1 \ I -I , I 1I I I I I I I I 1. Introduction I Robert Hunter of Leighton Contractors pty. Ltd. commissioned Edward Higginbotham of Consultant I Archaeological Services on 14 February 1985 to undertake an archaeological and historical investigation of the I site of the proposed Commonwealth Government Office Block I at Parramatta, NSW (figure l~l). The site of the proposed office block is contained within I the city block bounded by George, Macquarie, Marsden and O'Connell Streets, Parramatta (figure 1.2). Specifically the site contains that land referred to in Deposited Plan I nos. 703973 and 101367, covenant N300880, and part of Book ~83 no. 979 (figure 1.3). For the purposes of the I historical outline (Section-2) and the title search (Appendix 1), the site originally formed part of Section I 13 of the township of Parramatta, lot nos. 1-3, 7 part, 89 part, and 90-92 (figures 2.3 and 2.4) • I In the time available to complete this study, it has been II impossible to thoroughly research some items, for example, the structures and buildings associated with the settlement between 1788 and 1830, or Vallack's Brewery a from the 1840s to the _early twentieth century. However sufficient research has been undertaken to make valid I recommendations concerning the archaeological remains on I the site. To make a rapid appraisal of this report the reader may I wish to refer direct to the recommendations in Section 3 before consulting the supporting historical evidence in I Section 2. I I I I I 2 I 2. Historical Outline I 2.1 Early Settlement A settlement at Rose Hill (renamed Parramatta) was I founded in November 1788, in the first year of the European ~ccupation of , then the penal colony I in New South Walesl • Little is known of the early settlement, but its I importance as the second site chosen for a township after Cove is not doubted2 • Parramatta lay at the head 1 of navigation on theParramatta River and served the surrounding agricultural districts on which the early I penal colony became heavily dependent.

The historical evidence relating to the earliest 1 settlement at Parramatta may be summarised with reference to an illustration dated to 1790 of George Street, and 1 the -Government House at Parramatta, which was published in 1798 in David Collins' account of the early colony3 1 (figure 2.1). This print depicts the huts or small houses on either side of George Street and in the -I distance Government House.

Furthemore the layout of the township is clearly I· indicated in a plan dated to c.1813, which shows the approximate sites of buildings, leases, and other public 1 buildings and establishments4 (figure 2.2) •

1 2.2 Section 13. lots 1-3. 7 part. 89 part. and 90-92. 1 At an early stage in the development of Parramatta, the growing township was divided up according to common practice into a number of sections and allotments or I lots. The subject of this study is part of Section 13, I I - --.";---.-- ~I I I 3 bounded by George, Macquarie, Marsden and O'Connell I Streets (figures 2.3 and 2.4). Detailed evidence on lot numbers 1 to 3, parts of 7 and 89, and 90 to 92 has been I obtained by undertaking a title search for each lot (Appendix 1). Prior to the grant or town purchase from I the Crown the evidence relating to each lot may be obscure. In this case the land was alienated from the Crown between 1831 and 1853. Prior to alienation, and in I general in the earlier periods, land transactions may not have been registered. A proportion of these transactions I may be traced from other sources but others are lost.

