The Successful Fight to Save the Miller’s Cottage, Richmond in 1983

by Peter MacFie, 26 March 2018

The Miller’s Cottage at Richmond was attached to the now-lost Tower Windmill, both of which are visible in early paintings, drawings and photographs.

The story of the Miller’s Cottage and the Tower Windmill

I had just been appointed as a member on the Richmond Town Planning Committee in 1982. Its role was to comment on proposals before going to the former Richmon Municipal Council for final decisions. Other members were Libby Jones – National Trust member and local historian, and architect Jim Moon.

At my first meeting the committee was asked to approve the demolition of the Miller’s Cottage – which had been lived in up to four years earlier. I was appalled. The above photo resulted from contact with the Mercury newspaper, and was my first foray into heritage protection and politics. The photo below had the desired result – with the Richmond town clerk ringing me at Dulcot in a panic.

A well-attended meeting followed in the Richmond Town Hall in 1983, plus several letters of support including one from Peter Mercer, then historian with the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and a steering committee was established.

Cutting from The Mercury, 3 March 1982. The above photo resulted from contact with The Mercury newspaper, and was my first foray into heritage protection and politics.

Excerpt

The lights go down again, the audience quietens.
Waiting near me in the wings is a shy, Mexican-looking young bloke with a bad case of acne verging on boils on his neck. Chan Romero clutches his new electric guitar. The lights go down, the audience hushes. The curtains open again. Chan walks past me quickly onto centre stage. He’s only got one hit- but what a beauty- Hippy Hippy Shake– drives along, the girls are screaming a bit, the Joyboys -the backing band – rocking along.
For goodness sake, I got the…’
His song became No 1 in Tasmania, the only place in the world. (I’ve still got the 45.)
Chan Romero was followed by Freddie Cannon,
One day I took a walk in the park, down at a place called Palisade Park, (whatever that is?) to have some fun (now we understand that!)
Then a handsome, dark, older bloke with a deep voice. Jack Scott was a Canadian born country singer really, with weepy, interesting ballads.
My True Love and What in the World’s Come Over You – bah- wa-ooh.
I loved the backing singers on the American recordings. (Scott also sang Burning Bridges, serious love songs, adult love songs, about things we only became aware of later in life.)
Then Johnny Preston, best known for his hit, Running Bear, later the bane of every pub band, but in 1960, a brand new hit.
On the banks of the river, sat Running Bear, young Injun brave. On the other side of the river, sat his lovely Indian maid, Little White Dove… (Oogah, Oogah)
The audience sings along to the chorus
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove, such a lovely sight to see….
Ah, if only race relations were as easy as the way we absorbed those simple lyrics.
After Johnny Preston comes off, there’s a pause. The curtain’s drawn again for the star act. Jerry Lee Lewis’ pushing the piano into the middle of the stage, his backing band consisting only of a drummer and electric guitarist. He brushes his crinkly, blonde hair off his face, takes off his coat, throws it to the manager, adjusts the collar and shirt sleeves of his striped shirt, a final tune of the guitar, Jerry Lee ripples a few trial runs on the keyboard. He sits at a bentwood chair, stands over the piano.
Kevin Jacobsen is looking over my shoulder.
‘Watch the way he hits the chair when he gets going.’
Jerry Lee positions the chair behind his legs.

Popular Music Culture

Project

“Popular Music Culture in Southern Tasmania 1950-85”. The State Library of Tasmania Special Collection Project 2007, Peter Macfie, 2008 as part of a SLT fellowship.  It was initiated by Tony Marshall and application endorsed by Dr Stefan Petrov and Malcolm Brooks. The images are of some of the memorabilia donated or loaned as part of this popular culture collection of rock and folk music. It is now housed in the State Archives.

Abstract

The formal collection of popular music cultural material in Tasmania has barely begun. While Mainland collections and musicologists –including John Meredith – have recorded local music, little has been done until recently to add memorabilia to the Tasmanian State’s archives. At present there is no institution in southern Tasmania that systematically collects Rock or Folk music memorabilia, nor has the facilities to allow enthusiasts or researchers to access music in sound booths. Images of the material collected during the 3 month project in late 2007 gives an indication of Tasmania’s popular music culture from the 1950s to the 1980s, the need for more active field workers in this area, and raises the question about public access to this and similar material.

Excerpt

The formal collection of popular music cultural material in Tasmania – by Tasmanian institutions – has barely begun. While Mainland collections and musicologists including John Meredith – have recorded local Tasmania music, little has been done until recently to add to the archives.

With the recent deaths of local musicians Ian Young, Ray Woodruff and Mark Pickering- and this week (November 2010) that of his brother, Roger Pickering – the need to collect memorabilia has become urgent. At present there is no institution that systematically collects music or memorabilia, nor has the facilities to allow enthusiasts or researchers to access music in sound booths etc.

