When he married fairly fifteen years of Man, he required to use a health as training to the Countess of Ulster, Dating here as a degree and conduct. In the four years September 1886 to September 1890, contracts for a total of 92 signal boxes were let, for a total outlay of £21,850, not including contracts with McKenzie & Holland, which amounted to £58,760 for the three years 1888-91. [31], Local firms therefore took the lion’s share of the contracts. The gas company thought its gas lighting could compete and put in a tender, but the representatives of Edison-Bell were so sure of the new technology that they contracted to install the equipment at their expense, on the understanding that the VR would purchase it if satisfactory. The Leader, Saturday 24 August 1889, p.21. The following year two thirds of the new railways opened were in wheat growing districts. This high level meeting must have been a curious diversion for road users stuck at the crossing while train after train rumbled past! Geoffrey Chaucer was in his early 20s - he fought in the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) and was captured in 1360 at the Battle of Rheims, married around 1366, but didn’t start work on the Canterbury Tales until the 1380s. When railways were built the station buildings provided were often rudimentary, a policy that also kept construction costs down. On Saturday night, 4th July 1885 the first tracks were slued onto the new high level embankment by an army of 200 navvies who worked under electric lights powered by a generator set up by Kynaston Lathrop Murray, the VR Telegraph Engineer. Just as Richmond to the east of the city needed a radical rebuilding to eliminate a level crossing and accommodate extra tracks for increased traffic, so too did North Melbourne. p.31.↑, Jos. In 1889 Brighton Beach got a new station for a similar price tag. The Land Boomers. In March 1924, Frank married Lillian Johnston. Not only did the driver comply, but he failed to notice his train veering into the branch, or the red lamp being waived by a frantic shunter working in the cattle sidings, who sprinted 75 yards in an effort to prevent the impending wreck.

Chutes from these bins could then be lowered to fill the tenders of waiting locomotives below. [136] All these sheds were solidly built in brick, but included an easily removable corrugated iron section to facilitate expansion. Melbourne, 1885, p.5. Pickersgill. The works authorised by the ‘Octopus Act’ of 1884 had to be carried on in the midst of this extraordinary building spree, but by and large railway buildings looked rather modest by comparison. The new locomotive shed was to be the third to service the Spencer Street terminal in three decades. Initially assigned to the Moorabool viaduct and later the Bendigo to Echuca, North-East and Gippsland mainlines, he had worked closely with Thomas Higinbotham, Robert Watson, Francis Rennick, Robert G. Ford, George Darbyshire and others who had been there virtually from the beginning. Allison Smith and his staff moved in to the new offices under the clock tower on Friday 27 August 1887, [38] but the move produced an unexpected backlash from railway contractors. The lever frame was 35 feet long and worked by four signalmen. Speight’s New Broom And The Second Inter-Colonial Railway, 11. KS2 History learning resources for adults, children, parents and teachers organised by topic. This meant an estimated 400,000 cubic yards of silt had to be dredged from the Moonee Ponds Creek to provide fill, and also to help drain the lagoon. The old timber bridge had endured many huge floods which came down the Yarra. [115] The works at North Melbourne were two years in the building, with all the locomotives being moved in during August 1890. The precise date the railways ceased to use the canal has not been established, but this article notes it was ‘unused’.↑, The North Melbourne locomotive depot is indicated in blue on the map. Rennick was Engineer of Surveys at the time, and as experienced railway engineers were at a premium in the antipodean colonies, Bent soon realised he had been too hasty. The following year Benalla was graced with a beautiful two storey addition, even more arresting than Stawell’s and costing about a thousand pounds more. [92] Railway engineers assured the public that the bridge piles were unaffected and sound, [93] but they too were keen to replace it. The completion of the inter-colonial link to South Australia was a priority following the passing of the Railway Construction Act 1884. It was estimated that the inefficient fuel shed tied up 150 wagons waiting discharge of coal, which might otherwise have been used to relieve the wagon shortage during the wheat harvest. [129] Nevertheless, when the locomotives and crews were moved into the new shed at Ballarat East in June 1890, [130] the Ballarat Star raged that the repair facilities were minimal, complaining they were provided ‘under false pretences, as it is now clear that the understanding as to the extent and capacity of the repairing shops has been coolly set aside.’ [131] They made things difficult for Gillies, who was pressured into leaving the old machinery and some of the men in the former bluestone engine shed adjacent to Lydiard Street, despite it being only half a mile distant. [187]. Ford’s to reclaim some of the swamp for the redevelopment of Spencer Street Station and yard required the demolition of Higinbotham’s huge brick goods shed. As a sarcastic local journalist wrote, ‘…it is said the old carriages and gear smashed up in the Windsor accident is being utilised in the making of fresh carriages on the principle that it is economical to put a new front, back collar, and sleeves to a shirt, so long as the wristbands are not frayed. p72-73.↑, The Argus, Saturday 22 October 1892, p.7.↑, The Age, Thursday 9 July 1874, p.2., Thursday 28 October 1880, p.36.↑, The Argus, Tuesday 12 June 1877, p.7., Saturday 16 June 1877, p.6.↑, Victorian Railways, Annual Report, 31 December 1877, p.7.↑, The Argus, Saturday 13 July 1878, p.7., Thursday 28 October 1880, p.36↑, The Argus, Tuesday 29 October 1878, p.9.↑, The Australasian Sketcher with Pen and Pencil, Saturday 20 November 1880, p.314.↑, Geoffrey Blainey.

