| 617 | A brick manufacturing operation was established by William Thomas Wittick in partnership with Thomas Ackers, and later David Mitchel. DARLEY REFRACTORIES PTY LTD Centenary 1902-2002 A manufacturing operation to produce bricks was established at the Darley site in 1893 by a partnership between Mr. Thomas Akers and William Wittick. In 1898 David Mitchell - builder of note and supplier of building products - father of Da lie Melba - joined the consortium with an input of funds to maintain operations. It was realised that the vast clay deposit was eminently suitable for making high quality firebricks and with a further injection of money for expansion in 1902, Th e Darley Firebrick Company Pty. Ltd. was formed on the 9th of May, with David Mitchell the majority shareholder. At this time a downdraught kiln and a 30 meter high chimney were built and a steam engine to drive shafts for a pug mill and grinding equipment was installed. By 1907, 4 kilns had been built and a second square chimney for the steam enginer ected. The third chimney to the north was not built until the mid 1940's along with two extra kilns. Some literature suggests this was done in 1909 but photographs dated around 1942 do not show these structures. The Darley Firebrick Company Pty Ltd. continued to trade under this name until the 13th of August 1982 when the name was changed to Darley Refractories Pty. Ltd. This was done to reflect the extended range of products supplied after the purchas e of the assets of the South Yarra Firebrick Company, leaving Darley to be the only producer of firebricks in Victoria. From the earliest times the clay used was tunnelled from a 3 meter high seam 200 by 500 meters in area, some 17 meters underground. The clay was blasted with gelignite, broken up with mattocks and loaded by hand into skips to be hauled to the st ockpile by winch. In 1965 the clay pit was open cut with the removal of around 60,000 tonnes of overburden to expose the fireclay seam. In 1986 the last 15,000 tonnes of clay were removed to a stockpile and the large quarry hole was consequentl y filled with refuse by the local Shire. The general method of making firebricks has altered little over a hundred years although the grinding, extruding and pressing equipment has become much more sophisticated. Clays are still ground and mixed with crushed fired aggregate called grog , to stop excessive shrinkage in the material as it is mixed with water and extruded into a soft lump to be pressed into the desired shape. Right up to the 1960's, many of the larger and special brick shapes were hand moulded. This involved throwing hand sized soft pieces of clay mixture into wooden moulds which had detachable bottom and side inserts shaped to suit the characteristi cs of the firebrick. A typical full gasworks setting would contain up to 1500 tonnes of firebricks with over 100 different shapes. Many of these contained tongues and grooves to provide a gas tight seal and were hand moulded, as were large "D" shaped pipe retorts up to 5 meters in length also used in th ese settings. After shaping and drying, green bricks are fired in a kiln up to 1350ºC to form a ceramic bond giving them strength and integrity. Coke and black coal were used as a fuel to fire the kilns up to 1965 when they were converted to use heavy fuel oil. Probably the most significant improvement to firing was made in 1974, when the change to natural gas occurred. Quality was improved and rejects reduced with the even control of burning temperatures. After 72 years there was no mo re landmark black smoke from the chimneys only the occasional wisp of steam. Most recent improvement in production was the introduction a 500 tonne Laeis dry press. giving the ability to make precision shaped high quality bricks Product sales up to the 1960's were mainly to gasworks in Australia and New Zealand, foundries, munitions, fireplaces, steam boilers and locomotives. In recent years supplies are still for industrial boilers, furnaces, aluminium refining pots, wood heater linings and kiln repairs. Castable high temperature refractory concretes are also manufactured and sold. Historic article written by: Gus Steegstra (previous General Manager) to commemerate Darley Refractories' Centenary in 2002. http://www.darleyrefractories.com.au/about-us.html ================================================================================== Darley's kilns go cold BY PINAR GENCTURK 11/08/2009 5:00:00 AM AFTER more than 100 years, the Darley Refractory has fired the last brick from its historic kilns in Grey Street, Bacchus Marsh. Rotary Club of Bacchus Marsh president David Stewart was at the end-of-an-era occasion at the refractory late last month. "It was the first time I had set foot on the historic property," he said. "I was impressed with the works that went on. The furnace had to be 1200 degrees to make the bricks. "It's disappointing it has come to an end." Former refractory manager Guss Steegstra, who was also there, said it was nostalgic for him. "I was with the company