ReplyDeleteSome people referred to the "Templestowe brick works" as "Templestowe pipe works". Their full name was "The Glen Iris Brick Tile and Terra Cotta Co Pty Ltd". It manufactured earthenware terracotta pipes. When they went out of business, Fred Garrett arranged the subdivision of the land (a legal action requiring him to go to Sydney).
The bell used to signal shift and emergencies was given to Fred and passed to his daughter, Deborah, and then to Rin who is providing DTHS with some photos.