Latest Politics news, comment and analysis from the Guardian, the world's leading liberal voice [153], It is a measure of Ballarat’s political clout and its significance as an important railway centre that such an expenditure was countenanced, but Maryborough was not particularly important. Geoffrey Chaucer, Vernacular, Vernacular Languages, ... Our aim was not simply to start work on editing the text, but also to raise the myriad historical questions that needed to be asked about the investments that hereditary monarchs and nobles had to make in their personal reproductive success. Grand churches, town halls and post offices also proliferated during these years; a community that could sanction the building of twenty four landmark churches in eight years was unlikely to quibble at the cost of a few nice railway stations! As discussed earlier Thomas Higinbotham’s solution was to avoid the area altogether and build a new central passenger station, leaving the whole Spencer Street Station area for goods traffic. [176]. [7] Despite its apparent spindly construction, by the early 1950’s ‘The Overland’ was careering across it at 70 mph behind two R class locomotives, each as heavy as the combined weight of the four engines used in the 1886 test.

"The Pardoner's Tale" is one of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.In the order of the Tales, it comes after The Physician's Tale and before The Shipman's Tale; it is prompted by the Host's desire to hear something positive after that depressing tale.The Pardoner initiates his Prologue—briefly accounting his methods of swindling people—and then proceeds to tell a moral tale. Indoor toilets were not provided there until 1910, and men had to wash in buckets. An elevated signal box was provided and Saxby & Farmer’s equipment used to control the gates and signals. Farmers had taken up land in advance of the railway, so these lines were certain to be well used from the outset. [160] The new offices were spacious but it was thought they would still not be adequate to house all the staff. [195], The Melbourne to Sandhurst and Geelong to Ballarat mainlines and the Williamstown branch were all built as double lines, and the private lines from Flinders Street to Sandridge and St Kilda, and Princes Bridge to Windsor were quickly duplicated after opening. A tender was still out for a further thirty to the same design. It was said to be about four times too large for the 20 to 30 passengers who used it at any one time. What is the difference between renewals and additions? p.71. The very necessary but unpopular task of smartening up the engine crews fell to Allison Smith. But the West Block was still incomplete when Mirls returned from Europe in March 1888. Even The Age criticised the railways for the ‘repulsive’ design of the engine sheds built at Spencer Street in 1874, and lamented that given the expenditure, ‘appearances might have been studied.’ [147] Railway engineers were therefore under an obligation to make their buildings presentable. But only 16¾ miles had been finished before Speight arrived, and the ‘New Works’ provided for the completion of the project, which was given top priority, as the North Eastern mainline was highly profitable. Some thirty designs were submitted, one of the short-listed being from one of the Railway’s own, Francis Rennick. Considered ‘very plain’ at the time ‘as befits a workshop’ its bi-chromatic brick gabled bays were 300 feet deep with slate roofs, glass skylights, arched doorways and fanlight windows.

