| Last updated on - May 6, 2004 What is significant? 'Burnbank', comprising the c.1890 house (with potential c.1860 portions) and mature garden setting including the Cypress hedge, at 64-72 Beaumont Road, Berwick. How is it significant? 'Burnbank' is of local historic, aesthetic and scientific (archaeological) significance to the City of Casey. Why is it significant? Historically, Burnbank is significant as one of a number of important district farming properties. It was run at the turn of the century and later as a joint dairying venture by its owner, Edwin Flack, and Sir Sidney Sewell of Roads End, and from c1922 by William Gamble, former principal of Dookie Agricultural College and Flack's partner. In the 1920s, the Burnbank herd was increased and nearby farming properties Ardblair (part of which is now known as Beaumont Farm), and Mansfield were leased by the partnership. Burnbank also has significance for its early associations with Berwick district pioneer farmer, Robert Buchanan, who bred Ayrshire cattle there. The earliest portion of the buildings may date from this time. (AHC criteria A4, D2 and H1) Aesthetically, the design significance of Burnbank has been reduced due to recent alterations which have removed 1920s and 1940s sections in order to reconstruct the Victorian house. The garden itself is significant as an example of a formal landscape containing an interesting combination of exotic and native mature specimens. (AHC criterion E1) Scientifically, 'Burnbank' is of archaeological significance for the research potential relating to the location and identification of the 1850s house and old cheese cellar. (AHC criterion C2) |
