Statement of Significance
The Tullis Mill was the first general purpose mill in the Marradong area. It was posed a significant industry for the local economy and attracted residents into the town of Boddington.
Physical Description
The mill was a large metal structure, lined by worker's cottages surrounding the industry equipment. A 1.6km long railway connected the mill to the WAGR at 91 Mile Siding. Nowadays, nothing remains of the timber operations as everything was sold as soon as the mill discontinued use.
History
Tullis Mill was opened by Bunnings in 1936. Workers resided near the Mill in small settlements or travelled the eight miles from Boddington.
The Mill was situated in association with the railway siding to aid in the transportation of timber. The Tullis mill was the first general purpose Mill within the Marradong Roads Board. It made a significant economic contribution to the town of Boddington.
Both Hakea and Tullis Mills were closed in 1952. The infrastructure of the mill, including worker's cottages, were sold to the highest bidder.
