frontage in a garden setting, with a large farm building to one side. A timber picket fence of varying heights and spacing, and much of which is unpainted, fronts the site. The garden includes numerous mature exotic trees on one side. There are also a number of old fruit trees in what appears to have been an orchard on the other side.

The single-storey, horizontal weatherboard, late Victorian vernacular farmhouse is characterised by a hipped roof form that forms an M-shape at the rear. There also appears to be a skillion wing at the rear. Across the front and sides there is a straight roofed verandah. The roof forms are clad in corrugated galvanised iron. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. An unpainted brick chimney with a protruding brick band around its throat and a corbelled brick top is located on one side of the main roofline. A matching chimney on the other side may have been removed. There is a smaller unpainted brick chimney with corbelled brick top associated with the rear wing. The doors and double-hung windows are timber framed. The verandah is supported by chamfered timber posts and features decorative carved fretwork timber brackets. One bay at the end of a side verandah has been enclosed at a later stage. It is clad with horizontal weatherboards and has a door on the face under the verandah.

To one side of the house there is a large farm building of bush pole construction, with a gable roof clad in galvanised corrugated iron. The narrow rear wall and the lower half of the front wall are lined with sheets of galvanised corrugated iron.

The building has had alterations and additions in c 2003. The two chimneys have been removed and part of the return verandah removed. The verandah posts and decoration have been replaced and windows altered. Much of the picket fencing has been removed.

HISTORY: In July 1893, a correspondent for the Mount Alexander Mail, noted that 'notwithstanding the hard and dull times, there is still building going on'. One of the new buildings mentioned was the 'model cottage' that Mr. Chapman was erecting 'at Mr. Hobby's old garden'. This appears to be referring to the present house, which was first owned by Frank Chapman, then his son Harry, and later his grandson. It is located on land that was first granted to a William Hobby in August 1859, adjacent to land that he had been granted in September 1858 but appears to have occupied since around 1853. In early 1858, Hobby and his partner Husted erected a store, which was extensively described in the Mail in May 1858, on this latter piece of land. At that time, the building had apparently only just been completed and it was said to be 'a splendid corrugated iron store, with a handsome brick front, 70 feet long by 30 feet wide'. It was also said to have 'one small and two large windows in front, three on each side, and two behind, a first rate boarded floor and is being fitted up with a counter that will run the whole length of the building.'

William Hobby died in August 1881 and he had been in the Campbells Creek area since the early 1850s. He was American and came out in the early days of the gold rush, working for some time at German Gully, Strathloddon. In about 1853 he opened a store in conjunction with Mr. Ross on the land that he later purchased from the crown in 1858. The approximate plan of this Ross and Hobby store can be seen on Put-Away Parish Plan C/27, which was zincographed (printed) in March 1857. The firm was said to have done 'an immense business', and was believed to have purchased over a ton weight of gold. Hobby later went into business with his son-in-law, Mr. Husted, and it is probably around that time that the large store, described above, was erected. It would appear to have replaced the previous store. Hobby later ran the business by himself, and was said to have 'engaged exclusively in coaching', which he later gave up to pursue gardening. His 'garden' would have included an orchard, from which peaches and other fruits were said to have been stolen in February 1863. According to the 1893 Mail correspondent, this garden would appear to have been located on the site where the present house is situated. Remnants of the orchard still remain. It is not known what became of the large store that Hobby and Husted erected in 1858 but remnants of it may still remain on or below the ground in the vicinity of the bush pole farm building.

The building is derelict and in poor condition. The building's general roof form, overall design, and materials contribute to the character of the Campbells Creek township, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings. It is further associated with the area known in the mid-19th century as 'Ranters Gully' where many successful miners built their residences and contributes to the streetscape in this area of Princess Street.

DESCRIPTION: HISTORY: The land on which this weatherboard house is located (Allotment 211 of Section 4A, Parish of Castlemaine) was granted to J. Glover in February 1863. It has not been established if he built the present structure but it would appear to have been erected in the 1860s. It appears to have undergone some alterations and additions over the years.

Longtime owners are said to have been the Smith family. Ron and Barb Lipplegoes owned it in the 1950s.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: House Place No: CC/85 ADDRESS: 24 Princess Street, Campbells Creek (Township) OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The weatherboard house, 24 Princess Street, Campbells Creek, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the main hipped roof form together with the skillion verandah across the front. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall construction; the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; the narrow eaves; the central doorway; the timber framed, double hung windows; and the timber verandah posts. The house, with its garden setting, also contributes to the character of the Campbells Creek township, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings, and is a prominent and significant building in this area of Princess Street.

The weatherboard house, 24 Princess Street, Campbells Creek, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early years of the settlement of the Campbells Creek township, and with John Roberts, miner, who built it in the early 1860s on land granted to him by the Crown. It is further associated with the area known in the mid-19th century as 'Ranters Gully' where many successful miners built their residences.

Overall, the weatherboard house, 24 Princess Street, Campbells Creek, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site is characterised by a weatherboard clad house, set back from the street frontage in a garden setting behind a painted decorative picket fence.

This single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian vernacular house is characterised by a hipped roof form. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. There is a skillion verandah across the front of the house. The roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. The centrally located, timber framed doorway is flanked by two timber framed, double hung windows, which appear to be original. The verandah is supported by timber posts.

In 2004 a large modern addition was added to one side of the original building. The addition is recessed from the front of the house and allows the original house to be interpreted. The addition does not detract from the significance of the original dwelling.

HISTORY: The land on which this house is located (Allotment 263 of Section 1A in the Parish of Castlemaine) was formally granted to J. Roberts in January 1864. However, he appears to have occupied this land a little earlier. The first rates made by the Campbells Creek Roads Board were recorded in November 1863 and at this time a John Roberts is described as owning a four room 'wood' house on Ranters Gully Road. 'Ranters Gully' was the early name for this area and it was here that many miners 'actively engaged on various paying reefs in the area' built their residences because the locality, as described by the Mount Alexander Mail in 1863, was 'a verdant spot, just beyond the sludge channels, old workings and all the monotonous scenes of an alluvial goldfield'.

The next time the property was rated for a Mrs. Roberts (January 1865), the address was more accurately given as Princes Street. This is the original and correct spelling for the present Princess Street. The name of Roberts in conjunction with a house in Princes Street is not in subsequent Rate Books and the name of the next owner of the property has not been established.

By 1881, the house appears to have been owned by William Bowyer, who did not live there but

He was a storekeeper who had a two-storey brick store, since demolished, located on Allotment 63, a little further up Princes Street. In February 1891, when the house was put up for sale as part of William Bowyer's estate, the tenant was Mr. F. Stevens.

An owner in the early 20th century was called Annear.

It demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian Early English Gothic style. These qualities include: steeply pitched, parapeted gable roof form, belfry and projecting gabled porch at the front; and the exposed hand made brick construction, slate roof tile cladding and sandstone base. Other intact qualities include the central, tapered and projecting apron front that supports the belfry; wheel and bell in the belfry; exposed brick buttresses having triple and double sandstone copings on the church and porch respectively; pointed windows with eight diamond lead lights and elegant sandstone drip moulds above; and the rear, early gabled roof form attached to the main Church gable. The rural setting with gum trees and remnant garden beds also contribute to the significance of the place.

The former All Saints Church of England, Castlemaine Street, Fryerstown, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the development of the All Saints Church of England from 1859 until 1971. It is also associated with the Castlemaine architects, Alfred Price and E.S.V. Spencer.

The former All Saints Church of England, Castlemaine Street, Fryerstown, is socially significant at a LOCAL level. Although no longer functioning as a Church building, it is still recognised by sections of the community for its past religious purpose.

Overall, the former All Saints Church of England, Castlemaine Street, Fryerstown, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The former All Saints Church of England site at Castlemaine Street, Fryerstown, comprises a brick former church (now a residence) surrounded by gum trees and garden beds.

The single storey, exposed hand-made brick Victorian Early English Gothic styled building has a sandstone base and is characterised by a steeply pitched, parapeted gable roof form, together with a belfry and a projecting gabled porch at the front. The roof forms are clad in original slate tiles. Of particular distinction is the main gable end with a central, tapered and projecting apron front that supports the belfry containing the original bell and wheel. Exposed brick buttresses have triple sandstone copings on the church building and double copings on the gabled entrance porch. The pointed windows have eight diamond lead lights with elegant sandstone drip moulds above. The rear of the building has an early galvanised corrugated iron roof form, which is connected to a recent galvanised corrugated iron gabled wing that extends to the side. This new work is constructed of exposed red brick and has a number of design and construction details that are reflective of the original building.

HISTORY: The Church of England conducted their first services in Fryerstown in 1853. With no permanent meeting place, the Anglicans decided to make application to the Board of Control of the use of the Common School No. 252, however, the Board had a rule that no religious services were to be held in the school, as a measure of not discriminating against other religious denominations. This decision created a determination amongst the Anglicans to build their own church.

In February 1855, the Mount Alexander Mail reported that a portion of land had been allotted to the Church of England and that the construction of the church was about to commence. This

By 1858, there were moves to erect a new, larger Church building, and a meeting was held in October of that year to discuss the development of this proposal. The Mount Alexander Mail of April and June 1859 published the attempts by the Episcopal Church trustees to purchase two acres of land (the present site) for the construction of a new building. The acquisition almost failed, when a Mr. Luke outbid the trustees for the site, however he later forfeited his bid. It was also in June 1859 when the Castlemaine architect, Alfred Price, had prepared designs and specifications for the Church building. However, these drawings were declared invalid by the Registrar since they were not in accordance with the usual conditions which were, 'that if hewn stone were used for the walls, they must be 18 inches thick, or 24 inches if of rubble.'

By April 1860, the design had been amended by another Castlemaine architect, E.S.V. Spencer and the tender for the extant Church building of brick construction with stone dressings was awarded to Forrester and Davis, contractors, at a cost of £600. The Church was opened on 27 January 1861 by Archdeacon Crawford.

The Church of England sold the church and vicarage in the mid 1960s. The church was altered to be used as a weekender by partitioning off three bedrooms on one side, with the remaining half serving as a living area with stove and sink. There were no structural changes and the original alter table and pulpit remained intact.

In 1971, the Church and nearby vicarage were auctioned, and the Church building was sold to Geoffrey and Marilyn Cohen and others, who initially used the property as a weekender. The Cohens later became sole owners and added an extension at the side, with a mezzanine floor introduced into the Church structure. A large kitchen bench, brick fireplace and bar were also added to the interior of the former Church. In 1992, the property was again advertised for sale, and was purchased by Ron Caspi.

Although altered, the building demonstrates design qualities of a Victorian house and attached shop. These qualities include the roof form of the residence, the corner entry and parapet form of the corner shop, the verandah form of the residence, the timber doors and windows.

The former shop and residence, Castlemaine Street, Fryerstown is historically significant at a LOCAL level as one of the remaining commercial buildings in the once busy town.

Overall the former shop and residence, Castlemaine Street, Fryerstown is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The building consists of a residence with attached shop. The residence verandah is built on the street boundary. The place is situated near the end of the long descent into Fryerstown and near the creek crossing. The residence has a hipped roof clad in corrugated steel. The verandah roof is a straight pitch roof clad in corrugated steel. The timber verandah posts and balustrade appears to have been rebuilt in recent times.

The attached shop has a corner entry door and a parapet concealing the roof. There are two rendered chimneys with simple corbelled bands around the top. The entry is through the door on the chamfered corner of the building. the building appears to have been rendered at some stage in the mid twentieth century. The walls are now plain cement render with a raised band near the top of the parapet which could have once been a name plate. The window is timber and double hung.

HISTORY: The township of Fryerstown was proclaimed in 1854, having been established by the gold diggers on Fryer's Creek in 1851. Located on one of the richest goldfields in central Victoria, Fryerstown enjoyed considerable success as a developing fledgling town in the 1850s, however by the 1860s the population began to decline as many diggers departed to join the rush at Kangaroo Flat (Tarilta).