for nearly 40 years and I didn't think it would close down. Cheaper imports coming into the country, mainly from China, have hurt the business over the years. "The site is an icon for Bacchus Marsh. I think it might be sold to another business or developer." Manufacturing of bricks began at the site in 1893 following a partnership formed by Thomas Akers and William Wittick. By 1907, four kilns had been built and a second square chimney for the steam engine erected. A third chimney, to the north, along with two extra kilns, was not built until the mid-1940s. Product sales up to the 1960s were mainly to gasworks in Australia and New Zealand as well as foundries, munitions-makers, and builders of fireplaces. In recent years, supplies from the refractory were used for industrial boilers, furnaces, alum inium refining pots, wood heater linings and kiln repairs. In 2002, private buyers bought the Darley business, which was part of Refractories Australia Pty Ltd, and changes were made to the business. A message on the company's website said that from day one, new managing director Mark Taylor "realised t here was a cultural problem in the business". "Darley needed to change very quickly for its future," the website message said. "Work practices have been reformed and professional production personnel employed. Staff who would not change have gone." Management at Darley Refractories refused to comment on the future of the site and how many employees might lose their jobs if-when it shuts down. | WITTICK, William Thomas (I387)

| 618 | A GLENROWAN STATION-MASTER. AN INCIDENT OF THE KELLY GANG. Mr. John Stanistreet died at his resi-dence, Echuca street, Quarry Hill, on Monday morning. About five weeks ago he was taken ill with jaundice, and despite the constant attention of Dr. Gaffney, dropsy supervened. He was of a very genial disposition, and during his short residence here made a large number of friends. He was a native of Cork, and came to Victoria about 33 years ago. After being in the colony three or four years he got an appointment on the rail-ways as stationmaster at Glenrowan. Whilst there he passed the most exciting periods of his life. He was there at the capture of the Kelly gang in June, 1880. The Kelly's, who were in danger of arrest after they stuck up Glenrowan, tried to coerce him to instruct the platelayers to take up part of the line, so as to wreck the train, which was carrying policemen sent out specially to arrest the gang. He, however, refused, saying that that was not what he was there for. Even when Ned Kelly threatened to shoot him he still refused. Later on the gang, having themselves taken up part of the line, tried to make him show a white light (which siguifies "no danger") to the driver of the incoming train so as to lure the police and others on to destruction. Mr. Stani-street, however, would not do so. Ned Kelly then stood him up and threatened to shoot him. But it was to no effect. The ruffians were impressed by his great courage, and did not attempt to carry their threat into effect. Ned Kelly said "There's too much pluck in him, I don't think a bullet was ever made f or him. " Stanistreet was afterwards with most of the residents of the little township locked up in one of the hotels, so that he should not interfere with the gang's designs in wrecking the train. Six months after the destruction of the gang he was promoted to the charge of the Morwell Station, Gippsland. Two years later he was transferred to the Derby Railway Station, which he man-aged until pensioned off four years ago. He then came to Bendigo, and resided at Quarry Hill ever since. He was a very active member of the Calvin-street Methodist Church. He was 69 years of age, and leaves a widow and grown up family of six sons and two daughters. Deceased's father, Dr. Rich-ard Stanistreet, died at Cork a short time ago at the age of more than 90 years. In accordance with his dying wish and his being opposed to ostentatious costly funerals, the coffin containing his corpse was carried by his sons to the Bendigo Cemetery and buried privately. The Rev. J. A. Westacott read the burial service. A large number of wreaths and floral tri-butes were sent bv sympathizing neighbors and friends in Melbourne.—"Indepen-dent."

| 622 | A two room shack made of slabs on end with plenty of room for ventilation, but the best thing about the building was the chimney. Evidently bricks were cheap because they used 1500 in this one chimney. It took up almost one end of the building. (From the Memoirs of Arthur Ernest Stephenson (Youngest son of Annie & Dr, Richard Stephenson)) Probably had a shingle roof, the fire place would have been an open fire. Outside the door was a well about forty feet deep. At a much later date it was lined. Some time after this house was built a second house of 4 rooms was built in front.The old house was relegated to being the Kitchen for the bigger house. The new house served several families over many years until the 1980's when it was demolished to make way for a modern house.
