A List of Employees at the ACT Brickyard 27 February 1939

The Brickyards were constructed in 1913 and by mid-year were producing bricks.  The men who came to build the yards were housed in the Railway Camp.  The men who came to produce the bricks lived in segregated camps – married and single – in the area of present-day Banks Street.  The majority of single men lived under canvas – two men to each tent – and the married men in humpies constructed from hessian, tin and some timber.