The site appears to have been originally purchased by R. L. M. Kirro in 1870.

There was a number of substantial commercial premises constructed. This shop and dwelling appears to have been constructed in the 19th century and was Ferguson's Butcher Shop at one time.

The former Boot Factory and Residence, corner Castlemaine & High Streets, Fryerstown, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. Generally, the boot factory and residence are a surviving physical embodiment of the early development of the Fryerstown township after the discovery of gold on the Fryer's Creek. The building is especially associated with George Levi Carter from 1870 (and the site from the 1850s), boot maker and beer licensee. The building is also associated with the development of the local postal service, with Carter and his wife operating the post office for 49 years.

Overall, the former Boot Factory & Residence, corner Castlemaine & High Streets, Fryerstown, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site at the corner of Castlemaine and High Streets, Fryerstown, is dominated by a timber commercial building. A substantial grassed nature strip and exotic street trees form the remaining characteristics that are visually connected to the building.

The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian commercial building is characterised by a timber parapeted hipped roof form, together with a chamfered entrance that addresses the prominent street corner. An unpainted brick chimney also adorns the roofline, while an air conditioning plant on the roof is inappropriately exposed to the street. The roof form appears to be clad in galvanised corrugated iron. The two banks of double, timber framed, six paned, awning sash windows and the single awning sash window fronting High Street are recent additions, and have replaced an original/early horizontal bank of nine, timber framed fixed paned shop windows (see historical photo below). The chamfered doorway and transom are original, although the timber and glazed door has recently replaced an original timber four panelled type. The double doorway fronting High Street also appears to be original, although the timber and glazed doors may be recent. Enveloping the building is a recent, straight roofed return verandah supported by square timber posts. The early signage and sign writing that once adorned the parapet wall space (now the location of the switchboard) has been painted over and/or removed. Subsequently the parapet lettering was repainted to be legible.

Having emigrated from Bath, England, in 1853, Carter established a boot manufacturing factory after noticing a market for footwear among the thousands of diggers. Between 1856 and 1864, Carter built a weatherboard factory and residence on allotment 1, which the Mount Alexander Mail described in 1864 as 'containing two sitting rooms and two bed rooms.' It was also in this year, 1864, when George Carter applied for a Beer Licence. Carter's factory and cottage were demolished in 1870, and the extant factory and residence constructed at that time. Carter returned to England in the 1860s-1870s and purchased new machinery for his thriving business, where his market for shoes stretched beyond the confines of Fryerstown into a wider region, but also included repairs to saddlery and horse harnesses. From 1878 until 1927, part of the building became the local Post Office, which closed at this location upon the deaths of Carter in 1923 and his wife in 1927. The boot factory had closed in 1900. In the 1970s, Carter's imported English boot making equipment was placed on display at the Swan Hill Pioneer Museum. The building was owned by Len Retallick from 1876 and in 1992, the present verandah was added, to a design by Dave Timson of Fryers Planning and Design.

The place appeared to be a small stone cottage with large stone external chimney. The roof was no longer intact. The stone building was reconstructed and reroofed by 2011.

The use of local stone in its construction is notable and the structure appears to be a reconstruction of the earlier building. It indicates the early settlement of land in the area for agricultural and mining purposes. It is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes to a greater understanding of the history of the settlement and establishment of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further historical research and archaeological investigation is recommended.

It demonstrated qualities of nineteenth century bridge building, being a single span timber-decked structure with stone abutments. The intact construction qualities included the timber decking that rested on stone abutments and wing walls. This construction was distinctive and is a surviving example of stone bridge abutments with a timber deck.

Prior to 2011, the bridge was reconstructed with a concrete span and rebuilt stone abutments. The original stone appears to have been reused, although the works overall have noticeably diminished the original integrity of the bridge.

DESCRIPTION: This small bridge which crosses Fryers Creek near Fryerstown on the approach to the Fryers Taradale Road, which was an important transport link in the gold era, has coursed sandstone rubble abutments. There are coursed sandstone rubble wing walls. The bridge consisted of a single span of tree trunks with of squared timber decking. There was a timber handrail on both sides of the bridge. The handrails consisted of round end posts, and square timber mid posts supporting a square top rail set on the diagonal.

Prior to 2011, the bridge was reconstructed with a concrete span and rebuilt stone abutments. The original stone appears to have been reused.

It demonstrates qualities of nineteenth century bridge building, being a single span structure with stone abutments. The intact construction qualities include the round timber stringers that rest on stone abutments and wing walls.

Although by 2011, the handrail has been replaced and changes made to the decking, the bridge still retains some timber structure and the stone abutments.

Overall, the timber bridge, White Quartz Road, Fryerstown, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The very small bridge, White Quartz Road, Fryerstown has roughly coursed sandstone rubble abutments. These appear to be of dry stone construction as there is little evidence of mortar joints. There are roughly coursed sandstone rubble wing walls. The bridge consists of a single span of tree trunks with smaller round logs stacked across as the decking. The timber curb is also a tree trunk. There is a timber handrail on one side of the bridge. This consists of round end bush posts supporting a roughly squared top rail.

Although by 2011, the handrail has been replaced and changes made to the decking, the bridge still retains some timber structure and the stone abutments.

HISTORY: The bridge is known locally as White Quartz Bridge. REFERENCES: Community consultation.

The house demonstrates design qualities of the Victorian vernacular style. These intact qualities include the double transverse gable roof form, the weatherboard cladding and the the dry stone wall at the street boundary. The house has had substantial additions including a gable roofed carport and two additional sections but the early double gable section can still be interpreted from High Street.

The timber house at the corner of High and Chapel Streets, Fryerstown is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early days of settlement in Fryerstown. In particular, these associations are embodied in the surviving early building fabric.

Overall, the timber house at the corner of High and Chapel Streets, Fryerstown is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The house at the corner of High and Chapel Streets, Fryerstown is set on a sloping block of land. The house is at a modest set back from the street boundary and has a dry stone wall as the front fence.

The house has a pair of transverse gable roofs facing the street. Across the front of the building is a flat roofed verandah which appears to be a later addition. The roofs are clad in corrugated steel. There were two large face brick external chimneys on the west side of the building. The building is of timber and clad in weatherboards.

Since 1998 a gable roofed carport appears to have replaced the two face brick chimneys and two additional sections have been added to the house. The alterations appear to have retained the early doubled gabled section of the house.

HISTORY: Crown allotment 3 of Section 2, Township of Fryerstown on which this building is located was granted to John Cockram Denny in 1855 for 24 pounds. He sold the place in 1856 to Gustavas Adolphus Smid in 1856 for 150 pounds indicating that some improvements may have been made on the site. In 1857 he sold the place for 140 pounds to William Welsh who died in 1865 leaving the property to David Lindsay. Lindsay sold the property for 5 pounds in 1869 to John Batey. Batey died in 1911 and left the dwelling to his wife. On her death in 1928 the property was sold to Alice Errington. On her death in 1938 the property passed to her family. It was subsequently sold by the Errington family in the 1960s to Thomas and Sheila Maher.

The community consultation referred to this house as "Robin Cottage" and there was a belief that the building had operated as a hotel at some stage. G.O. Brown in his Reminiscences of Fryerstown notes that the Exchange Hotel was in the vicinity of this building. He writes: "Randalls Exchange Hotel, built about 1857, was situated fifty yards east of the Corner Hotel. This was an interesting hotel because it became the depot for Hinds horse-drawn coaches, the first public transport between Fryerstown and Castlemaine in 1872. Very little information is available regarding the Exchange and it seemed to disappear around the turn of the century.[1900]"

The owner in 2011 referred to the house as being called "Red Robin" and had been told the history of the house was believed to have been that a single gabled timber house down on Allotment 1A or 1 was pushed up the hill sometime in the mid to late 1870s to be joined to another single gabled

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Former Amos Cottage and Gold Registrar's Office Place No: FR/31 ADDRESS: 20 High Street, Fryerstown OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Amos Cottage and the Gold Registrar's Office, High Street, Fryerstown, are architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. The cottage demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the unusually low-pitched hipped roof form clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Other intact or early qualities include the rear skillion addition; unpainted sandstone wall construction; unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top; wide eaves; two unusually large timber framed, six paned, double hung windows symmetrically flanking a central doorway with a transom above. A separate brick kitchen is also architecturally significant. The Gold Registrar's Office also demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the simple gable roof form terminating in a skillion at the front, and clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Other intact qualities include the random rubble and timber stud and galvanised corrugated iron clad walling; unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top; vertical boarded timber door; and the timber shingles under the corrugated iron roof cladding.

Amos Cottage and the Gold Registrar's Office, High Street, Fryerstown, are historically significant at a REGIONAL level. They are associated with the gold rush that established the Fryerstown township in the 1850s and are therefore a tangible link with this most important period in the area's history. The cottage may be associated with the early gold miner, Gustavus Adolph Smid from 1854, and is especially associated with Mark Amos, first and highly regarded Gold Registrar at Fryerstown from 1860 until 1893.

Overall, Amos Cottage and the Gold Registrar's Office, High Street, Fryerstown, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: This gently sloping site has a rural bush setting and contains two small sandstone buildings (a cottage with a former Gold Registrar's Office behind), brick kitchen outbuilding, rocky outcrop, exotic and native shrubs and trees, and is bound by an inappropriate tubular steel and cyclone wire fence.

The symmetrical, single storey, unpainted sandstone, Victorian vernacular cottage building is characterised by an unusually low pitched hipped roof form clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. At the rear is a skillion addition, also with a galvanised corrugated iron roof. An unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top adorns the roofline. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves. Two unusually large timber framed, six paned, double hung windows symmetrically flank a central doorway with an introduced timber door and original transom above. The front section of the cottage comprises two rooms. The main room originally had a fireplace (now hidden) and chimney (demolished). The rear door, with its sandstone step, opened to the exterior, while the adjacent room has an arch opening into the small skillion room behind. The internal stone walls of the front rooms were finished with a layer of sandy render and painted, (some areas are still visible). A cellar is cut into the reef below the skillion room and is reached by stone steps originally opening to the exterior of the building. Subsequently, the skillion wing was raised to include a fourth room built with handmade bricks with a brick fireplace and chimney and two small paned windows. Below this room is a well (now hidden) for collecting rain water.

There is a separate brick kitchen with a wide chimney and fireplace and an archway to a small scullery. Over time, this was extended with timber and now is connected to the original dwelling by a low standard modern structure and slate flag floor. One wall of the cottage has been reconstructed in granite blocks and concrete.

Further to the rear of the cottage is the symmetrical, single storey, unpainted random rubble and galvanised corrugated iron clad, Victorian vernacular Gold Registrar's Office building. This small rudimentary structure is characterised by a simple gable roof form terminating in a skillion at the front, and clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. An early, unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top is situated along a gable end. A vertical boarded timber door is also situated on the front façade. The side walls of this building have timber stud walls clad in corrugated iron, which may be original, although the iron sheeting may have replaced earlier galvanised iron cladding. The main gable roof and skillion was originally covered with timber shingles which are still extant underneath. The front room, with its sandstone flag floor, has a sandstone fireplace and primitive timber mantelpiece but the chimney has been demolished. The room behind has part of the original timber ceiling and a more elaborate fireplace with mantelpiece and metal grate. Both rooms are still partially lined with tongue and grooved boards.

Externally, beside the brick chimney are stone steps leading to a below floor space that includes a small early or original barred window. On the front wall, the names of members of the Amos family (with dates of 1898 to 1912) have been carved into several of the larger sandstone blocks.

