FROM THE FILES AT THE CLARENCE  HISTORY SOCIETY AND UNE REGIONAL ARCHIVES WE HAVE SOME MUSTER AND CENSUS DETAILS. Mr William Oates in Armidale brought us in from the cold of Armidale in Winter and introduced us to the Archives held there as well as explaining what he could and accessing files for us. William told us that Armidale and Grafton had a strange relationship. Finding a way from the New England down to the Clarence created an interesting dynamic then as it does today.  William took us upstairs to the Stack. It included a 15th century document found in a shearing shed on the New England. He wished us well on the Clarence and we had hoped to find ledgers or station books for Gordon Brook or Bushy Park which didn’t happen - YET. We were however able to access , in both towns , various papers , books and documents. Includijng the Musters and Census. McNally turned out to have even more spelling variants than we had so far considered.

KENDALL’S MILL CAMPBELLTOWN

KENDALL’S MILL CAMPBELLTOWN HERITAGE WALK

Marjorie Kendall suggests that Judith McNally died in Campbelltown. The only connection we have found so far with Campbelltown is with Lawrence Kendall’s Mill. Patrick was a carter at Barker’s Mill in Sussex Street and Lawrence was apprenticed there as a clerk. Lawrence was brother to Basil Kendall. So far we have not found evidence of Judith’s Death or Burial. It does seem likely possible that Patrick was working at the Mill.

Here are some articles relating to Kendall’s Mill Campbelltown.

• “Fisher’s Ghost Restaurant” or “Kendall’s Mill
  House”
  No. 316 Queen Street, Pt. Por. 33 Parish
  of St Peter DP 77280, Campbelltown.

• Historic Precinct
  Opposite Big Rooster, at 320 Queen St, is the Campbelltown Art and Craft Society. This building was licensed as the Farrier’s Arms Inn in 1843 and was owned by blacksmith Edward Fitzgerald. Some sources claim the building was originally a grog shop dating back to 1826. It is certain that it was in existence by 1840.

  Next door is Kendall’s Millhouse, now Fisher’s Ghost Restaurant. It was erected adjacent Campbelltown’s first steam-driven flour mill in 1844. Both were built by the uncle of noted 19th-century poet Henry Kendall. The mill closed in the 1880s.

  Virtually opposite is the Campbelltown Community Centre, originally a produce store and bakery dating back to 1853.

  Walk up Queen St to the mall. At number 315 is the old town hall, located on the site of George Worrall’s farm. The building was constructed around the old Temperance Hall (built either in 1862 or 1882 depending on which source one accepts) which the newly-formed municipal council bought, adding the facade and front offices in 1892, the year they also took over the newly-built fire station next door, now incorporated into the structure. These buildings are now used by the Campbelltown Theatre Group.

    The building material of the cinema is also of interest. By one unconfirmed account, Dr Mawson had a pile of surplus sandstock bricks left over from the demolition of the former Kendall’s mill (circa 1844). Having this surplus stock, he decided to use them up in a cinema building. Why he chose a cinema is not presently recorded .

MORE CLARENCE SCATTERINGS

 

SCHAEFFER HOUSE GRAFTON.    

Back as we are from the Clarence, Izzy is out on the front porch with Mac laptop open and papers covering the round table. It rained heavily for the 2 days we were in Grafton and we were accommodated in a small caravan. That all added nicely to the explorative atmosphere. 

Some of the areas on which we were seeking elucidation were:

• Location of Basil Kendall’s grave
• Location of GordonBrook, Bushy Park and Rose Valley - the three properties on which the Kendalls lived whilst on Clarence.
• The route taken by the Kendalls to reach the Big River Settlement
• Details of the Kendalls’ lives in this period
• Exact dates
• The events following the death of Basil.

HUT ON RUSHFORTH ROAD NEAR POLEY  BRIDGE ON THE ORARA RIVER

Some of the details which came to light were:

• Rose Valley was a sheep run of James Aitken - owner of Bushy Park. It was on RUSHFORTH ROAD - the very road which we were directed to by ‘chance’ in the Clarence Historical Society rooms.
• The first Presyterian Minister on the Clarence was John Gibson who arrived in 1851 - taking up residence in what was Durno’s Hotel.

SEEKING THE LONELY GRAVE DEEP IN THE FOREST

Now bear with us as we try to weave them into a Clarentian tapestry and determine some more of the missing threads.

Still known to be eluding us are:

• The means by which Melinda and Family arrived in and departed from the Clarence.
• Basil’s precise status on the 3 properties
• Where did Basil serve his 2 year sentence ?
