1. John CHIBNALL demolishes the Old Middleton Station 1927

28 January 1927 'purchase and remove the old station Buildings for 18 pound.'

2. Arcadian Brick Company, Waterport.

'Mr CHIBNALL 1924, 400 Hard Bricks'.

Arcadian Brick Company, Ltd receipt April 16, 1924. Mr CHIBNALL paid one pound & 17 shillings in exchange for 400 'Hard Bricks'.

In Heritage Survey of Brickyard Rd, Port Elliot, 1978-80 it states under Item Reference No 36 & 37:

'This small cottage built of local bricks from the adjacent brickyard [now demolished] is of characteristic early design. It is now roofed in galvanised iron and the walls are painted white. Original small paned sash windows have survived.

The original brickyard was opened by Messrs ARCHER & CHANTRILL in the early 1850s or possibly earlier. By 1854 they had sold the years to Edward & Gerard WOOD who supplied a dense, bright coloured brick for St. Jude's Church, Port Elliot and many other buildings in the district. The brickworks, later known as Messrs. WOOD & ROWLAND, amalgamated with the GREEN Bros, in about 1920 to form the Arcadian Brick Company Ltd. which continued "essentially manual" production of bricks here until the 1950's.

The house is the last surviving relic of what has been described as one of the earliest brick works established in the State. It is also a good example of vernacular building........ AND

This recently closed down brickworks remains largely intact & includes arched kilns, two square chimney stacks, galvanised iron roofed drying sheds & a large pug hole.

The works were started in about 1900 by Green Bros., who amalgamated with WOOD & ROWLAND to form the Arcadian Brick Company Ltd, in about 1920. The works were sited on extensive deposits of alluvial clay which was mined to a depth of 18 feet. [Clay deposits were over 60 feet deep]. The principal plant of the Company was located at this site. In 1926 it was described as including machinery for the production of wire-cut and sandstock [sic] bricks and three arched kilns.

The Company served the district from Port Victor eastward and northward until it met with the competition of the more northerly works. Samco Brickworks acquired the brick making plant in the 1950's.

The brickworks is the most substantial surviving industrial relic of this highly important early industry in Waterport'.
