The Co-Founders of the company were Edmund “Ted” Parsons (1855–1918) & Richard Lewis (d1909). Richard Lewis died of anthrax, a known occupational hazard in hair‑processing industries. The factory was deliberately placed on the banks of Kororoit Creek because large volumes of water were required for the horse‑hair curling process. Horsehair was washed, sorted, curled, dried, and baled, a labor-intensive process requiring skilled “drafters,” curlers, and spinners. The factory processed animal hair for use in brushes and upholstery. The building was subsequently demolished in 1987.The Parsons & Lewis Horse Hair Curling Factory was one of the most important early industrial sites in Sunshine’s heritage landscape. The Parsons family became one of the most respected families in Sunshine, both socially and civically. Their reputation was built over three generations, combining industrial contribution, community service, and local leadership.The Drawers And Churlers Parsons and Lewis 1887 - 1988 by Peter Parsonsparsons & lewis, parsons, graham street, anderson road, sunshine -

The main characteristics of the Clydesdale are ability to acclimatise in all parts of the world and perform all types of draught work. Clydesdale breeders lay emphasis upon bone, quality, weight, and action. The feet must be proportionate to the size of the horse, the hoof-head should have a full crown, with heels wide and quarters strong. 8650.2 PARSONS' FARM ANIMAL SERIES No. 3, SUFFOLK, The Suffolk, often known as the Suffolk Punch, originated in the County of Suffolk, England and is noted for its hardiness.
