Its purpose was to raise funds in aid of two local charities; The Bendigo Hospital, and The Bendigo Benevolent Asylum. The fair features events throughout the City with celebrations culminating in a parade on Easter Sunday. The parade features a variety of commercial and community groups including a large processional dragon which has been an integral part of the annual parade since 1892. The three principal golden dragons featured over the past 130 years are Loong (1892–1970), Sun Loong (1970–2019) and Dai Gum Loong (2019–present) which are housed at the Golden Dragon Museum in Bendigo. The Bendigo Easter Fair Society is custodian of the Bendigo Easter Fair and continues to support the City of Greater Bendigo’s largest festival. Each year the City produces a poster to advertise the upcoming fair and this one from 1943 reflects the war time sentiment which existed by featuring service men and women as well as the Chinese dragon.

The top of the table is propped up to make it a well-lit surface over which bolts of fabric were unrolled to check for faults. ...Any faults in the final product can be repaired by mending. Prior to more advanced machinery, fabric was draped over a mending table and carefully inspected for faults. Quick eyes and nimble fingers were needed. Repairing faults was a highly skilled manual operation. Any knot or thickness had to be removed without affecting the quality of the fabric and mending had to be invisible. In the 1930s to make the day pass faster, popular records were played to the factory workers in the mending room. The top of the table is propped up to make it a well-lit surface over which bolts of fabric were unrolled to check for faults. Menders repaired them with invisible hand stitching. Each weaver stitched a coloured thread in the selvage to show the start of their shift, therefore if mistakes were found the company could easily find who was responsible. This table was used by Gail Morris in the 1960s. Large wooden table with tilted top. mending table, wool processing, fabric, textile industry -

In its heyday it claimed to be the biggest pottery in the world. The first Maling pottery was established at North Hylton, near Sunderland, in 1762 by William Maling. William’s descendants who moved to the Newcastle area and built a succession of larger works. The last of these – the Ford B pottery – was begun in 1878 and occupied a 14 acre site... Maling’s stock in trade was everyday white ware – marmalade jars for Keillers and Coopers, crockery for railways, shipping lines and hotels, and a huge variety of domestic kitchenware. With a significant export trade in the 1920s they had showrooms in Australia, New Zealand and Denmark. Mary Ford, daughter of an Edinburgh glass manufacturer, married Christopher Maling. Christopher Thompson Maling’s initials form one of the company’s early factory marks – the letters CTM inscribed vertically inside a triangle. The Maling name (which had first appeared with the castle mark in the 1920s) and extended to the trade name “Cetem Ware” when the company adopted its well known trademark of a castle in the early years of this century. The “Cetem” name continued to be used into the 1930s. the Maling name continued to be used as a trademark until the factory finally closed in 1963 The outbreak of World War 11 in 1939 marked the beginning of a long decline.

... Blind cricket was invented in Melbourne in 1922 when two blind factory workers started playing a game using a tin can containing rocks. ...Blind cricket was invented in Melbourne in 1922 when two blind factory workers started playing a game using a tin can containing rocks. ...This cricket ball is made of cane wicker and was used in cricket games with visually impaired players by people who lived or were educated at the Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind from the 1920's through till 1972. It is a circular shape made of plaited strips of woven natural cane and is lighter than a conventional cricket ball. The hollow center of the ball contains pieces of twisted metal pieces which rattle as the ball is moved to aid players in tracking the ball's movement. The stumps also had bells attached so fielders knew when the batsman was out. Blind cricket was invented in Melbourne in 1922 when two blind factory workers started playing a game using a tin can containing rocks. The game soon gained popularity and the Victorian Blind Cricketers' Association was formed. Mr William Paterson, a volunteer worker and advocate for blind people for over 60 years, was instrumental in acquiring and developing the sports ground and clubhouse in Glenferrie Road Kooyong, Victoria on behalf of the Association for the Advancement of the Blind (now called Vision Australia). In 1928 play began on the world's first sports ground for blind cricketers, in the first official blind cricket match. Blind cricket is now played internationally. This particular cricket ball was awarded to William Paterson Esq in 1928 in recognition of his support in establishing the world's first blind cricket ground in Kooyong. On the front of this ball is attached a small metal crest with an inscription: 'Presented to W.H. Paterson, Esq as a token of esteem for his interest in Blind cricket being the first ball bowled on the cricket ground for Blind Kooyong 7. 4.28'.1 wicker cricket ball with metal shield attached and metal bells in the hollow centre'Presented to W.H.

