The four allotments along the eastern side of Mitchell Street from Pall Mall to Hargreaves Street, were all first transferred from the Crown on the 21st and 22nd. of April 1854 ( Parish Plan, Section 1C, allotment 15 - now known as 19 - 21 Mitchell Street, Bendigo. The surrounding properties along Mitchell Street were transferred from the Crown to J. Pike (to corner with Pall Mall) and Henry Backhaus ( corner of Mitchell Street and Hargreaves Street, also on the 21st and 22nd. April 1854). At this time, the section of Mitchell Street and Pall Mall, which later came to be known as 'Pikes Corner' was considered a 'semi-swamp, for the ground had all been turned up by the diggers, being the foot of Pennyweight Gully, just where it joined the Bendigo Creek and there was more water than land to be seen of it.....I think the three allotments cost him less than 100 pounds each' (Bendigo Advertiser, 9th November, 1889, page 6, letter 'Pikes Corner'). Nine page photocopy of typed document prepared by the City of Greater Bendigo on the history of the allotments 19 - 21 Mitchell Street, Bendigo. Report contains information on the early history of that section of Mitchell Street, dating from 1854 to 1902; photocopied images of Bendigo Wire Works; Webster Brothers and John Pykes (Pikes) allotments.

Repco Brabham Engines Pty Ltd, initially based at 81 Burnley Street, Richmond moved their entire engine program to 87 Mitchell Street, Maidstone in December 1964. This site became the Repco Brabham Engine Works, responsible for, design, machining, assembly, testing and race spec development. The Maidstone shop was small but closer to a precision engineering laboratory than a factory, but produced world beating engines. The Maidstone works produced the entire family of Repco–Brabham V8 engines, including the RB620 (1966), RB740 / RB730 Series (1967) and later 4.2 – 5.0 litre sportscar engines. The RB620 was the engine that powered Jack Bradham to his F1 1966 Driver’s and Constructors’ World Championship and the RB740 that powered Denny Hulme to his F1 1967 Constructors’ World Championship.This small but world‑class engineering shop built the Repco–Brabham V8 engines that won the 1966 and 1967 Formula One World Championships, the only F1 engines ever built in Australia to win a world title. The engineering workshop became one of the most important motorsport engineering locations in Australian's history.repco brabham engine works, mitchell street, maidstone, jack brabham
