23523 Waroona-Lake Clifton Railway

Statement of Significance

The place is associated with the transportation of the first lime extracted for the manufacture of cement in Western Australia. It is a remnant of the railway line constructed to serve the Western Australian Portland Cement Company’s works at Lake Clifton which later became the successful Swan Portland Cement. The place provides an example of a privately constructed railway line to service industry in Western Australia, and the State government’s encouragement of such a venture for their later purchase.

Physical Description

The place comprises a segment of the former Waroona to Lake Clifton Railway line, namely that portion between the Lake Clifton townsite and the Codford siding. A series of formations and cuttings can still be discerned within this segment. A survey of the Waroona to Lake Clifton Railway line (P23523 Waroona-Lake Clifton Railway) in 1984 found little evidence at Waroona but an old formation following an irrigation channel was located a few miles to the west and the bridge over the Harvey River was in use as a road bridge at this time. In 2002 an archaeological survey of the Lake Clifton Lime Works site (P8637 Lime Works), which is situated in within P16114 Yalgorup National Park, indicated that little remains of the physical fabric. However, the brick constructed Roaster remains relatively intact, remnant pump stands are discernible, some fabric associated with the railway, jetty piles, and a boundary fence remain extant. In addition, some foundations and domestic refuse associated with what may have been the work camp site were noted during the survey.

History

In April 1916 John Henry Johnson, via an Act of Parliament, acquired a lease from the Crown at Lake Clifton. The lease was for the purpose of working the lime deposits in the area. As part of the lease agreement a railway was to be constructed from Lake Clifton to Waroona within 2 years, a line which the government reserved the right to purchase once complete. Subsequently the West Australian Portland Cement Company was formed in November 1918 and a cement manufacturing plant was established at Burswood (now Rivervale) 1918-1919. This was the first cement producer in Western Australia with all cement prior to this being imported from the eastern states. It is understood the extraction of lime-marl had commenced at Lake Clifton in 1919. By late 1919 clearing for the railway line to Waroona had commenced and the line was completed by March 1921. Transportation of the lime-marl via rail to Waroona and then to Perth via the South West Railway line, subsequently commenced. The venture at Lake Clifton was short lived as it was soon recognised that the lime-marl extracted was of an inferior quality. Bankruptcy followed shortly after with the operation closed in September 1923. The Lake Clifton Railway line was taken over by the government in August 1922 and was closed in May 1924. It is understood the rails and sleepers were removed shortly thereafter and used in the construction of a portion of the Lake Grace-Newdegate railway.

N/A

Statement of Significance

The hall has played an important part in the community, social and cultural life of Waroona in its many roles as a church, slavation army headquaters, and now a Scout/Guide Hall.

Physical Description

A single storey symmetrical building with timber and weatherboard cladding to dado height then asbestos clad to roof on exposed timber footings with access via timber stairs. The hall has a gabled roof and gabled front porch both with half-timbered effect in the gable, double hung sas windows and a sun hood is located on the northern side window.

History

Possibly built in 1941, for the Salvation Army, although its style is more reminiscent of the Federation period (1890-1915). It was then taken over and used as the Baptist Church, possibly in the mid-late 1960s, then in the 1970s was turned into the Scout and Guide Hall, which was their second headquarters.

Construction Date

Constructed from 1915

Demolition Year

N/A

Statement of Significance

One of the few original public buildings remaining in the district located near the railway line where initial commercial development occured. Possibly the only known building of this architectural style in the townsite.

Physical Description

A two storey brick and asbestos building featuring gabled roof with decorative timber barge board, projecting bays (enclosed). Some modern additions and alterations have occurred which are not sympathetic to the original design.