I In general prior to alienation from the Crown, and with title vested only in leases, individuals were not I encouraged to make substantial improvements to the property in their possession. Only with the granting of secure title did the situation change, with owners then I willing to commit large amounts of capital to building and other improvements. Thus before alienation there is I little evidepce for structures of a more substantial type than those illustrated in the 1790 engraving (figure I 2.1) • I The title search demonstrates an increasing rate of development on each lot after alienation from the Crown. From vacant land, or la~d with only a small building or I hut upon it, most lots develop and serve a residential function. A brief glance at the Department of Lands I detail map of 1895 indicates that most of the buildings are of a type common in the residential areas of the I older suburbs of Sydney, namely large examples of Victorian detached and terraced buildings (figure 2.5). Both the title search and the 1895 map indicate the I . subdivision and regrouping of various lots and other I blocks of landS. I I rt ------I I 4 Of note is the reference to a house which stood on lot 89 I' as being let to 'Mr. Cunningham, the Botanist,6. This person may be identified as Allan Cunningham who apart I from his botanical interests was responsible for several major discoveries and exploration in Australia. He found and opened up a viable route onto the Liverpool Plains in I 1823, and in 1827 discovered vast tracks of excellent I grazing land which he named the Darling Downs. The two exceptions·to the predominantly residential role I of this section (no. ~3) at Parramatta are illustrated on the 1895 plan (figure 2.5), namely the Park Gate Hotel at I the corner of O'Connell and George Streets, and Vallack's Brewery on Macquarie street. 'A contemporary photograph I of the hotel indicates the date 1911 on the parapet, but this need not be the construction date for the building (figure 2.6). The same bu~lding appears to be I illustrated on the 1895 map, (figure 2.5). i'l Vallack's Brewery. Macguarie street

I I Lot 91 of Setion 13 (figure 2.4) was granted to Thomas Reynolds, a licenced innkeeper of Parramatta on 18 I January 18417 • Reynolds' daughter, Elizabeth Mary, married James Edward Vallack, a brewer. On his death in 1849, T. Reynolds left lot 91 to his daughter, the I property being described in the will of 2 April 1849 as 'now in the occupation of his son in law James Edward I Vallack,8. The most probable interpretation is that Vallack had established a small brewery on Lot 91 between I 1841 and 1849. The next significant development began on 3 November 1883 with the sale of Vallacks Brewery to I Messrs. William Barnard Walford of Sydney, and Solomon Emanuel of Goulburn for £15009 • On the same date Messrs. Walford and Emanuel bought lot 90 and part of lot 9210 I (figure 2.7). I ~ I I 5

I Solomon Emanuel and william Walford had been closely associated with Goulburn Brewery between 1864 and 187511 • I They had purchased the brewery in partnership with W.E. Sparke and were responsible for the modernisation and enlargement of the establishment. With their purchase of I lots 90, 91 and part of 92 Walford and Emanuel immediately set about rebuilding and extending Vallack's I Brewery and had nearly completed this task by 188512 (figure 2.8). The plan of the brewery is illustrated in I the 1895 map (figure 2.5). The buildings bear a strong resemblance to Goulburn Brewery, both in layout, function I and appearance, and confirm that Walford and Emanuel played a major role in designing both establishments. I The Brewery closed early in the twentieth century and was leaped to Henry William Meggitt in 190712 • Meggitt Ltd. I . subsequently bought the property in 1911 and used the buildings to house equipment for the manufacture of I linseed oil and related products13 (figure 2.9) •

I Stormwater channel and drain I A watercourse originally drained across Macquarie and George Streets as it flowed towards Parramatta River. The present stormwater drain along this course is I illustrated in figure 2.10. At an early date the drain was bridged at George Street14, but for most of its I remaining length it was left as an open channel probably until the twentieth century. For example the 1895 plan I (figure 2.5) shows it clearly as an open drain, although it appears to have been regulated within an artificial I channel.

A proposal for placing the stormwater channel in a I conduit is illustrated in figure 2.11. This plan is not I I ~ I I 6 dated but from the names of the owners or occupiers on I each lot it must be dated after 186615 • The plan shows that only a small part of the drain is covered in, namely I in lot 7, but it is not clear whether the oval brick drain was ever constructed even in part. An inspection I of the drain on 12 March 1985 with the kind assistance of the Engineering Department (contact: Ron Hartley) of the Parramatta City Council revealed little information. The I drain was only accessible from Macquarie street so that the full length of the drain could not be inspected. I Under Macquarie street there is a section of sandstone box drain but at the south end of the site the drain is I constructed in concrete, and dry pressed brick, and capped with concrete slabs.