This vacuum was the motive in putting forward the idea of such a project to the State Library of Tasmania’s then Tasmaniana Library thru Tony Marshall. This was unusual, as most library grants are for the study of existing holdings. The 3 months part time project showed the need for field-work collectors, as in that time I barely touched the surface, but raised the interest and hopes of many current and former musicians – and fans. In concentrated on Rock and Folk music, but, due to time constraints, I didn’t venture into country or original Tasmanian folk music, but believe that field should also be looked at, although local enthusiasts are doing so privately.

The collection came in varied formats- as you will see, which require differing conservation and storage approaches, and also raises questions of accessibility, copyright and other issues you are all familiar with. Documenting and itemising – and returning the items- has been a painstaking process – which is worth a paper in itself!

Tasmania – even Van Diemen’s Land – had a strong musical culture- both visible and less tangible, in the form of convict and other working class musicians. In the 20thC and especially post World War II, there’s has been a vibrant musical culture. While formal music based on the European classical tradition has always been visible and documented, much less so is the popular music of the day. Popular music post-1950 grew despite bemusement, and in some cases, straight out parental denial. In Tasmania, and probably throughout the western world, this was driven by the younger generation, attracted by the less formal approach to popular music typified by black American jazz, and even the European cabaret and music hall traditions. In Tasmania, regional differences existed via radio, with some artists being popular in Launceston and not in Hobart and vice-versa. However, the first visible change here was the arrival of rock ’n’ roll on radio stations –

Jerry Lee.  The energy in the music was an antidote to a stifling post war education system and parental pressure, and in stark contrast to the popular music beginning to be heard on local radio. Initially only 15 minutes a day on 7HT- then back to Doris Day and Vic Damone. Even more energising were touring acts from the USA which made such a big impact, including Jerry Lee Lewis, whose autograph I collected backstage at the Hobart City Hall in 1959 – starting a love of live, energised music.

Excerpt

The village of Richmond was similar yet so very different to today’s tourist town. Horses were the main method of transport, pulling waggons, carts or more fashionable gigs. Poorer people walked everywhere or caught a coach to Hobart Town. There were eight inns for travellers. Until 1850, convict road gangs, some with men wearing leg irons, worked in the streets and on roads approaching the village. Flocks of sheep were driven through the village to the sale-yards. Assigned servants assembled on the Muster Ground, now the Municipal Park, to have their names checked, observed carefully by constables and the Police Magistrate, based in the Watch House. Here offending assigned servants, convicts under sentence and occasional free settler were charged before magistrates, and held in the holding cells.

At the Court House nearby, charges were heard by magistrates and ‘justice’ handed out, by today’s standards, harsh and without feeling.

From being a pioneering district, after 1850 the town gradually became a town left behind by the spread of settlement to the north and the new colonies of Victoria and New Zealand. First the Victorian gold rush attracted settlers away, then in 1874 the town was by-passed by the Mainline Railway to the north and the Sorell Causeway to the south. Richmond became a quaint village, preserved by default. From the start of the first Jury Act in 1855 to the introduction of Municipal Government in 1864, the Richmond district was under the jurisdiction of affluent locals, rather than government appointed magistrates. Sentences were just as harsh, although flogging became a thing of the past. Richmond became the centre of local government for the Coal River Valley, holding council and court hearings, for cases stretching from Dulcot through Richmond to Campania and Colebrook.

Meanwhile, a new generation of settlers had moved into the village – Jacobs, Kellys, Andersons, Nichols, Ross and other families who stayed. Immigrants, including some German families plus military pensioners used the former barracks for temporary accommodation.

While the streets were home during the 1870s to elderly emancipist – former convicts – who lived in cheap rent or in huts in the bush at hamlets like Dulcot, most families tried to over-look their own convict origins.

The Catholic -Protestant divide continued, with the Bridge Inn being the Catholic pub and the Lennox Arms/Commercial the Protestant/visitors hotel. A deferential relationships between farm-hands and farm owners continued; but behind closed doors, another world existed.

The Wesleyans of Port Arthur

Citation

MacFie, Peter, 2022, The Wesleyans of Port Arthur, https://petermacfiehistorian.net.au/publications/wesleyans/

Abstract

This history of the Wesleyan ministers and their relationship with convicts, military and civilian personnel covers the eleven years during which they held the official role of Chaplain at Port Arthur. There they were primarily responsible for moral instruction through services, prayers, religious instruction and consolation, and oversaw schooling for the free children, the boys of Point Puer and the adult convicts. In addition, they buried the dead and baptised the babies. The Wesleyan chaplains were involved in the design of the grand sandstone church which was consecrated and in regular use from July 1837. Most of the Chaplains took their wives and children with them to Port Arthur, living in a cramped and damp cottage. Their position was taken over by the Anglicans when a new brick parsonage was built at the start of 1844.