This half-acre site comprised allotment 13 in the first land sale in Fryerstown in October 1854. The land was sold to the gold miner, Gustavus Adolph Smid. The title deed, dated 19 January 1855, was signed by Sir Charles Hotham, Lieutenant-Governor, and William C. Haines, Colonial Secretary and Registrar. It is thought Smid may have built the cottage at that time. However, a report in the Mount Alexander Mail in September 1858 states that the use of stone for building had 'not been dreamed of', and so it is unclear exactly when this building was constructed. In 1859, the property was purchased by George Williams, a miner and storekeeper, who with John Martin established a prosperous brick-making venture in the area. The 1859 title deed refers to 'all houses and buildings and outhouses' on the property but whether this refers to the current building is unclear.

In 1860, Mark Amos, an English immigrant, was appointed Mining Surveyor and Registrar of the Fryers mining district and rented the property in subsequent years. This cottage and the adjacent Registrar's Office may therefore have been built or altered in c.1860 by the owner George Williams for Amos's use. At the Registrar's Office, miners gathered to take out gold licences, mining rights and to register their claims. Amos remained as Registrar at this site until his death in 1893. According to G.O. Brown in 'Reminiscences of Fryerstown', Amos 'became famous in the mining world for his efficient records and maps for the Fryers mining district, and he had a private library of these items which was invaluable to people seeking information on the area.'

In 1893, Mark Tremaine Amos succeeded his father as Gold Registrar and he and his family continued to live in Amos cottage. In 1910 Mark T. Amos purchased the property from the estate of George Williams and remained there as owner until 1941 when he granted the property to James Nokes 'in consideration of the natural love and affection' between himself and Nokes. After a further sale in 1967, the current owners (2011) purchased the property in 1972.

The front section has a hipped roof and a base wall of local stonework. The original part of the house appears to have been built in the nineteenth century but substantially extended and renovated in the twentieth century. The building retains some parts of the original form and materials which give it some characteristics of its type. The siting of the house rising above the present road level and the nearby mature exotic trees contributes to the streetscape of Fryerstown.

DESCRIPTION: HISTORY: The land was first granted to E.J. Tremain in 1871. The current owner understands that the front rooms of the house were originally constructed in 1871 by a woman, Ellen Julia Tremain, the original Crown Grantee. She later married Mr. Redhouse. She still owned the house in 1915 when she died. The front room still has shingles under the corrugated steel roofing and there is a brick bee hive well on the site. The other three rooms of the house have been added.

DESCRIPTION: HISTORY: The building appears to have been constructed in two stages as there is a definite join in the building materials. The building was on sandstone footings, which have been replaced with redgum stumps. The rear section of the building has been demolished and reconstructed on concrete block footings. Since 1998, the verandah has also been redesigned and renewed and the cladding of the sides and rear of the building replaced by colorbond metal sheeting. The chimneys have also been demolished and the bricks donated to Buda historic house in Castlemaine and used in the construction of garden steps. The roof and valleys have been reclad.

Although altered, it demonstrates design qualities of the Victorian vernacular style. The building's form and materials make it a characteristic example of its type.

DESCRIPTION: The brick house, High Street, Fryerstown is situated at a deep setback from the street boundary on a gently sloping block. The house is in a garden setting of grassed areas and mature and semi mature trees which were mainly planted in the late twentieth century. The house has a steeply pitched gable roof clad in corrugated steel. The roofline extends to the front to form the verandah roof with only a slight change in pitch. There is a painted brick chimney with a simple corbelled brick band near the top for decoration on the east side of the building and a part unpainted external brick chimney on the west side with similar decoration. The house is of brick, now painted, with an introduced brick buttress on the west side. The house has a central doorway in the south, street, elevation with flanking timber double hung windows. The verandah has square timber posts with a simple timber square dowel valence and timber fretwork brackets. The verandah decoration is characteristic of the early twentieth century.

HISTORY: The two allotments of land on which this is located were granted to J. Fenton in 27 August 1861 (lot 7) and 20 December 1859 (lot 8). The ratebooks of 1866 rate John Fenton for a Hotel and premises at Fryerstown but it is not known if this was the same site. In 1870 and 1872 Fenton's executors are rated for the hotel and premises. In 1872 the ratebooks note that Frederick James Bond is a hotelkeeper.

G. O. Brown in his Reminiscences writes: " The Separation Hotel, licence granted to John Fenton, 1864, poses a query. Its exact location is not known, but is believed to have been on the Sawpit Gully Road on the north side before reaching the Red Lion [Hotel].

An interesting feature published in the Mt Alexander Mail of the day, stated that the licensees of Fryerstown's five chief hotels were all very large people. Mrs. Mary McIntyre, Fryerstown Hotel weighed 14 stone. Henry Boyle, Cumberland Hotel weighed 16 stone. W S. Clarke, Bridge Inn weighed 17 stone. John Clayton, Red Lion Hotel weighed 18 stone. John Fenton, Separation Hotel weighed 20 stone."

The community consultation referred to this house as Layden's House.

The owner in 2011 states that since owning the property (1960s) he has been responsible for the introduction of the buttresses and works to the roof, windows and verandah and the painting of the walls and chimney.

It is associated with the Duke of Cornwall mine of which the mine managers residence is a direct link to the late nineteenth century quartz gold mining activities in the Fryerstown area.

The former mine manager's house, Duke of Cornwall mine, Vaughan Chewton Road, Fryerstown is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. The building demonstrates design qualities of a 1870s Victorian brick villa. These qualities include the stone walls and door and window openings. The hipped roof form and brick chimneys are reflective of the important early twentieth century changes. The siting of the building on the hill above the mining operation add to the significance of the place,

Overall, the former mine manager's house, Duke of Cornwall mine, Vaughan Chewton Road, Fryerstown is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The former mine manager's house, Duke of Cornwall mine, Vaughan Chewton Road, Fryerstown is sited on a hill from where the mine operations could be viewed below. The house is now isolated in farm land with only a few remnant mature trees nearby. The house has a hipped roof clad in corrugated steel. There is an unpainted red brick chimney with simple corbelled bands near the top. The house is rectangular in plan with stone walls. The stone is local, squared and laid in courses. Across the front is a gabled verandah which appears to be a later addition.

HISTORY: The Duke of Cornwall Company, despite the evidence of the existing notable stone engine house built strictly to Cornish design, was a complete failure from the outset and provided many heartbreaks for its shareholders and directors. The original Duke of Cornwall Quartz Gold Mining Company was formed by local men in 1864. It had a twelve acre lease adjoining Rowe Brothers famous Mosquito mine. By March 1865 they had spent £35,000 on mining plant and the shaft sunk to 200 feet. The company then became defunct. New capital was raised and a new prospectus issued in 1968. The mine operated unprofitably until 1873 when the company installed a new battery. The plant was sold by public auction in 1875 and purchased by the Rowe Brothers. They worked it in conjunction with the adjacent Mosquito mine.

The house appears to have been constructed on land held under a miner's right. G.O. Brown in his Reminiscences states: "The old stone building on the hill overlooking the remains of the Duke of Cornwall mine was the home of the original mine manager, Mr. Lamb, who sold out and returned to England in 1875."

The rate books do not have an entry for Mr. Lamb in 1866 or 1867. Henry William Lamb is rated for a house and land from 1868 until 1873 and his occupation in 1871 is given as a gentleman. In 1874 he is noted in the ratebooks as owner with William Laughrey, teacher as occupier.

The building was purchased by William Walter Barrett in about 1910. The building was a stone shell - no roof, no floors, no windows and doors. It was subsequently renovated to the design of Mr. Barrett. Since 1910, many changes been made to the house.

These intact qualities include the timber wall construction with false timber ashlar blockwork on the front facade; the hipped roof forms; the hipped verandah roof form with timber posts and decoration; the brick chimneys; the central doorway and timber door; and the two flanking timber framed, windows.

The former School Residence, 3 Templeton Street, Guildford is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It has long standing associations as the local school teacher's residence from 1914 until 1993.

Overall, the former School Residence, 3 Templeton Street, Guildford is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The timber house is set well back from the road boundary on a gentle rise. There are some remnant early exotic trees in the generally grassed garden. The post and rail fencing gives a rural appearance to the building. At the rear of the block is a large and old eucalyptus tree. The building has a hipped M form roof clad in short length, lapped corrugated steel. The narrow eaves are supported on paired timber brackets across the front. There are two painted brick chimneys, one on each side of the front section of the house. The house is constructed of timber with weatherboards on the side and rear walls with the front wall in fake timber ashlar to represent stonework. The front verandah is elevated and has a stone base wall. The verandah has a gently curved hipped roof clad in corrugated steel. This is supported on timber posts and there are timber fretwork brackets and frieze decoration. There is a simple timber balcony railing. The house has a central doorway flanked by timber, double hung windows. There are three timber double hung windows down one side. The house has been extended since 1998 in similar form and materials.

The original section of the house retains original internal features including pressed metal ceilings, art nouveau door furniture and the original glass in the windows.

HISTORY: The land on which this building is located (Allotment 3 of Section 4 in the Township of Guildford) was granted to William Belling in 1854. He sold the land to William Aberdeen and Robert Andrew as Trustees of Kenneth McKay Aberdeen in 1862. They sold the land to Thomas Whear in 1867. He sold the land in 1876 to John Henry Seymour. In 1883 Seymour sold to Joseph Gates. An advertisement in the Mount Alexander Mail on 4 May 1883 states: " W. Adams has received instructions from Mr. J.H. Seymour, to sell at Webb's Hotel, Guildford.... Allotments 3 and 4 - fenced stable on same, corner block, frontage of 2 1/2 chains to Parker Street, forming a beautiful paddock, centrally situated and commanding a beautiful view for cottage property. Terms easy."

The property was was sold by Gates to Joseph Waterworth in 1885. After his death in 1892, the property was sold to George Clark and George Henry Clark. In 1906 George Henry Clark became the sole owner and sold the property to Florence Hughes for £40. In 1914 she sold the property to the Honourable Sir Alexander James Peacock (as Minister of Education) for £380 indicating that the house had been constructed during her ownership. The building was owned by the Government until 1993 when it was sold by the Government Employee Housing Authority.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Farm complex Place No: MC/06 ADDRESS: 388 Muckleford-Yapeen Road, Muckleford South OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The stone farmhouse complex at Point View, Muckleford South, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. The farm complex demonstrates design qualities of the Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the brick and stone wall construction of the house, the corrugated steel and timber shingle clad hipped roof forms of the house, the doorways and square windows of the house, the stone walls with brick quoinwork and corrugated steel clad gable roof of the nearby outbuilding, the large corrugated iron and timber clad gable and skillion roofed shed and the steeply pitched hipped roof stone store building. The siting of the complex around an open square and high on the plateau above the creek adds to its significance. The modern timber dwelling near the original farm complex is not of heritage significance.

The stone farmhouse complex at Point View, Muckleford South, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. The land and buildings are associated with the Livock family and the Ware family and represent nineteenth century rural farm life.

Overall the stone farmhouse complex at Point View, Muckleford South is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The farm complex is a collection of buildings set around a central courtyard or square. The complex is sited dramatically on the Guildford plateau high above the creek. The area is relatively flat with rocky outcrops. The modern house which is inhabited is situated at some distance from the earlier buildings along the access road.

The buildings include an early stone and brick house which has two parallel, steeply pitched, hipped roofs. Part of one roof has lost the corrugated steel cladding exposing the original timber shingles. One of the hipped roof sections is of random rubble local stone. The second section is similar in size to the stone section but built of brick and appears to be a later addition. The building retains some rectangular doorways and almost square, large window openings. At the rear is a very large square plain stone fireplace with a rectangular brick chimney. Adjacent to this is a larger brick fireplace and stepped brick chimney.

Across the square from this house is a gable roofed stone store house. The gable roof is clad in corrugated steel. At one gable end is a brick and stone external chimney. The walls are of random rubble stonework with brick quoins. At the other gable end is a skillion addition.

There is a large shed consisting of two parallel gable roofed sections with a skillion extension on one side. The walls are clad in corrugated steel and square edged weatherboards. Nearly opposite this building is a third stone building. This is rectangular with a very steeply pitched hipped roof clad in corrugated steel. In the centre of the longer wall facing into the square is a timber door. On one short side is a small square window. There is no chimney on this building.