It was constructed in 1909 as the Empire Works to a design by prolific Melbourne architect William Pitt. It was purchased soon after by British safety match manufacturer Bryant and May who significantly expanded the building adding an additional level and the landmark clock tower. Bryant and May were unique in that they operated as a model factory providing workers with conditions and amenities which even today seem generous. These included a dining hall and sports facilities such as a tennis court and bowling green which were constructed in the 1920s. Bryant and May ceased Australian match manufacture in the early 1980s as a result of import competition. Their iconic Redheads matches are now imported from Sweden. The complex has since been converted for use as offices and showrooms but is extremely well preserved. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

Bendigo Historical Society Inc.Document - Michele Matthews Collection: Lecture Notes - Two talks on life in the 1930s, 2007
... Female employment in local industries declined during the Depression, with total female factory workers dropping from 614 in 1929 to 423 in 1931.6. ...Female employment in local industries declined during the Depression, with total female factory workers dropping from 614 in 1929 to 423 in 1931.6. ...Dr Michele Matthews has been a local and social historian for nearly three decades since she first used correspondence held by the then Bendigo City Council for her Honours thesis. She is an ardent advocate for the use of local history records to tell Victorian and Australian history from a grassroots perspective. Michele’s MA thesis, ‘A forgotten “Father” of Federation: Sir John Quick 1852‑1911’ (2003), and her PhD thesis, ‘Survivors, schemes, Samaritans and shareholders: the impact of the Great Depression on Bendigo and District 1925‑1935’ (2007), both drew heavily on Bendigo and district records. A copy of her Thesis is held in the Bendigo Historical Society Collection. Michele worked as an historian, undertaking numerous contracts for the former City of Bendigo Council, including researching and writing the Catalogue of Bendigo City Council’s Correspondence 1856‑1899. Since working at the Bendigo Regional Archives Centre (BRAC), she has created an accompanying subject and person index for this catalogue. Michele also worked as the historian for Bendigo Bank, cataloguing their extensive record collection. She has also written articles, book reviews and teachers’ notes for documentaries. A personal highlight was writing the entry for Sir John Quick in the Australian dictionary of biography, vol. 11. Michele was an Archives Officer at BRAC since its commencement in 2008. Many of the records she looked after in her day‑to‑day work are the same ones she first used while researching for her Honours thesis back in 1983. She has spoken at many public functions about the records housed at BRAC, and is particularly proud of the digitised online project, Petitions of the people.This item includes the following five documents: 8672.19a Talk entitled: Not "Exceptional Circumstances"; Women in Bendigo and District 1925-1935 Four typed sheets This document analyzes the social and economic hardships faced by widowed, deserted, and single women in Bendigo and its district from 1925 to 1935, particularly during the Great Depression. The study centers on women without male breadwinners—widows, deserted wives, and single women—who were not considered "exceptional circumstances" by contemporary legal standards, despite their significant numbers. Many widows resulted from miners' phthisis (tuberculosis), leaving families destitute. Economic support was limited; widows often relied on outdoor relief (ODR) from the Bendigo Benevolent Asylum, typically in the form of food handouts. Employment options were mostly low-paid domestic service jobs (cleaning, laundry, sewing, charwork). Victorian widows did not receive state pensions until 1937, much later than in New South Wales. Desertion often occurred during or shortly after pregnancy, leaving women with young children and little support. Legal recourse for maintenance was costly and rarely effective. Like widows, deserted women depended on ODR and had limited employment opportunities. Financial assistance through "boarding out" (child welfare payments) was available but difficult to access due to strict guidelines and legal hurdles. Single women had more varied job opportunities, especially in factories (knitting, clothing, underclothes) and domestic service, but large-scale employers were few. The Great Depression sharply reduced available jobs for women. Single, unemployed women were ineligible for government sustenance relief, making them particularly vulnerable without family support. In 1933, a significant proportion of women worked in domestic service (e.g., 23.7% in Bendigo, 29.4% in Huntly). From 1925-1929, women made up the majority of new ODR applicants (e.g., 91.7% in 1926). The number of children in ODR families increased dramatically during this period, reflecting growing hardship. Female employment in local industries declined during the Depression, with total female factory workers dropping from 614 in 1929 to 423 in 1931.6. Widows, deserted wives, and single women in Bendigo faced persistent economic insecurity and limited social support before and during the Great Depression. The records of the Bendigo Benevolent Asylum provide detailed evidence of their struggles and the inadequacy of available assistance. These findings highlight the systemic challenges faced by women outside the male breadwinner model in early 20th-century regional Australia. 8672.19b Cue Cards for a talk on Entertainment for Children 1920s and 1930s, 18 hand held cards handwritten prompts (glossy paper). The talk was split into two parts "Local Public Entertainment" and "Family and Home Entertainment" 8672.19c Draft copy of Chapter four fo Michele's Thesis - Chapter entitled: Not "Exceptional Circumstances"; Women in Bendigo and District, 14 Typewritten A4 pages with hand-written notes and deletions, Pages 92 to 103 Contact BHS for Details This document analyzes the social and economic impacts of widowhood, illness, and mining-related accidents on families in Bendigo and its district during the early 20th century, especially from 1925. The document concludes that unsupported women—widows, deserted wives, and single women—were marginalized and forced to rely on charity, highlighting the inadequacy of social policy in Australia during this period. 8672.19d Draft copy of Chapter four fo Michele's Thesis - Chapter entitled: Not "Exceptional Circumstances"; Women in Bendigo and District, 12 Typewritten A4 pages with hand-written notes and deletions, Pages 92 of 105 Contact BHS for Details 8672.19e Draft copy of Chapter four of Michele's Thesis - Chapter entitled: Not "Exceptional Circumstances"; Women in Bendigo and District, 11 Typewritten A4 pages with hand-written notes and deletions, Pages 92 to 103 Various pages Contact BHS for Detailsbendigo, brac, michele matthews collection -