Such a statement would require more detailed research than this investigation I has been able to provide in the available time. Instead from the historical outline (Section 2) it is possible to 1 identify various items which have more cultural '1 Significance than others. These items include 1. the evidence relating to early settlement of 1 Parramatta from 1788 to c.1830.

2. Vallack's Brewery l840s which was rebuilt and 1 enlarged between 1883 and 1885.

1 The small buildings and huts of the early settlement at Parramatta (figure 2.1) provide evidence of the condition 1 and way of life of the first years of the penal colony from 1788 onwards. The opportunity to investigate this I type of building and the way of life of its occupants is very rare. In Sydney there is no known instance of this 1 type of building from such an early period surviving as an archaeological site. This makes the evidence for the early settlement beside George Street and other streets 1 in the heart of Parramatta all the more important. The later development of Parramatta need not have destroyed I' the remains of these early structures. Buildings ·of two to three storeys without cellars do not destroy the 1 earlier evidence on a wholesale basis. This however cannot be said for the more intensive development of the 1 City of Sydney. Only recently with the rapid growth of Parramatta have those early remains come under threat of I· 1 , I I 9 I total destruction. Vallack's Brewery on Macquarie street (figure 2.5) is I important as an industrial enterprise. Its place in the development of the brewing industry in Australia cannot I be established without detailed comparative evidence. However several questions remain which may be answered by _I archaeological investigation for example: 1. the dimensions and location of buildings associated I with Vallack's Brewery in the period from the 1840s I to the 1883 reconstruction. 2. the function of each building of Vallack's Brewery I in the 1840s to 1880s period • .1 3. the layout and function of the buildings associated with the Brewery between 1885 and its subsequent I demolition. Apart from the evidence relating to the early settlement I of Parramatta and for Vallack's Brewery, questions remain concerning the stormwater channel crossing the site I (figure 2.10) for example:

1. When was the watercourse put in an artificial I channel?

I 2. How does the watercourse relate to the drain I structures under Macquarie and George streets? 3. Was the proposal outlined in figure 2.10 ever I undertaken? I I I r I I 10 4. What is the structural history and description of I the drain in the section between Macquarie and I George streets? 3.2 Condition of archaeological remains I The proposed site for the Commonwealth Government Office Block at Parramatta is today a vacant lot used I temporarily as a car-park. All the buildings and structures on the site have been demolished. Remains I associated with the Brewery can be observed on the surface and may give a good indication of the location I and dimensions of these buildings. During the site inspection (12 March 1985) such surface remains could not I be viewed comprehensively as they were obscured by parked cars. Remains of other structures may be visible.

I Inspection of geotechnical survey logs would reveal the depth of fill, in other words the depth of archaeological I stratification. These have not as yet been inspected, but from the available historical evidence there seems I little doubt that remains of the early settlement and buildings would survive outside the area of the Brewery. I 3.3 Recommendations

I The following recommendations are formulated on the basis of material contained in the previous pages of this I report.

I It is recommended that: I Early settlement 1788 to 1830s

1. detailed historical research be undertaken on the I early settlement of Parramatta from 1788 to 1830 I I rl-----~­ I I 11 with special reference to section 13 of the I township.

I 2. Pictorial and cartographic material relating to this early period be collected and the location of I archaeological remains on section 13 be pinpointed as closely as possible by overlaying old survey and I plans onto modern maps. 3. the depth of fill layers (archaeological deposits) I be established by the following means, either the inspection of geotechnical survey logs or by I auguring.

I 4. An area be archaeologically excavated in a location most likely to contain remains of structures I belonging to the early settlement of Parramatta, 1788 to c.1830s. The area excavated should be sufficient to understand and interpret the remains I and should be pinpointed by the methods outlined in I recommendations 1-3. 5. An application be made to the Heritage Branch of the I Department of Environment and Planning for an excavation permit in order to undertake the I excavation outlined in recommendation 4.