History

Waroona originally had three functioning hotels: The Drakesbrook Arms Hotel, The Waroona Hotel and The Farmers Arms Hotel. The original Waroona Hotel is not the current Waroona Hotel. This has often led to some confusion. The hospitality industry in Waroona began with a licence issued to Sarah Jane Warwick in January 1897 and was listed an Eating, Boarding and Lodging Licence in Drake’s Brook (Drakesbrook and Waroona were effectively the same place). In the same year there were two more listings; one a Wayside House Licence issued to William Warwick (who we assume was Sara’s husband) for Drakebrook Arms Hotel and in the same month there was a Provisional Licence issued to Alfred Thomas Prout for the Drakes Brook Hotel. The first indication of a licence for the original Waroona Hotel was granted to William McNeil in July 1899 and the Police Gazette (pg 206) listed it as a Provisional Licence and then in October 1899 (pg. 304) the licence was upgraded to a General Publican’s Licence. In the meantime, the Farmers Arms Hotel located at Brookside house continued operating for about four years until November 1903, when David McClure applied to have his publication’s licence transferred to a new two storey building located on lots 64 and 65 Fouracre Street in the Waroona townsite. The transfer took place in 1904 and the name was altered to the New Farmers Arms Hotel. This is where the current Waroona Hotel now stands. The original Waroona Hotel registered by William McNeil was located on Lot 1 McNeil Road, where the cattle yards are located near Coronation Road. For those not familiar to the area, it is on the other side of the railway line from the present location of the current Waroona Hotel. McNeil’s old Waroona Hotel was listed in the Post Office directory for the last time as a hotel in 1928. For a period, the building was used as a boarding house before closing, and finally being demolished in 1967. (The above information has been provided by Anthony Horne of the Waroona community).

Statement of Significance

The former post office building has rarity value in that it is the only remaining building of the Wagerup townsite. It was built through the efforts of the local community and would have been an important gathering place for them.

Physical Description

Building constructed from cement bricks, with jarrah floorboards and plaster walls. Cement foundation (tempered with gravel) and a corrugatediron gabled roof and skillion front verandah. The building is in poor condition owing to vandalism and weathering.

History

About 1944 a new post office building was erected by local residents who raised the necessary money by running dances and asking for donations. The land was apparently donated by the Browns. The three trustees of the new post office were Alf Brown, Merrick Tyler and Albert Trotter. From the late 1950's until its closure the post office was run by the Dundon family. Wagerup Post Office closed in 1977. This building is the only remnant of the Wagerup townsite. Bricks made by Noel Skinn and Noel Palmer The Wagerup Post Office also held the telephone exchange.

Statement of Significance

The former factory is a reminder of the importance of the dairy industry in this area, and the subsequent products manufactured as its secondary industry. The factory provided an important means of employment for the local community as well as beyond, and would have had an impact on the development and growth of the town and its infrastructure.

Physical Description

An industrial complex built for Nestlé and Anglo Swiss Milk Company in 1932, comprising the former milk condensing factory administration building, laboratory building, toilet block, stores, creamery, garages, amenities block, and barracks-style workers’ quarters. A series of mixed styled buildings, in brick, timber weatherboard and corrugated iron , which reflect the pattern of development and growth of the factory operations.

History

The factory opened in August 1932, built on a portion of Robert Lyons' farm. Waroona was selected as the location for the Nestle factory in WA because of the many dairy farms in the Waroona, Hamel and Cookemup areas and there was a good supply of fresh water. In 1966, Nestle closed its operations due to the loss of local supplies and inability to compete with the manufacturing places closer to Perth, and the factory was taken over by Peters Creameries. The buildings remained empty after Peters ceased operations but small businesses utilised some of the buildings until 1982 when the complex was sold to Charles Hull Contracting Pty Ltd.

Statement of Significance

St Patrick's Church has aesthetic significance having landmark value with its prominent corner location on the main street of town and because of its unique architectural style in relation to the other buildings within proximity.

Physical Description

The design of the church is Inter-War Romanesque despite its construction date falling into the Post-War period. This style is reflected in the moderately low-pitched gable roof, central wheel window set in a rounded arech and featuring a machicolation motif within the gable.

History

The first Catholic Mass held in Drakesbrook was celebrated in 1901 by the Rev. Father Donogher in the Drakesbrook Hall. The first Catholic Church in Waroona was opened in 1906, called St Mary's, and was the only Catholic Church between Bunbury and Armadale at the time. It was designed by Mr Cavanagh and the builder was Dawson Bros. Timber was donated by Millar's Trading Co. and the land was donated by Mr Barrett. In 1909, the districts of Pinjarra, Waroona, Yarloop and Harvey were constituted a Parish. Rev. Father Fahey was parish priest, residing in Yarloop. In 1914, Fahey was succeeded by Rev. Father McCabe and later Father Doddy. St Patrick's was built in 1941 and replaced St Mary's. The official opening was held on 19 August 1941, blessed by the most Rev. R. Prendiville. The architect was Mr E. Le B. Henderson and the contractors were Messrs Matheson and Spencer.

