National Trust Moves to Save ATP's functioning Blacksmith's Shop
The Letter
from the National Trust in part says:
“The Trust has also
just heard that the Redfern Waterloo Authority is now evicting the blacksmith
from the Eveleigh Workshops who has operated and maintained the historic
machinery in the Blacksmiths' Shop for the past seventeen years. The Trust had
not nominated the Blacksmiths Shop in Bays 1 and 2 of the Australian Technology
Park complex because we
believed that they were safe from redevelopment. The ATP's own promotional
material states that the Blacksmith's Workshop in Bay 2 houses the largest
collection of steam-powered machinery in the southern hemisphere, with some
equipment still in working order.”
“We will now be
nominating the Blacksmiths Shop (Bays 1 & 2) in the ATP complex for
National Listing and we will be seeking urgent action by the Minister for the
Environment, Heritage and the Arts to protect this place and to retain the
operation of the blacksmith. The Trust will also be contacting the NSW Heritage
Branch on this issue.”