6. Sufficient time should' be allowed for the completion 1 of excavation prior to the commencement of any I, development of the site. 7. the future of the archaeological remains after the 1 excavation should be discussed with the Heritage Branch of the Department of Environment and I Planning. I I £~----c-- _...... " ".-. I I 12 I ya11ack's Brewery. 1840s 8. the location, dimensions and function of the -I buildings and other evidence relating to Va11ack's Brewery should be recorded during the mechanical I excavation for footings and basements of the proposed office block (watching brief) •

I 9. the structural h.istory, descr iption and other evidence relating to the stormwater drain should be I recorded during the mechanical excavation for footings and basements of the proposed office 1 building (watching brief) •

I' General

10. Any other evidence relating to the history of the 1 site should be recorded, sampled or collected during the watching brief described above in I recommendations 8 and 9.

1 11. the watching brief should be undertaken by a qualified archaeologist with at least one I assistant. I 12. the watching brief should be limited in duration to the removal of fill 1aye.rs (archaeological deposi ts) 1 from the site. 13. the contract for the excavation of the site for the I proposed development should contain such stop work contingency clauses as may be necessary, sufficient I to allow for the proper recording of the a'rchaeological remains located during the watching I brief (recomm~ndations 8-12) • I I I 13

Appendix 2. Description of the new brewery in Macguarie street. Parramatta. 1885.

I An account of the new Vallack & Co. brewery (Messrs. Walford & Emanuel) • I From an account in Fuller's County Cumberland Directory, Yearbook and Calendar for 1886, Parramatta, 1885. pp. xxiii-iv. This has been abbreviated from an account in the Cumber land I Mercury, 12 December 1885, which is no longer extant. 'The brewery stands on about an acre and a half of ground. The more elevated portion or tower is five storeys high, and the I platform on the top is sixty feet above the asphalt. At every stage there are the best appliances, in roomy and well ventilated apartments. The cooling room is a place to yearn for I in weather like that of this week. The sides can be thrown open after the fashion of venetian blinds, and in the centre are large fans, fixed horizontally and made, when on duty, to revolve at the rate of 280 revolutions per minute, just over the I surface of what may best be described as a shallow wooden box, about as large as the room, and capable of holding sixty hogsheads at a time. As the plant is arranged for a thirty I hogshead brew this is abundantly large enough to cause the hot liquor to spread over a vast surface of wood, while the fans do refrigerating work above. There is a perfect windstorm when I they are in full work. On other floors the fermenting vat~ do their work, and by and by the ale or· stout finds its way to the cellars, where it rests until required by the retailer and the consumer. Each floor is fitted with not arid cold water pipes, I with hose available in case of fire. All the boiling is done by steam. The upper storey of the main building is occupied as a store room. On the first floor also is the office. A steam I lift capable of raising a ton goes to the topmost storey. The three upper floors have apartments 9 ft. in height, the first floor is 11 ft. and the ground floor is 13 ft. from floor to I ceiling. Below are the three cellars, of which two measure 90. feet by 26 feet, and one 90 feet by 14 feet. The store room referred to is also 90 feet by 26 feet. Behind the building is the cask-washing stage, measuring 20 feet by 15 feet, which has I a false bottom of sawn timber, the washings and slops finding their way through to the true floor, which is of cement and sloped so as to drain quickly. A delivery stage and delivery I clerk's office are going up on the east side of the main building, to expedite the loading of the waggons, the stage measuring 30 feet by 12 feet. Across the yard is the cooperage, I where all the repairing necessary is done, and where it is found profitable even to make a large number of the casks sent out. The architects for the brewery were Messrs. Lewis and Sons. The builder was Mr. H. Coates, of Parramatta. The motive power for I all machinery, etc. is supplied by a 12 h.p. 'nominal' Tangye I I rT ~------~------:------. I I 30 engine. The boiler would be suitable for a 30 h.p. engine, being large enough to supply steam for heating purposes, and hot I water for boiling'.