The area of heritage significance is limited to the area containing the stone houses and shedding and the connecting courtyard.

HISTORY: The land on which this farm is located (Allotment 4 of Section 5 in the Parish of Strangways) was granted to John Glover in 1857. In the same year he conveyed the land to Ellis Livock. In 1870 Livock mortgaged the land to James Wearne. The land was conveyed by Livock to William Ware in 1879.

The 1865 Newstead Shire Ratebooks list Ellis Livock as the owner of a house and land at Muckleford Creek. He is listed as such in the ratebooks of 1867, 1874 and 1875. In 1876, his occupation is given as Farmer. He is listed as such in the ratebooks of 1877 and 1878. In 1879 the ratepayer is William Ware and he is listed as owner. He is listed as a Farmer and owner of the allotment in the 1883 Ratebook.

The Mount Alexander Mail of 26 February 1870 has an advertisement for an auction "By instruction of Mr. E. Levock [sic], will sell by public auction...his magnificent farm comprising 193 acres 3 roods situated at Muckleford Creek...together with improvements thereon, consisting of stone house, huts and other properties" A similar advertisement ran in the 3 March 1870 issue of the newspaper with the additional information " The ground is well known to be highly auriferous, so no further comment is necessary."

Mr. Dave Barkla remembered the farm with the first stone house being lived in by William Ware, the second house, now demolished being lived in by Walter Ware and the third house on the property being moved in from Glenroy in 1979.

Potential Origins of Square Layout The square layout of the buildings of the farm complex has an affinity with late 18th and early 19th century British farm layouts, a number of which were influenced by numerous agricultural and architectural pattern book publications of the philosophies and practicalities of farm architecture, layouts and styles. The most eminent and influential architectural writer in Britain of the 1820s and 1830s was the Scottish-born John Claudius Loudon His Encyclopaedia of Agriculture was published in 1826 whilst his Encyclopaedia of Villa, Farm and Cottage Architecture was first published in 1833 and it was widely circulated throughout the Empire. There were numerous architectural writers whose theories in farms and farm layouts were published throughout the late 1700s and early 1800s, prior to and after Loudon's monumental work. These writers included C.B. Allen, D.H. Arnot, S.H. Brooks, R. Brown, R. Lugar, J.B. Papworth and J. White.

Some traditional farms in both Scotland and England had been arranged within a square or rectangle, as opposed to a solely long house or lineal arrangement . However by the late 17th century the square layout was preferred, where the buildings and fences thus formed a quadrangle in the centre. With the advent of the architectural publications in the eighteenth century, particularly the writings of Loudon, this 'courtyard farm layout' as it was called, became more popular . In 1794, I. Leatham wrote The General View of Agriculture of the East Riding of Yorkshire, and he stated an exact account for the layout of a courtyard farm: Farm offices, when properly built, should form a square; and all offices should be placed as conveniently and as near each other as possible: the fold yard should be in the centre; and the pump and watering trough should be near the back door (of the house) where the cattle should be watered, to prevent the loss of their dung...The stackyard should adjoin the barn, to prevent waste by carrying the corn from a distance; and the granary should, if possible, be over the carriage-shed, or any other place where it can be built in a situation equally cool and airy, and not over a stable.

The farmer's dwelling-house stands a short distance from the offices, and frequently commands a view of the inside of the square; and cottages for servants and laborers are placed on some convenient spot not far from the other buildings.

Roxburgh, `Early Colonial farm buildings', in Heritage Australia, winter,1984, p.20, Roxburgh states that Loudon was a Scottish architect. Furthermore, Roxburgh believes that the influence of Loudon can be seen in buildings from the 1830s all over the early settled areas of Tasmania and New South Wales. J.C. Loudon, Encyclopaedia of Agriculture, Longman, Ress, Orme, Brown, London, 1826., R. Roxburgh, op.cit., Roxburgh also states that by 1834 Loudon's Encyclopaedia could be obtained in Sydney. Fenton & Walker, The Rural Architecture of Scotland, John Donald, Edinburgh, 1981, p.119., J. Weller, History of the Farmstead, Faber and Faber, London, 1982, pp.49-52, Weller states that agricultural experts, who advised farmers after the revolution of the filed enclosures and new cultivation techniques of the 18th century, nearly always recommended the courtyard steading. Furthermore, Weller says that Loudon was fascinated by the ordered way of new farm management to be found in early nineteenth century farmsteads. , Quotation in ibid., p.22.

The building is notable for the unusual orientation of its double gabled roof form, which runs perpendicular to the street frontage, and retention of this roof form and the original multi-paned fenestration, as well as the external materials and detailing, is desirable.

DESCRIPTION: HISTORY: The land on which this weatherboard house is located (Allotment 4 of Section 6A, Township of Newstead) was granted to A. Jones in February 1860. It has not been established if Jones built the present structure but it would appear to have been erected in the 19th century, possibly in the 1860s. The appearance of the roof form is unusual, with its double gables running perpendicular to the street frontage.

The house was owned by Bill Morson in the early 20th century and also by Robert Marslin. By the 1940s, the house was owned by M. Birmingham. It is still in the ownership of the Birmingham family.

It demonstrates important visual qualities formed by the regular rows of graves and cemetery architecture, dawned sloping land, and exotic trees including significant Italian Cypress and Washington palm trees.

The Newstead Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Newstead is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early development of Newstead from 1859, and is a tangible link with important historical events in the area, including the immigration of international immigrants to work the gold mines.

The Newstead Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Newstead is scientifically significant at a LOCAL level. The many headstones and cemetery architecture, dating from the 19th century, represent some fine examples of masonry craftsmanship.

The Newstead Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Newstead is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is recognised and valued by the community for spiritual, cultural and commemorative reasons.

Overall, the Newstead Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Newstead is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site of the Newstead Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Newstead encompasses a sloping piece of land with numerous graves and elaborate stone cemetery architecture - aligned in regular rows - dating back to 1859. The site is also characterised by considerable dawned areas and numerous exotic trees including the significant Italian cypress and Washington palm trees. There was a small timber sexton's hut adjacent to the grave area which has since been demolished. The building was rectangular with a steeply pitched gable roof clad in corrugated steel. There was a skillion roofed extension at the rear and to one side. The walls were clad in square edged weatherboards. There was a vertically boarded door in one long side of the building.

HISTORY: Land was first set aside at Newstead as a site for a General Cemetery in 1859 and the names of the four trustees that had been appointed on 9 July 1859 were published in the Victorian Government Gazette on 12 July 1859. These trustees were Joseph Day, Thomas Mar, William Ibbotson and Joseph McCullough.

In reminiscences, published in The Echo in 1907, held that Mr. John Sainsbury, William Ibbotson and 'another' had helped lay out the present cemetery. Joseph Day, who was a prominent early settler in the township, resigned as trustee in November 1860 and he was replaced by Thomas Beadnall in April 1862. In August 1862, Lolly Lang slow and David Cornet were appointed as additional trustees. The names of the trustees probably changed a number of times over the years. In March 1897, Henry Colquhoun and Edward Owe, prominent storekeepers in the township, were appointed as trustees.

One of the monuments erected at the cemetery was described in great detail in the Mount Alexander Mail on 25 March 1899. It was erected to the memory of Richard Marks, a prominent member of the local community who had died the previous year. It was constructed by a mason named Relearn and was described in the Mail as 'the most beautiful monument that has been erected in the Newstead cemetery, or probably within the district'. According to the Mail, a statue

In 1995 the National Trust (Victoria) placed a notable specimen of Italian Cypress (Cuprous smeariness L.) on its Significant Trees Register. Its age was estimated at that time as being some 80 years and it was considered notable for its upright and compact crown, and for its contribution to the landscape.

The Newstead War Memorial, Creswick Newstead Road, Newstead, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the men and women who fought in the First and Second World Wars, having been unveiled in 1921.

The War Memorial, Creswick Newstead Road, Newstead, is scientifically significant at a LOCAL level. The granite construction of the pedestal, obelisk and stepped base is an example of fine craftsmanship in the early 20th century.

The War Memorial, Creswick Newstead Road, Newstead, is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is recognised and highly valued by the Newstead community for cultural, social and commemorative reasons in relation to those men and women who fought in the First and Second World Wars.

Overall, the War Memorial and Park, Creswick Newstead Road, Newstead, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: Newstead and District Soldiers' Memorial and Park is in an area reserved for a public park, on the Creswick Newstead Road, Newstead, opposite the railway station. The almost triangular park reserve is edged on all sides with single or double rows of exotic deciduous trees.

The monument, erected by Wilson and Co, of Bendigo, is carved from Harcourt granite and is in good condition. It comprises an obelisk and base (2.5 m) resting on a pedestal and stepped base of three courses, the whole measuring 4.7 m in height, within an enclosure, 3.5 m square, bounded by six granite posts connected by two layers of steel pipe and cyclone wire. There is a framed cyclone wire gate on one side of this enclosing fence. The dedicatory inscription on the memorial faces the railway station, and the three remaining panels are inscribed with the names of 41 men from the pre-1915 Shire of Newstead who died in the first world war and three who died in the second.

Directly adjacent to the monument there is a flagpole, which has a rough-faced base of Harcourt granite. The flagpole and its base are located within a small square enclosure bounded by four granite posts, linked with two rows of steel pipe.

A rectangular border around the grouping of the memorial and flagpole is marked by blocks of granite set into the ground, from which they sit slightly proud. This grouping is further surrounded by five palm trees. The placement of the existing trees and two depressions in the ground at particular intervals within the circle suggests that there were originally seven trees.

HISTORY: It was generally agreed in the winter of 1919 that Newstead's 180 volunteers in the first world war would be commemorated by an Avenue of Honor followed by the erection of an obelisk in the reserve opposite the railway station which was then a vacant allotment. When the Avenue of

Gibson said on 10 July, 'the obelisk would remain a lasting memorial, whereas the trees would die out.' On 17 October, a month after the opening of the avenue on the Joyce's Creek Road, a public meeting in the Mechanics' Institute decided unanimously to erect a memorial 'in honor of the fallen soldiers of the old Newstead Shire.' (On 1 October 1915, Newstead Shire incorporated the United Shire of Mount Alexander to form the Shire of Newstead and Mount Alexander). The meeting elected a committee of twenty-one members, almost half of those attending, to investigate the proposal. Evidently there were delays because two years elapsed before the monument was completed at a cost of £400. At the same time three local men, J. Cusack, J.T. Height and D. Smith, built a 'substantial fence' around the reserve using materials supplied by T. Odgers and Co., of Castlemaine. The memorial committee's intention was to have the enclosed area planted with shrubs to form a small park or garden.

The monument was unveiled on 12 November 1921 by Brigadier General Sir Thomas Glasgow (1876-1955), a Queensland Senator (1919-32), who had commanded the 1st Division, AIF, in France in 1918 and was Commonwealth Minister for Defence between 1927 and 1929. Other members of the official party were Captain Morley, MLA, D. McLeod, MLA, Shire President Cr. B. Blinkhorn, the memorial committee of nine members, including the chairman, Cr. Alex Clarke, shire councillors and 'other prominent residents.' Glasgow requested all present to bow their heads while he performed the unveiling, the silence broken only by buglers of the Newstead State School who played 'The Last Post'.

The house and outbuilding demonstrates many design qualities of the late Victorian and Victorian vernacular style. These intact qualities include the quarried stone wall construction of the outbuilding; the hipped, gable and skillion roof forms; the central doorway and timber door; and the two flanking timber framed, tripartite double hung windows.

The Farm house and stone out building, Daylesford Newstead Road, Newstead, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the settlement of the Newstead district. It is also associated with the Jobs family, Kist family and Peterson family, farmers in the area.