Educated in England, he had emigrated as a young man, joined the Tasmanian Public Service and was employed in laying the submarine telegraph cable across Bass Strait, the first in the Antipodes. The building of ten was justified as replacements for cars wrecked in the Windsor accident, financed through working expenses and not capital. The sheds at Seymour, Sandhurst, Ballarat, Warragul, and North Melbourne were all completed in the financial year 1889-90.↑, Victorian Railways, Annual Report, 30 June 1884, Appendix 21, p.39, contract let to J.

Contacts were let for the Ballarat Cattle Yards line on 7 August 1886, Lal Lal Racecourse 25 September 1886, Creswick – Daylesford 15 January 1887 and the Springs branch on 26 August 1887.↑. Successive governments were besought by the Richmond Council and its residents to do something about the Swan Street level crossing, the Council even going to the expense of engaging an engineer in 1880 to prepare plans and estimates for a minimal scheme to eliminate the crossing. [125] Nevertheless, the reclaimed land was subsequently put to good use, and although much of it silted up, the defunct canal helped lower the water table and gave its name to nearby sidings. It was a fine point, but did not go down well! Jones, M.L.A. These seven stations were a little extravagant, but they could not hold a candle to Ballarat and Maryborough, both of which already had substantial facilities. Duncan Gillies became Premier in February 1886 and during his administration of nearly five years ‘no extravagance was too absurd for it to obtain Cabinet’s tacit or open approval. Frank and Lillian were to have three sons: Desmond, Geoffrey and Maurice. Telegraph Branch Report by K.L. [162] Two years later much tougher economies had claimed the jobs of many Head Office staff, and it was even mooted that the Public Works Department be amalgamated with the Railways and all their staff housed in the building, which by then had ‘ample room’. [21] Very extensive earthworks were also needed to raise much of the site by three to four feet, a contract for £13,800 being let in December 1886. Having outgrown the two former engine sheds, the new one was built with walls designed for easy removal should expansion be necessary. [170], It was a good start but not sufficient to prevent the head on collision of an Up Essendon train which a pointsman had turned into the path of a departing Williamstown service. [28] But the Railway Department procrastinated, and whether pending advice on the latest developments from Solomon Mirls as he visited English workshops, or through wariness of the protectionists, some four months passed before Gillies revealed that tenders had been called but none had yet been accepted. [163] But like all the projects engineered during the Speight era, it was designed to meet the continued expansion of the railways, and was ‘future proofed’ so that additional floors might be added, as they were in 1912 and 1922. [181] Bent was appointed Commissioner of Railways in July 1881 and let the interlocking plans gather dust. [2] A few years earlier Henry Mais was faced with building the Adelaide Hills section of the inter-colonial railway on a tight budget. A short summary of this paper. Murray.

The depth of silt in this area made it of limited value for building development due to the difficulty and expense of making firm foundations so before the new locomotive depot could be built, the site had to be raised above flood level. Intended for dairy produce, it was less imposing but nevertheless cost nearly £20,000. Coaling would take just a few minutes, with a serviced engine quickly moving off to make way for the next. This was an important safety feature, as was the clever provision of underfloor ducting to carry away offcuts, chips and sawdust from machines in the carpentry shop. [200]. [86] Murray further distinguished himself by supervising the electric lighting of the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition in 1888, the largest lighting project of its kind in the colony to that time. Our pedigrees were so different: Edwin was a second cousin of King Harold of Wessex and England and carried the same Cerdician royal blood as I did, … The Trades Hall got wind of rumours that the orders for lathes and other machinery would be placed with English firms and agitated to have the machinery made locally, [26] although no such agitation followed Mr. Shaw’s ordering machine tools from England for the Phoenix Foundry at Ballarat. [102] The contract for the work was awarded in June 1886 for £29,336. The Moonee Ponds Creek flowed into the lagoon which the railway skirted between North Melbourne and South Kensington. ↑, The Age, Thursday 29 January 1885, p.4. The whole vast area was low lying and subject to inundation every time the Yarra was in flood. If the department went in for manufacturing, the numbers of the staff would have to be trebled.’ [66] But Speight insisted that railways would continue to design new rolling stock and build prototypes for evaluation, and perhaps build half a dozen carriages as replacements for obsolete stock.