Statement of Significance

The former lime works was the only one in the district and is representative of a short-lived industry and its associated community and infrastructure of Lake Clifton. The remaining kilns are also significant in representing the sequence of the evolutionary pattern in the lime industry in WA.

Physical Description

A red brick industrial building with circular ventilation openings. Mostly in ruins, though indications of the operation process of the works is still evident.The Lime Works at Lake Clifton are free-standing brick drying kilns, rectangular in shape and possibly used a combination of technologies from various operating kilns, namely shaft of bottle kilns and a slight variation on the tower kiln.

History

WA Portland Cement Company (WAPCC) was founded in 1918 by Robert Law, J L Ochiltree (an architect) and William Thorley Loton (former Mayor of Perth). The lime would have been quarried wet from the nearby Lake Clifton and dried in the kilns at the Lime Works. The lime was exclusively used to mix with cement and form a setting agent. When the WAPCC was established, so too was a small thriving settlement including a railway line which transported the lime. Photographs in Sneli's book of the lime kiln show that it was still operating in 1927, however, WAPCC did eventually cease operations at Lake Clifton as the lime was not suitable for their purposes.

Statement of Significance

One of the first farming properties in the district, and associated with an early pioneering family. It is also infamous in its assocation with the murder of Leah Fouracre.

Physical Description

Originally was large and square and contained 8 rooms. On the opposite side of the main road were the stockyards and barns where relays of horses were kept for the Bunbury mail coach.

Leah ran the property as a farm (Peppermint Grove) In later years the homestead became famous as the scene of the murder of Leah Fouracre, in 1907. The house was set on fire by the murderer, Augustin de Kitchilan.

Statement of Significance

Significant for its association to the Masonic Lodge and its members who traditionally contribute to their local community.

Physical Description

A single storey timber, asbestos and Hardiflex clad hall with gabled corrugated iron roof and gabled fron porch with access by concrete stairs. Small ventilation windows are located near to the roof of the building, which were added by the lodge members. A brick toilet block is at the rear of the hall.

History

In 1948/49, an asbestos and corrugated iron fruit shed was purchased by the Drakesbrook Lodge members from Parker Brothers. The original shed measured approximately 40'x20'. The roof of the shed was removed and the shed was then transported to its current position. The site for the lodge consisted originally of two lots - one having been donated to the lodge by the McNeill family and the other purchased by the lodge. These two lots were then combined to form the one lot. Once the shed had been transported, additions were made to the shed to accommodate lodge requirements (to include a dining room and kitchen) with the final dimensions of the lodge room (the original shed) being approx. 70'x36'. Hardiflex panelling was used in addition to concrete for the floor of the dining room and kitchen. A front porch was also added. Drakesbrook Lodge No. 241 was dedicated on 13 December 1952 by MW Bro J. A. Ellis (Grand Master). Prior to the erection of the lodge building, lodge members met at the Drakesbrook Road Board hall. A brick toilet block was added to the rear of the lodge in 2000.

Statement of Significance

Allendene has historic and social significance in its many roles - as an early residence still extant in the town and because it was one of the first boarding houses, as well as the first convent for the Order of St Joseph and utilised as a classroom. It s pleasing design and landscaping give the residence aesthetic value.

Physical Description

A single storey assymetrical residence with a hipped roof, gabled by to the southern end and skillion front verandha with timber posts and contemporary cross-railing. The house is set in landscaped garden with matuer trees.

History

Built in the 1930s by the Struck family of Nangabrook. The residence was named "Allendene" after Vivian Struck's sister, Allen, who died of pneumonic flu after World War I. Vivian Struck was the landlady of what became a guesthouse in Drakesbrook, housing people who worked in the town. Many of the guests included local school teachers, Whittacker's employees and the men who built the first bank in town - the Bank of NSW (later Westpac). In 1943, owing to financial difficulties during the war, the Struck's sold the guesthouse to the Order of St Joseph for use as their convent. Allendene's central room was used as the first classroom until the old St Mary's Church was converted into classrooms. The nun's continued to teach music in the convent. In the 1980s, the Hopkin's (originally from Falkirk, Scotland) purchased the property and renovated the house and renamed it the Drakesbrook Guesthouse. In 1999, the Hopkin's sold the guesthouse.