Overall, the Farm house and stone outbuilding at Daylesford Newstead Road, Newstead, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The building is sited on relatively flat land facing the Hepburn Newstead Road. The building has a short set back from the front boundary and there is little landscaping. The house is rectangular with an M shaped hipped roof clad in corrugated steel. There are two symmetrically placed brick chimneys above the ridge line. The house has a bullnosed verandah which returns. The verandah is supported on cast iron columns and has cast iron bracket and decorative frieze. Part of the verandah has been built in down one side at a later date. The front elevation has a central door with side lights and on either side is a tripartite window with a central double hung window between narrow side lights. At the rear are later skillion additions.

Also at the rear of the building set at an angle to the house alignment is a small hipped roof stone building with a chimney which appears to have faced into an earlier structure. The building has a central door on the narrow hip end. This may have been part of an earlier cottage or a farm building. At the other side of the rear yard are a number of hipped and skillion roof sheds, now clad in corrugated steel which may be the stables, coach house and man's room mentioned in the 1909 advertisement.

HISTORY: The Parish plans shows that allotments 19 to 24 of Section 1 were purchased from the Crown by C. Jobs in 1855. In April 1873, the Jobs farm known as Loddon Grange was advertised for sale by Josh Jobs. It was reported as sold in April 1873. In 1887 the Ratebooks listed Stephen Kist as the occupier. He still occupied the site in 1900. In March 1909, the Mount Alexander Mail had an advertisement for the sale of Loddon Grange Farm and Clearing Sale on 24 March:

"WAS. Kist & Co. and G.W. Parker (in conjunction) have received instructions from the executors in the estate of the late Stephen Kist to sell at public auction, That very choice property known as Loddon Grange Farm, Newstead. containing about 70 acres of first class agricultural land. The improvements consist of a 6-roomed double fronted brick [the existing house is weatherboard] house, in splendid order, new stables, coach house, new man's room, separator room, and water is laid on by windmill. For further particulars apply WAS. Kist and Co., 608-10 Collins Street Melbourne: or G.W. Parker, Daylesford."

The land has been occupied by the Peterson family for much of the twentieth century.

This could explain the discrepancy between the description of the house as brick and the existing weatherboard house. The weatherboard house would appear to date from the late Victorian period and may have been relocated or built on the land after the sale in 1909.

It demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian Primitive Gothic style. These qualities include the steeply pitched, parapeted gable roof form. Other intact or early qualities include the brick and render wall construction, simple pointed windows, gable parapet coping, brick buttresses having single copings, and the gable rear entrance porch at the side.

The Former Newstead Primitive Methodist Church, 17 Lyons Street, Newstead, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the development of the Primitive Methodist Church in Newstead between 1860 and 1906, and with the development of the Mackenzie Masonic Lodge from 1906 until 2004.

The Former Newstead Primitive Methodist Church, 17 Lyons Street, Newstead, is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is recognised and valued by the local Newstead community for cultural reasons.

Overall, the Former Newstead Primitive Methodist Church, 17 Lyons Street, Newstead, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The Former Newstead Primitive Methodist Church, 17 Lyons Street, Newstead, is identified by an early brick building with an open grassed, frontage, galvanised corrugated iron side fence and a rendered Victorian building that forms the boundary to the other side, and an inappropriate tubular steel and wire front fence having a scrolled metal gate.

The brick and partially rendered, Victorian Primitive Gothic styled main building is characterised by a steeply pitched, parapeted gable roof form. The main gable end is particularly rudimentary in design, and has two simple pointed windows along the lower reaches. Prior to 2004 there was an introduced display board in the centre and the introduced Masonic symbol in the central upper reaches and creeper was spreading over this main gable. Like the render on the wall of the street façade, the parapet coping is suffering from deterioration. Other simple pointed windows are located along the longitudinal facades, as are exposed brick buttresses having single copings. An introduced gabled rear entrance porch is situated at the side and has a vertical boarded door. The original slate tile roof cladding were replaced in 2005.

A pointed arched door has been introduced in the centre of the street facade and flanking carriage lights. The building is now used as a private residence.

HISTORY: The former church building, 17 Lyons Street, Newstead, was originally erected as the Newstead Primitive Methodist Church. This Protestant denomination had come to Victoria in the mid 19th century, having formed in Staffordshire, England, in 1811. More prosperous in Victoria and Tasmania than in other colonies, the Primitive Methodists grew to be the second largest group of Methodists in the State. Not surprisingly therefore, the Primitive Methodists have had a presence in Newstead since their earliest years in Victoria, due to the gold rush. At Newstead, the Primitive Methodists held their first services at the home of William Ibbotson, the local blacksmith, who offered the site for the chapel for half the price he paid for it.

According to 'Newstead Methodist Church Centenary Celebrations 1860-1960', the first Christian

It was also apparently on this day when the first Methodist trustee meeting was held, with the trust being comprised of D. Smith; E.J. House; J. Williamson; H. Skibrip and W. Ibbotson who was appointed Treasurer. These men set to work to raise the necessary funds to build the first Primitive Methodist Chapel.

The present building was opened as the Newstead Primitive Methodist Church on 30 November 1860, with the morning service being delivered by the Rev. Mr. Hall of Geelong and the afternoon and evening services by Mr. Kitching. The Primitive Methodist Juvenile Magazine for 1861 provided a detailed description of the newly-opened building: 'This neat little chapel is built in the Gothic style, devoid of ornament, eminently characteristic of the unostentatious mode of worship followed there. It is of brick, and shingled, and will seat about 100 comfortably.'

The building cost about £233 to construct, with some funds coming from the local Presbyterians. Additions were made to the building three years later. After the Union of the Methodist denominations in 1902, the Primitive Methodist chapel became the Newstead Methodist Church. In November 1906, the church building was sold to the local Freemasons who converted and carried out additions to the building during the following two months for use as a Masonic Lodge. The building reopened as the Mackenzie Freemasons Lodge on 27 February 1907. The Mackenzie Lodge had been established in Maldon in 1857, with the initial meetings being held in the court house. The first Newstead meeting was in May 1871, at the Mechanics Institute. The Masonic lodge continued to use the building until 2004. The building is now a private residence.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Miss Bonnin's Drapers Store Place No: ND/48 ADDRESS: 14 Lyons Street, Newstead OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The former Bonnin's Drapers Shop, Lyons Street, Newstead is architecturally significant at the LOCAL level. The former store demonstrates design qualities of a Victorian era store. These qualities include the store being constructed on the street boundary; the evidence of a street verandah; brick wall construction with remaining section of parapet, the wide, timber framed glazed shop window, the flat arched door and window openings.

The former Bonnin's Drapers Shop, Lyons Street, Newstead is historically significant at the LOCAL level. It is associated with the early years of the development of Newstead and operated as a draper store from at least 1867 until 1923 and as a greengrocers and confections from that time until 1965. The building is associated with the Bonnin sisters, Wilcox family, Eyre family, Watts family, Tyers family and Sheehan family all store owners in Newstead and the Beasley family.

Overall, the former Bonnin's Drapers Shop, Newstead is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The former Bonnin's Drapers Shop, Lyons Street, Newstead is constructed onto the street boundary. The place has a brick facade with an altered parapet marked by a double row of corbelled bricks along the base and two pilasters at either end. The parapet conceals the roof line. Below the string course at the base of the parapet is evidence of a verandah springing beam and fixings which indicate that the place formerly had a street verandah. The building is of brick with the facade now painted. The facade is divided into two sections with the north section being the shop and the south section being the residential part. There is a door opening to each section with flat arched brick voussoirs above. The doors have been replaced in the early twentieth century. There is a wide almost square timber shop window with a central mullion. The residential section has a single flat arched window opening with brick voussoirs and a timber window frame. The brickwork above the shop window has been damaged and poorly repaired. The top of the parapet appears to be missing.

HISTORY: The land on which this is located (Allotment 1 of Section 2 in the Township of Newstead) was granted to Blair in 1863. The Shire of Newstead ratebook for 1867 records Amelia Bonnin as the tenant and William Ibbotson as the owner for a shop and dwelling. There is an entry before this noting Robert Blair as the owner of a shop and dwelling as well. It appears that he may have subdivided the allotment by this time and sold part of it to Ibbotson.

In 1868 The Mount Alexander Mail carried the following advertisement: "Unreserved Sale of Valuable Freehold in the Township of Newstead by order of the Mortgagee John Smith, Esq., the Mortgagee, who is leaving the district, to sell by public auction, the following valuable allotments being ... also part Allot. 1 Sec. 2 Town of Newstead; together with all improvements erected thereon, and subdivided into lots to suit purchasers. Lot 1 - Brick house and Store, now let to Mrs. Bonner [sic], Draper and Milliner. Title unquestionable." Lot 1 appears to be the present building. This would indicate that the existing building was constructed by this date.

The ratebooks of 1874 and 1875 list Amelia Bonnin, Draper as tenant and Kyd and Mackie as owners of a shop. In 1876 the description changes to Amelia Bonnin, Draper, Owner, Shop and Dwelling with the same Net Annual Value. The Certificate of Title dated the 11th July 1876 gives

The title was transferred to Edwin Stuart Wilcox on 13th May 1893. The property is listed in the 1893 ratebook as Stuart Wilcox, Draper, Shop and House, Lyon Street (former by A. Bonnin). He is still operating as a draper in 1900. In the 1915 Ratebook he is described as a dealer. He sold the property in 1923 to James Charles Eyre, fruiterer. In 1944 Eyre sold the place to Alan Watts, confectioner. He sold the property in 1947 to Harold Charles Tyers, greengrocer and confectioner. In 1953, the property was purchased by Leo James Sheehan, greengrocer and confectioner. He owned the property until 1965 when it was sold to Francis James Beasley, builder and Vera Elizabeth Beasley.

There are two photographs of this building taken in the 1940s held by the Newstead and District Historical Society.

The building retains its general roof form, overall design, and traditional materials.

The building is notable for the unusual orientation of its double gabled roof form, which runs perpendicular to the street frontage, and retention of this roof form as well as the external materials and detailing, is desirable.

DESCRIPTION: The house in Lyons Street is set back at a distance from the street frontage. The front fence is a moderately high paling fence. The timber house has intersecting transverse and parallel gable roof forms with a large mid twentieth century skillion roofed addition facing the street. The roofs are clad in corrugated steel. The walls are of weatherboard and there is a large unpainted face brick chimney with decorative corbelled brickwork at the top to one side.

Although altered, the building retains the scale, roof forms and materials characteristic of the mid nineteenth century.

HISTORY: The land on which this house is located (Allotment 2 of Section 3 in the Township of Newstead).

The unusual articulation of the gabled roof forms and the external location and multicorbelled design of the brick chimneys may suggest that the dwelling was relocated to this site in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.

In the 1940s and 50s the house was occupied by a doctor.

It demonstrates some Victorian design qualities including the steeply pitched gable roof form clad in corrugated steel, street boundary alignment, the masonry front wall and timber structure side walls, the central doorway, the original flanking timber double hung, front windows with central glazing bars and the remains of the original parapet.

DESCRIPTION: The former Shamrock Hotel, Lyons Street, Newstead is sited on the street boundary of the property. The front section has a long transverse gable roof clad in corrugated steel. There is a skillion roofed section behind. The front wall is of rendered brick with the side walls of timber construction. The front wall rises to a parapet which, from early photographs, appears to have been reduced in size. It has the remains of two side panels marked by slightly projecting brickwork (now painted/rendered) and a wide central section which originally provided space for a name plate for the business. The facade has a central doorway with sidelights which would appear to be the original entry doorway. Either side is a single, nearly square proportioned double hung window with central glazing bars. These are identical to the windows in the early photograph of the building. The window and door openings now have small projecting rendered window hoods over them. The side walls have square edged weather board cladding in the gables with a wider cladding on the wall section. The skillion addition is clad in square edged weatherboards.