... Images of the factory and the workers from Circa 1920s can be seen in the 3rd and 4th photos. ...Images of the factory and the workers from Circa 1920s can be seen in the 3rd and 4th photos. ...Fireworks were manufactured in Sunshine Victoria from the early 1890's by the PHOENIX FIREWORKS CO. The factory was located a short distance to the north of Ballarat Rd, on the corner of Phoenix St and McIntyre Rd, North Sunshine. For safety reasons the factory consisted of small separated huts to minimise the damage in case one blew up. Images of the factory and the workers from Circa 1920s can be seen in the 3rd and 4th photos. Fireworks were readily sold by shops to the general public, including children, for celebrating Empire Day on May 24 and Guy Fawkes Day on November 5. Because of injuries, damages, and fires, sales to the general public of exploding fireworks such as bangers and crackers, were banned in Victoria in 1974. By 1982 sales of other fireworks, except for items such as sparklers, were also banned. Despite the bans some of the public still manages to obtain fireworks from other sources to this day, as evidenced by the many discharges on each New Year eve. The factory no longer exists and ironically part of the site is now occupied by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and several small businesses, including a smash repair business and a tyre retailer. There were at least two different coloured posters depicting the same images, a yellow poster and a grey poster. It is unknown whether these were in use at the same time or whether one type preceded the other. Repaired images of the two posters placed side by side can be seen in the 2nd photo. The repair work was done by a volunteer at our Society with the aid of Microsoft Paint.The poster shows the attitude that previously existed, where children and the general public could readily purchase and legally discharge fireworks. For safety reasons this attitude is now frowned upon by the authorities.PHOENIX FIREWORKS SOLD HEREfireworks, crackers, sky rockets, sales poster, phoenix, guy fawkes, empire day