In response to the government’s commitment to decentralisation, albeit half-hearted, Allison Smith planned large engine sheds and servicing facilities at Ballarat East and Sandhurst, each similar to that at North Melbourne, but somewhat smaller. None of the workers could have imagined that their grandchildren would be building flying machines in those very shops, or the global war that necessitated it. [118] The contractor introduced a suction dredge and piped the silt to the areas to be raised, obviating the need for the army of day labourers used to make the Coode Canal. Worried that the blasting may have weakened the foundations of the bridge, a daily traveller wrote to The Age that he always experienced a ‘quiet inward relief’ after the train had safely made it across! That the railway management were looking for ways to stretch that policy can hardly be doubted. The Yea and Alexandra Standard editorialised that ‘unless Mr. Gillies redeems the promise given to Parliament that only repairs shall be done [at Newport], he will have a rough time.’ [60], The ten joint stock and ten smoking carriages built at Newport in 1887 were clear evidence that the Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Branch wanted to hone their design and construction capacity. Download PDF. National Trust (Victoria), 1991. Suburban expansion had put great pressure on railway facilities between Richmond and South Yarra. Some care must have been taken with its appearance as it was welcomed as an asset to Geelong, but the enginemen were nevertheless unhappy that the meal room and lavatory shared the same space. [75] Rennick’s was not the winning design; his entry came fourth and was recommended for a consolation prize of £15. Colonial engineers would have been aware of this viaduct’s construction. Even Seymour, Warragul and Maryborough were given very substantial brick engine sheds, and simpler corrugated iron sheds were built elsewhere. University College London (UCL) If you have applied or secured a place to study at UCL, you can also apply for an Amos Bursary UCL Scholarship (£1,000 per annum) and join the Amos Bursary in September just before you start university. But finances only permitted a partial redevelopment of the yard after Higinbotham’s sacking, and his goods shed stood for another decade until Coode’s scheme was fulfilled and more wharves were built along the north bank of the new canal. The Engineman’s Strike, Bent and Thomas Tait. (Cambridge University Press) 2006). [196] Double lines were preferred in the early days of railways as the best means of separating trains in opposing directions, but trains following one another in the same direction were separated only by a time interval. The Illustrated Australian News, Wednesday 31 March 1886, p.58. But with over a hundred locomotives to service, a single turntable and constrained coaling facilities, the new sheds rapidly became congested and inadequate for the burgeoning growth of traffic: they had to go.

Quite a crowd gathered at midnight to watch the event and witness this early application of electric lighting. [123] Potential efficiencies of moving the railway coal wharf from the Yarra to North Melbourne were given as the reason for the work, [124] but the benefits were dubious and the canal fell out of use after less than fifteen years. The contract was let at the end of January 1874 [106] and Higinbotham sailed for America and Europe six weeks later. [191] Eight years later on 7th March 1887 a driver took his train out of Flinders Street against a signal at danger and steamed right across the path of an arriving Brighton train, which was happily fitted with Westinghouse continuous brakes and stopped ten feet short of calamity! Additions to the Seymour station at the same time were made for a similar cost, but Seymour was a mainline junction and far more important for railway operations. Dumaine, Jr., who had started working for Amoskeag in 1922. Built at a cost of approximately £140,000, it towered 130 feet above the river, which it spanned for 1,230 feet on 27 lattice trestles, the 1,400 tons of ironwork being supplied by the Derby firm of Handyside & Co. [1] Marginally shorter than the Moorabool Viaduct, built 25 years earlier, the new viaduct was based on the American lightweight metal truss and trestle design. Railways and the telegraph grew up together in the Australasian colonies, the first electric telegraph messages being made between Melbourne and Williamstown just six months before the M&HBR opened the first railway between Elizabeth Street and Sandridge. It cost £29,000, some £3,000 more than the lavish edifice built simultaneously at Maryborough. By 1961 sales had reached $77 million, and the following year Fieldcrest became a publicly owned company, with Amoskeag holding about 40 percent of the stock. The viaduct was designed by Victorian Railways engineer J.T. The Ballarat Star, Tuesday 15 May 1888, p.2.