HISTORY: The former Shamrock Hotel, Lyons Street, Newstead is located on allotment 2, Section 13 in the Township of Newstead. This allotment and the adjacent lot, both facing Lyons Street, were granted to David Johnston, Lovell Langslow and William Alfred Clark as tenants in common, in March 1860. In late April 1860 all of this land and a third of allotment 2 were conveyed by Johnston and Langslow to Clark. In October 1867, William Clark conveyed the land to Thomas Webb as a "conveyance in trust", and was for the use of Clark during his lifetime and then passed to his daughter Elizabeth Clark. It appears that Webb was William Clark's father-in-law.

Bradfield in his recollections of Newstead states that the Shamrock Hotel was built by William Webb. The Newstead and Maldon Echo of 1907 reported that the Shamrock Hotel was built for William Clark, who still owned it in 1907.

The first licensee of the Shamrock Hotel was Thomas Ryan and he opened it on New Years Eve 1882. In March 1884 the Mount Alexander Mail reported that T.J. Ryan of the Shamrock Hotel, Newstead had been injured and by July the same newspaper reported the sale of stock in trade, publican's licence and household furniture of T.J. Ryan's Shamrock hotel, Newstead by order of the mortgagee. The licensee was then Henry Wilby who operated the hotel until December 1890 when he moved to a hotel in Castlemaine. Abraham Burgess then took over the licence and leased the property from Mr. Clark.

In 1913 a Licences Reduction Board was formed to examine the number of hotels throughout the state and to decide on the closure of those considered to be no longer needed. At the Newstead sitting of the Board, held in June 1913, neither the owner, Mr. Clark, or the licensee Mr. Abraham Burgess opposed the closure of the hotel as business had declined due to the decrease in mining activities in the area. At the hearing, the officer in charge of the Newstead Police Station, Constable Jones, described the hotel as being in a fair state of repair and well kept, although in his opinion, it was not required. The building was described as single storey, the front of brick and the remainder of weatherboard with eight rooms, three being used by the family. On the 3rd July 1913, the Board announced that in the Newstead district both the Shamrock and the Loddon Lead

In July 1914, Elizabeth Clark sold the property to Josiah and Harold Slee. By the 1940s the building was occupied by Percy Clark and is is believed that around this time the original street verandah was removed and the facade rendered and altered to its present appearance. Also at about this time a stable building with loft was demolished.

Since the closure of the hotel, the building has been used as a residence.

Sainsbury in the Echo of 31 July 1907 remembered "seeing two corroborees amongst the aborignals that used to camp in large numbers on the flat where the Shamrock hotel is."

The former Newstead Biscuit Factory Residence, Pyrenees Highway, Newstead is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the Newstead Biscuit and later Confectionary Manufactory which operated on the site from 1862 by Alexander McPhee and from 1865 to 1878 by William Sutherland.

Overall, the former Newstead Biscuit Factory Residence, Pyrenees Highway, Newstead is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The building is built with the verandah on the road boundary of the land. The building is on a relatively flat site with some mature exotic trees planted to one side. The front fence is an early twentieth century timber framed and chain wire fence with a timber picket gate. The building is in two parts. The eastern section has a wide steeply pitched hipped roof with the roof extending at a much flatter pitch to form the front verandah. The western section has a transverse gable roof form. The adjacent return verandah has been extended across the front of the gable. The roofs are clad in corrugated steel. There is a truncated brick chimney on the east section and a large external brick chimney with corbelled brick bands at the top on the western section. The verandah is supported on timber posts. There are no decorative brackets or decorative frieze remaining. The building is clad in square edged weatherboards. The eastern section has a central doorway flanked by wide timber framed windows. A similar timber framed window is in the centre of the front facade of the gable roofed section.

The place has had a significant infestation of white ant by 2011, which has caused considerable damage to the timbers including doorframes.

HISTORY: The land on which this is located (Allotment 19 of Section 12 in the Parish of Tarrengower) was granted to A. McPhee in 1856.

The Shire of Newstead Ratebooks in 1865 list Alexander McPhee as owner and William Sutherland paying rates for a biscuit manufactory, Newstead. At the same time William Sutherland was conducting a bakery in the Township of Newstead (ND/37). In 1867 William Sutherland is still the ratepayer for the buildings. In 1874 and 1875, William Sutherland is described as a confectioner and paying rates for a building, Carisbrook Road, Tarrengower. In 1876 the land is listed as owned by the Oriental Bank Corporation with Sutherland as the tenant. In 1877 William Sutherland, biscuit maker is the tenant with Richard Marks as the owner of a biscuit factory, Carisbrook Road. In 1879 the ratepayer changes to Margaret Sutherland, baker and the premises are described as a biscuit factory and house. Margaret Sutherland is still the ratepayer in 1892 and 1895, with Richard Marks as the owner but the premises is now described as house on the Carisbrook Road opposite the Loddon Leads Hotel. In 1896 and 1897 Richard Marks in the owner and occupier of the house.

The factory stands on the north-western road about a mile to the west of Newstead, and directly opposite the flour mills of Mr. Blyth, J.P. On entering the premises, we were met by Mr. McPhee, the owner, who kindly conducted us over the premises and showed us how he managed to fabricate such tasty goods. The dough is as yet worked by a lever apparatus, whence it is taken to a machine that rolls it out into long cakes...these cakes are then put into a concern that seems to be willing to make biscuits of any size or shape that the operators may choose. Passing through a pair of polished steel rollers, the thin web of dough goes on to an endless cloth on which the "docker"; this by an ingenious arrangement of cogs, pinions and cranks, is made to stamp and cut out the biscuits... Something over two hundred tons per day can be made by this machine when in full work; it is an American notion, and is perfectly effective...on the table we had arranged a sample of the various sorts made in the establishment, sea biscuit, arrow root, coffee, Abernathy, wine, lemon, pic-nic, Boston crackers, ginger nut, soda, squirts...Mr McPhee had persevered and now after eight months he has conquered, he has driven his goods to Maryborough, Daylesford and Castlemaine... Bye and bye when he got fairly going he would invoke the aid of steam..."

The Mount Alexander Mail on 3 January 1865 advertised that the Newstead Biscuit Factory was for sale, McPhee to settle on his farm. On 27 March 1865, Mr. William Sutherland advertised that he had purchased the celebrated Newstead Biscuit Factory with its machinery, fittings and good will and is determined he shall hold their own against all comers. In 1871 William Sutherland advertised the business for sale by tender. The property was described as "Newstead Confection and Biscuit Manufactory, together with all stock &c. The plant comprises the latest improvements in biscuit manufacturing and confectionary. The rolling plant consists of 3 wagons, 10 horses, harness, all in first class order; 1 new jump seat buggy, by Abbot; tinsmiths shop and tools, The freehold consists of the factory, dwelling house, large 12 stall stable, paddock...this property...would not be disposed of were it not for the owner leaving the colony. The railway line surveyed runs close to the factory, which will greatly enhance the value of the freehold." It would appear that the property did not sell and he continued to operate the biscuit factory. William Sutherland died in 1878. His death was reported in the Mount Alexander Mail on 29 June: "It is with extreme regret that we have to notice the death of Mr. William Sutherland, of Newstead, a gentleman who has been so long identified with the town in which he lived, and who was well known over the district. In his time he was a man of great vigour, who threw himself heartily into any work he undertook, whether of a public or social kind. Prominent among the order of Freemasons, his remains will be followed to their last resting place by the brethren of Mt Alexander Lodge of Castlemaine and the Mackenzie Lodge of Newstead."

The Mount Alexander Mail in March 1895 advertised that: "Mrs. Sutherland will sell furniture etc. at her residence opposite the Loddon Leads Hotel" as she was leaving the colony and later reported that the contents had been sold.

This house may have been constructed by Alexander McPhee in the 1850s or by William Sutherland in the 1860s. It was associated with the Newstead Biscuit Factory during the 1870s.

Other intact qualities include the unpainted red brick construction; lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; two unpainted brick chimneys having rendered corbelled tops with terra cotta pots; wide eaves with exposed timber rafters; timber framed double hung windows; timber framed door piece having a timber and glazed door with side and highlights; and the decorative features including the encircling darker toned brick stringcourses, flat arched window and door voussoirs and the gable infill (timber battening and roughcast panelling).

The former Shire Hall, Wyndham Street, Newstead, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the development of the former Shire of Newstead and has importance as its administrative centre from 1907 until 1968.

The former Shire Hall, Wyndham Street, Newstead, is socially significant at a LOCAL level. Although no longer used for its original function, the building is still recognised and valued by the Newstead community for its former municipal purpose.

Overall, the former Shire Hall, Wyndham Street, Newstead, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site is comprised of a brick hall building surrounded by open grassed space with a few exotic trees and shrubs nearby. The front garden has been substantially planted with native trees and shrubs prior to 2011.

The single storey, asymmetrical, unpainted brick, domestic-like Edwardian styled hall building is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a gable that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Two early, unpainted brick chimneys having rendered corbelled tops with terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs and exposed timber rafters are a feature of the eaves. The timber framed double hung windows are early, as is the timber framed doorpiece, having a timber and glazed door with side and highlights. Early decorative features of the design include the encircling darker toned brick stringcourses, flat arched window and door voussoirs and the gable infill (timber battening and roughcast panelling).

Solar panels have been added to the north face of the roof prior to 2011.

HISTORY: It is believed the first local government building in Newstead was a small structure erected by the Newstead Roads Board, which was constituted in October 1860. A contract for a boardroom was let to R. Jennings in 1862 for £124 17s 6d; it opened in 1863.

The boardroom must have proved inadequate, for the Newstead Shire moved to the former Church of England, built c1870, in later years. The building was described by the Castlemaine Leader in 1874 as: 'a small unpretending [sic] brick cottage…but those who manage the shire's finances wisely determine that it is better to spend all the money they can at present on making roads and leave a

A site for a Shire Hall and Offices was gazetted in 1894, however tenders for the building were not received until April 1907. The Hall was designed by Mr. William Gore, the Council's engineer. The contractor, D. M. Borland, and the stonemason, W. R. Redfearn, erected the main building and committee room from Melbourne red brick for the sum of £662 (including the land and fence).

The Newstead and Maldon Echo duly reported the opening of the new Shire Hall - an event that occurred 'without ceremony'. The building was described thus: '[It] is a new departure from ordinary public erections, being like a villa residence with a gable end. The roofs overlap, and the ends near the roof are cemented with rubble and painted, setting off in a great degree the general appearance of the building, which is of brick, and each room is well lighted by windows on the north and west sides, and ventilators [sic] are let into all the walls. The council chamber is on the north side, and is 24 ft by 18 ft. The engineer's and secretary's office face west, and is 17 ft 9 inches by 16 ft. A lobby into which the front door opens is 8 ft square, which will be used for records. The whole of the rooms have a dado of cement plaster, which will take some time to dry, and will then be painted. Above, the walls are plastered and painted white. The ceilings are of stamped and embossed iron, painted cream, and is very pretty, and the hall was found much more comfortable and snug than the old hall.'

New municipal offices were opened at Newstead by Hon. F. J. Granter, MLC in 1968. Built at a cost of $35,000, the building's area of 24 squares contained a large Council chamber, secretary's, engineer's, and general office, ladies and gents cloak rooms, and a tea room. The new offices were built by Brown and Sons of Ballarat and designed by architect L. H. Vernon and Associates of Ballarat.

The former Shire Hall is now used as a private residence.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Took House Place No: SD/02 ADDRESS: 153 Providence Gully Road, Sandon OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The former Took house, 153 Providence Gully Road, Sandon, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the stone and brick wall construction; timber framed, twelve paned, double hung windows and four panelled timber centrally-located entrance door. Also of interest is the early gambrel roof form which represents a significant alteration.

The former Took house, 153 Providence Gully Road, Sandon is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early farming developments in the Sandon area after the decline of gold mining from the mid 1850s. In particular, this property is associated with John Took, local farmer.

Overall, the former Took house, 153 Providence Gully Road, Sandon, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The former Took house, 153 Providence Gully Road, Sandon is situated on a relatively flat site at the base of a low hill. The house has a moderate setback from the road boundary and a now derelict garden setting behind a timber post and rail fence. There is some remnant garden planting. The house has a steeply pitched gambrel roof (which may have been introduced in the 1930s) with the roof extending to form a return verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts. There is no remaining verandah decoration. The house is constructed with a front wall of face bricks with the side walls being of stone. Near one rear corner is a pair of face brick chimneys with decorative corbelled brickwork near the top. The road facade has a central doorway with a four panelled timber door. On each side of the doorway is a twelve paned timber framed double hung windows. There is a side door in the centre of the stone wall. This has brick quoinwork.

HISTORY: The land on which this house is located (Allotment 21 of Section 2 in the Parish of Sandon) was granted to T. Maher in August 1856. He sold part of the property to John Took in April 1862. Took sold the property to Mr. Montgomery in 1893, who in turn sold to Edward Beguin in 1902.

The Shire of Newstead Ratebooks show that John Took was the ratepayer in 1865 for land and building and store and land. The land is described as Green Gully that year but in the 1867 it is described as Sandon. In 1874 John Took is described as a farmer paying rates for agricultural land and house at Green Gully, Allotment 21 of Section 2. By 1879 John Took is paying rates on 100 acres of land and house. He is still listed as the ratepayer in 1890.

In the early part of the twentieth century the occupiers were Polly and Cecil Wilson and in the 1920s the property was lived in by Alan McPherson.

The current owner (2011) understands that a storm in he 1930s destroyed the original roof and chimneys and the existing roof was constructed as a replacement.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Former Strangways Wesleyan Church Place No: SN/03 ADDRESS: 32 Hepburn-Newstead Road, Strangways OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The brick Church, Hepburn Newstead Road, Strangways, is architecturally significant at LOCAL level. It demonstrates original or early design qualities of a Victorian Early English Gothic style. These qualities include the steeply pitched gable roof form and the exposed brick wall construction. Other intact or early qualities include: timber bargeboards that terminate with decorative circular motifs; large, crafted timber finial; lancets and pointed windows having multi-paned diamond glazing; central pointed double door opening having vertical boarded doors; exposed brick buttresses with two copings; decorative masonry details (window sills and copings); and the gabled rear extension having horizontal weatherboard wall cladding and timber framed, double hung, multi-paned windows.

The brick church, Hepburn Newstead Road, Strangways, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the development of the Wesleyan (later Methodist) Church in Strangways from 1864. Importantly, it was the most commodious Wesleyan Church in the Newstead-Green Gully-Strangways region in the 1860s.

The brick church, Hepburn Newstead Road, Strangways, is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is recognised and valued by the Strangways community for religious reasons.

Overall, the brick church, Hepburn Newstead Road, Strangways, is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The church site on the Hepburn Newstead Road, Strangways is characterised by a brick church building in a rural setting surrounded by gum trees.

The exposed brick, Victorian Early English Gothic styled church building is characterised by a steeply pitched gable roof form, now clad in recent and inappropriate corrugated zincalume which may have replaced corrugated galvanised steel cladding. The main gable features timber bargeboards that terminate with decorative circular motifs, and a large, crafted timber finial. Three lancets with multi-paned diamond glazing and a central, pointed double door opening having vertical boarded doors are other features of the main gable end. Exposed brick buttresses with two copings are situated along the longitudinal facades with masonry details distinguishing the window sills and copings of the buttresses. Pointed windows are also located along the longitudinal elevations. At the rear is an early horizontal weatherboard and gabled extension, also having a recent and inappropriate corrugated zincalume roof. This early extension features timber framed double hung, multi-paned windows. The weatherboard extension has been damaged by termites.

HISTORY: Methodism was introduced in the Port Phillip District by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1838. The Wesleyans were particularly active after the onset of the gold rush in 1851, in Fryerstown, as well as in other areas such as Spring Gully, Donkey Gully, Welshmans Reef and at Strangways. The first Wesleyan services at Strangways are said to have been held in Kimpton's barn in the late 1850s or early 1860s.

The Kimpton family donated the land on which the church was built in the 1860s. The Kimpton family lived in a small cottage on the land opposite the church and farmed the surrounding land.

Tenders were first called for the construction of this brick church in July 1864, with the plans and specifications available at 'Mr. Keast's store'. It appears nothing eventuated from this first invitation and tenders were once again advertised in the Echo 'for Mason's, Carpenter's and

The plans and specifications were available at 'Mr. McNeilance's store'. The Strangways Wesleyan Church opened in early 1865, and it became the 'most commodious and stable' Wesleyan church building in the Newstead-Green Gully-Strangways area in the immediate years. By 1883, repairs were required to the roof and for painting, and tenders were called for the work on 3 February 1883. A weatherboard Sunday School was constructed in 1897, measuring 20 feet by 15 feet, and this appears to have been a separate building on the site. The rear weatherboard additions to the Church seem to have been carried out before the turn of the century.

Consultants: Wendy Jacobs, Phil Taylor, Vicki Johnson, and Robyn Ballinger Shire of Mount Alexander: Heritage Study of the former Shire of Newstead, 2000 PLACE: Farmhouse Place No: SN/08 ADDRESS: 532 Newstead-Guildford Road, Strangways OTHER NAME/S: 2011 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The Farmhouse, Newstead Guildford Road, Strangways, is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a late Victorian style. These qualities include the dominant hipped roof form, together with a return verandah that encircles the front and sides of the house. Other intact qualities include: the unpainted brick wall construction; lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; symmetrical layout; three brick chimneys with corbelled tops; modest eaves; timber framed, double hung windows; panelled timber centrally-located entrance door; regularly spaced, small, timber framed, windows and timber verandah posts.

The Farmhouse, Newstead Guildford Road, Strangways, is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the early agricultural developments in the Strangways area after the decline of gold mining from the mid 1850s. In particular, this property is associated with the Peterson family in the twentieth century.

Overall, the Farmhouse, Newstead Guildford Road, Strangways is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The Farmhouse, Newstead Guildford Road, Strangways is set at a moderate set back from the road. There is an early twentieth century rendered brick fence with angled ingo and metal pipe and woven wire gate. There are remnant garden plantings including a large Canary Island Palm to one side of the building. Behind the house are various farm shedding.

The house has a dominant, steeply pitched hip roof clad in corrugated steel. There are two slender, tall brick chimneys with mould rendered tops. The roof has narrow eaves and springing from just below the eaves in a straight pitched verandah roof also clad in corrugated steel. The verandah is supported on square timber posts and returns down both sides of the building. The walls are of face brick. There is a central doorway with transom light over. On either side of the doorway is a timber framed double hung window with a rendered sill.

HISTORY: The land on which this is located (Allotment 33 of Section 4 in the Parish of Strangways) was granted to Donald McNaughton in May 1855. In 1860 the property was conveyed to John McNaughton. He sold the property to Donald Matheson in 1862. In 1890 Donald Matheson sold the property to David Johnson. On his death in 1907 the property was sold to Theodore Peterson who owned the property until 1954 when he sold to Gordon John Holland. In 1965 he sold to Rufus Thomas Chapman who sold it the next year to the Hepburn family.

The 1865 Shire of Newstead ratebooks list Donald Matheson paying rates on a house and land on the Loddon River. In 1874 he is described as a farmer paying rates on allotment 33 of section 4. In 1878 and 1879 he appears to have leased part of the allotment as Abraham Sutcliffe is paying rates on a store and residence, Strangways . Matheson is still paying rates for agricultural land. In 1890 to 1892, when David Johnson is listed as owner, the property is only described as land.

Both McNaughton and Matheson have entries in Victoria and Its Metropolis: "McNaughton, Donald (deceased), Strangways, was born in Argyllshire, Scotland, in 1817, and arrived at Sydney, New South Wales, in 1839. He was married 30th May 1843, to Isabella McPherson, who arrived in Australia in November 1839. Mr. McNaughton was engaged as a shepherd in New South Wales for seven years, and was then for two and half years on the Murrumbidgee, after which he came to Victoria in 1847. Three months later he went back to New

"Matheson, Donald, Strangways, was born in Sutherlandshire, Scotland, in 1827, and arrived in this colony in November 1851, he was engaged in mining successfully at Mount Alexander, Bendigo, Castlemaine and the Ovens, and again at Castlemaine, he next commenced teaming in the various diggings, and after a time bought a farm at Muckleford, on which, however, he remained only for eighteen months; he then purchased another farm at the same place, on which he remained five years, and selling out removed to his present farm of 140 acres of his own land. He is married and has a family of several children."

The building fabric suggests that is was constructed in a late Victorian style. It appears to have been built for the Peterson family.

Some of these were created in the 1970s from the remains of smaller mullock heaps from mine shafts. The mullock was bulldozed into larger heaps to assist with the farming of the area.

The Mullock Heaps, Strangways School Road, Strangways, are of historical interest as they indicate mining activity in the Strangways area. Gold mining sites are of crucial importance for the pivotal role they have played since 1851 in the development of Victoria.

DESCRIPTION: The series of small mullock heaps are in a field and indicate the mining activity in the area. There are numerous sink holes in the area indicating the original sites of the shafts. HISTORY: A number of the existing mullock heaps were created in the 1970s when the mullock from small shafts were bulldozed together to form larger heaps to assist with the farming of the paddocks.

It is associated with the provision of water in the area and with recreational and tourism pursuits from the second half of the twentieth century. This significance is embodied in the outline of the reservoir and the adjacent grassed and treed caravan park.

Overall, Cairn Curran Reservoir is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The Loddon River is the most westerly tributary entering the River Murray from Victoria. It rises on the northern slopes of the Great Dividing Range between Lyonville and Mount Major near Lexton and flows north to enter the Murray River via the Little Murray near Swan Hill. The Cairn Curran Reservoir has a full capacity of 148,760 megalitres which spread over a surface area of 19 square kilometres. The dam embankment is 656 metres long with a maximum height of 43.9 metres. The spillway is 34.4 metres long. The embankment consists of an impervious central core, stabilised by sandy gravel and rockfill zones. The foundation is decomposed granite. A small power station is incorporated into the outlet system. A low overfall spillway is fitted with three large radial gates discharging into an unlined chute in hard granite.

The water is used for some town supplies and private use but used largely for supplementary supplies for domestic and stock purposes and for irrigation in the Boort district.

The Cairn Curran Caravan park is a grassed and treed area adjacent to the reservoir. The area is planted with young native species and has utilitarian amenities blocks constructed from brick with skillion roofs. Fixed seating, picnic tables and fireplaces are provided in area of lawn.

HISTORY: The site of the Cairn Curran reservoir was part of the Cairn Curran pastoral run taken up originally by McLaren and Cunningham. In 1846 Edmund Bryant relocated to Victoria from Tasmania where he had been since 1824. In 1848 he acquired the property between Charlotte Plains and Plaistow. He named it Cairn Curran which is Scottish for "a running range of hills" referring to the three small granite hills on the property. The Bryant family farmed the land until the construction of the dam caused them to relocate to their holdings outside the reservoir basin. The family demolished the residence and rebuilt to the design of Cedric Heisse Ballantyne, Melbourne society architect, who was the brother of Mrs. Kathleen Bryant. This house is outside the former Shire of Newstead area.

Prior to World War 2 the government decided to build a dam on the Loddon River. When test bores downstream from Cairn Curran proved the site unsatisfactory the site was moved further north to the Cairn Curran area. The investigation was suspended for the duration of the war. The works were designed by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission's Senior Designing Engineer, M. G. Speedie and other officers of the Investigations and Designs Branch, under the direction of the Chief Designing Engineer, R.G. Knight. Work commenced on the construction of the reservoir in 1947 and was carried out by day-labour by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission until a restriction of loan funds in 1952 brought about the cessation of work in June of that year. It was not until the beginning of 1955 that sufficient loan funds became available to enable recommencement of construction of the dam. The Commission let the contract to the Utah Construction Co. who had recently completed the Eildon Reservoir. Construction was completed at the end of 1955. The Reservoir was officially opened by The Honourable H.E. Bolte, Premier

In 1967 the Newstead Council purchased approximately 9 acres (2 hectares) of land abutting Cairn Curran reservoir from Messrs K.J. and L.J Leathbridge to develop as a Tourist Area with the aid of subsidies from the Tourist Development Authority and the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission. In 1968/69 they constructed a toilet block, provided a power supply to the area and erected tables, chairs, fireplaces and an incinerator. They planned the following works in the coming years: in 1969/70 to form and seal tracks in the area and provide additional tables and chairs; a second toilet and laundry block, provide camping sites and further work on access tracks was planned for 1970/71; power to camping sites and the commencement of the launching ramp was planned for 1971/72 and to complete the launching ramp and parking area by 1973/74.

The house appears to be substantially intact and features original design qualities of a late Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the main hipped roof form that forms an M-shape at the rear, and the rear skillion wing. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall construction; the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; the narrow eaves; the painted brick chimney with corbelled top; the timber framed doors and double hung windows; the slightly convex shaped roofed verandah supported on timber posts with decorative cast iron brackets and frieze. The garden setting, with its orchard remnants, are also notable and make a contribution to the aesthetic significance of the place. The house also contributes to the character of the Welshmans Reef locality, which has a predominance of 19th century buildings.

Overall, the weatherboard house, Maldon Newstead Road, Welshmans Reef is significant at a LOCAL level.

DESCRIPTION: The site is characterised by a weatherboard house in a garden setting, behind a simple bush timber post and wire fence, part of which is edged by a hedge.

The single-storey, horizontal weatherboard, late Victorian vernacular house is characterised by a hipped roof form that forms an M-shape at the rear. There is also a skillion wing at the rear. Across the front and sides there is a slightly convex curved roofed verandah. The roof forms are clad in corrugated galvanised iron. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. A painted brick chimney with a corbelled brick top is located on one side of the main roofline. A matching chimney on the other side may have been removed. The doors and double-hung windows are timber framed. The verandah is supported by timber posts and features decorative cast iron brackets and frieze.

HISTORY: The Shire of Newstead Ratebooks do not list the Annand name in 1865 or 1867 but in 1874 George Annand is listed as owning a house and land at Sandy Creek. In the 1877 ratebook George Annand is described as a miner and the house is described as adjoining Keidel's part 6. In 1895 his occupation is given as labourer. It would appear that the house was on land occupied under a miner's right as the title was created in 1939 with the Crown grantee given as G.A. Annand. Other families said to have occupied the site include Leathbridge, Clark and Barkla families.

The owner in 2011 stated that they had been told when they purchaed the place that the building had been relocated to the site in approximately 1900.

RECOMMENDED LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE: Local PRECINCT:

The stone building, cottage and hedge, Yandoit Creek Road, Yandoit, are architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. The buildings are believed to have been built in the early 1870s. The grape handling and wine making outbuilding demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian Swiss-Italian vernacular style, reflecting the architectural traditions of northern Italy and particularly the Italian masseria (farmhouses). These qualities include the gable roof form and particularly the unpainted rubble stone wall construction. Other intact qualities include the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, brick chimney, narrow eaves, timber framed window opening at the front and the large opening at the side.

The small cottage demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian vernacular style. These qualities include the simple gable roof form and skillion verandah at the front. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall construction, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, timber framed double hung windows and the central doorway.

The small derelict Victorian vernacular weatherboard cottage with hipped roof and multi-paned double hung windows, the remnant orchard and vines, and particularly the mature hedge forming the front boundary, also contribute to the significance of the place.

The stone building, cottage and hedge, Yandoit Creek Road, Yandoit, are historically significant at a LOCAL level. They are associated with the establishment of Yandoit in the late 1860s and/or early 1870s, with the development of Swiss-Italian farming practices that included dairying, cheese making and wine growing. They are especially associated with Ambrogio Invernizzi, early land owner, wine grower and wine maker from the early 1870s, and later with descendants of the Gervasoni family, a long-time Northern Italian family whose farming interests at Yandoit Creek date back to the late 1850s. During the early 20th century, this property was the social centre for the Gervasoni family.

The Stone Building, Yandoit Creek Road, Yandoit, is scientifically significant at a LOCAL level. The rubble stone wall construction has its roots in the Italian masseria (farmhouses) of Northern Italy and is a rare construction technique in Victoria. The site is also of importance for its ability to provide information contributing to an understanding of the development of Swiss-Italian farming and wine making practices in the 19th century, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential.

Overall, the stone building, cottage and hedge, Yandoit Creek Road, Yandoit, are of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site on the Yandoit Creek Road, Yandoit is comprised of a small cottage, grape handling and wine making building, possible remnant 19th century orchards and vines and a substantial, manicured hedge at the front. The site is a tangible legacy of the wine growing and making enterprises established there in the 1860s and 1870s.

The single storey, rubble stone, Victorian Swiss-Italian vernacular grape handling and wine making building is a dominant feature of the site. It is characterised by a simple, extended gable roof form clad in galvanised corrugated iron, which covers the wine cellar at one end. An unpainted brick chimney adorns the roofline, while narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves.

The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian vernacular cottage is characterised by a simple gable roof form with a skillion verandah at the front. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Two symmetrical, timber framed double hung windows under the front verandah appear to be early, as is the central doorway. The verandah is supported by introduced square timber posts, with an introduced (but appropriate) curving timber valance providing a decorative feature.

There is also another small horizontal weatherboard, Victorian vernacular cottage slightly up the hill to the rear of the main buildings. It appears to be derelict but is characterised by a hipped roof form clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Two symmetrical, timber framed multi -paned double hung windows appear to be early, but the asymmetrically placed door is introduced.

HISTORY: With the first discovery of gold in Yandoit in 1854, large numbers of miners flooded into the gullies and close to the creek. As well as the rapid monetary gains that came with the gold discoveries, were the cultural and farming riches brought out by the immigrant miners and associated workers. The north Italian Gervasoni brothers, Carlo (head), Guiseppi, Luigi and Antonio, were central figures in the establishment of Yandoit from the late 1850s and early 1860s. The Gervasoni brothers and several other families who became farmers at Yandoit, were from the Valle Brembana in the foothills of the Alps above Bergamo, in Lombardy, not far from the Swiss border. Not surprisingly, therefore, the Swiss-Italian vernacular architecture of many of the structures throughout the Yandoit district is reminiscent of the Italian masseria (farmhouses) and their outbuildings of the patriarchal peasant communities of rural Italy.

Carlo and Guiseppi Gervasoni emigrated to Victoria in 1858, with Carlo commencing a dairying business in the Hepburn/Shepherd's Flat area, selling milk, butter and other products to the gold miners. Carlo came to Yandoit Creek in c.1859-60 because of his interest in a tunnelling operation which sought to find gold under the basalt of the Yandoit Hill. Yet it was the rich Yandoit flats which reminded him of his homeland that particularly took his interest, and so he moved to Yandoit with his dairy herd of cows soon after.

Between 1858 and the early 1870s, Carlo was joined at Yandoit by his brothers (Luigi, Antonio and Guiseppi) and fellow northern Italians, Jack Guippore, Battistia Nani and Ambrogio Invernizzi, (who had all tried their hand at gold mining). Invernizzi had been born in 1832 at San Giovanni Bianco, which is close to the Gervasoni's birthplace., and is believed to have arrived in Australia in 1857. A mixed farming company was established which had interests in dairying, vegetable and fruit growing, butter and cheese making, vineyard development and winemaking. Ambrogio Invernizzi was the book-keeper and cook, and was responsible for business transactions. He also grew vegetables, mainly potatoes, and sold them to miners.

In 1868, Invernizzi and Antonio Gervasoni withdrew from the company and they established their own farms on neighbouring land at this time. Ambrogio Invernizzi was granted allotment 26E of Section 2 of the Parish of Campbelltown in 1873 and is believed to have built this cottage and grape handling and wine making building in the early 1870s. He married Frances Margaret O'Sullivan in 1871 and they had eight children. Margaret Invernizzi died of pneumonia in 1882, aged 32 years and Ambrogio died only six years later in 1886.

Under the terms of Ambrogio's will, Luigi Gervasoni and Giovanni Busaschi were appointed guardians of the children and executors of their estate. The home property was bequeathed to

Battista lived on the property and worked the orchards and vineyards that had been Ambrogio's livelihood. He married Bridget Hallinan in 1896 and they raised five children there. Although Paul turned 21 in c.1900 he did not ever live at the property. When he became the owner of the title in July 1902 he was living in Clunes. In about 1906 Battista purchased a neighbouring property and appears to have moved there soon after.

Carlo (Cling) Gervasoni moved into the house in the following years, and he purchased the property in 1925. He continued with the vineyards and wine making for several years and this property became the social centre of Yandoit Creek Swiss-Italian relatives and other friends. The property is still owned by members of the Gervasoni family.

Mein's Freehold Deep Lead Mine is historically significant at a LOCAL level as gold mining sites are of crucial importance for the pivotal role they have played since 1851 in the development of Victoria. The three mullock heaps have scientific significance as evidence of a late 19th century mining. The most northerly mullock heap is a major landscape feature viewed from the Midland Highway which adds to the significance of the site.

Overall Mein's Freehold Deep Lead Mine is of LOCAL significance.

DESCRIPTION: The site consists of three intact mullock heaps on flat land on the Guildford Plateau. The most northerly heap, overlooks the highway and the elevated site makes it a dramatic landscape feature. The middle mullock heap has two parts - a heap of washed pebbles and a heap of mullock. No machinery foundations survive.

HISTORY: June 1876: Mein's Freehold Gold Mining Company. - This company have been very successful in their mining operations up to the present time, having raised a large amount of gold underlying the volcanic formation; the auriferous drift being 200 feet below the surface. A vast amount of work has already been accomplished, and preparations are now being made for more extensive operations underground. The yield of gold during the past quarter has been comparatively insignificant, owing to the ground in the vicinity of the old shaft being completely worked out. A new shaft has been sunk, and 320 feet driven to intersect the main lead, and payable gold obtained.

Dec 1876: Parties puddling or sluicing: Mein's Freehold, Guildford

June 1877: Mein's Freehold G.M. Company. - The company furnish no gold returns for the past quarter, having been engaged shifting machinery to the new shaft, which has been sunk to a depth of 217 feet on the old lead. The great influx of water was a serious obstacle to the sinking... They have now commenced driving on the main levels, and about 20 men engaged.

Dec 1877: Mein's Freehold Gold Mining Company. - This company have now got fairly to work in their new shaft; depth, 200 feet...36 men being constantly employed.

Sept 1878: Mein's Freehold Gold Mining Company have been very active and successful of late, working on private property at Guildford; there are now 42 men employed, the result of the last three months' washing being 436 ozs. 17 dwts., from 3,600 loads of dirt, which gives an average of nearly 21/2 dwts. to the truck. The company have still a large area of ground to operate on, and considering the lead is well defined, and known to traverse the Guildford basalt plains, some important discoveries must eventually be made in the direction of Newstead and Strangways.

Dec 1879: Mein's Freehold Gold Mining Company at Guildford continue to realize good returns from the alluvial workings... 4,050 tons of washdirt has been raised, which yielded 536 ozs. 13 dwts. The company employs 43 men.

They are now sinking an engine shaft near the base of the escarpment, where they will erect machinery and drive thence in the schist bed-rock. Companies are projected to develop other portions of the long-neglected Castlemaine deep leads.

June 1882: Mein's Freehold Gold Mining Company has made good progress in the development of their mine during the past six months. Within a portion of the period mentioned 582 ozs. of gold have been obtained from 7,000 loads of washdirt, from a depth of 230 feet, the lead being 100 feet in width. Some 300 men and boys are regularly employed.
