... The Pinkerton family is remembered in Melton in part due to the historic graves of the original settler, Margaret Pinkerton, and four of her grandchildren, which were marked by a memorial cairn in 1931. ...The Pinkerton family is remembered in Melton in part due to the historic graves of the original settler, Margaret Pinkerton, and four of her grandchildren, which were marked by a memorial cairn in 1931. ..."James Pinkerton, described by fellow settler Isaac Batey as ‘a fine old Scotish [sic] gentleman’, and his wife Margaret established ‘Chamois Ponds’ on Kororoit Creek in the Keilor district in 1840.44 After a fire in 1848, the Pinkerton family moved further west to a holding called Yaloke, on the Werribee River in the Melton district.45 Today, the Surbiton Park water treatment plant operates on part of the Yaloke run. The Pinkerton family is remembered in Melton in part due to the historic graves of the original settler, Margaret Pinkerton, and four of her grandchildren, which were marked by a memorial cairn in 1931. Changes to sewage flood zoning in the area in the 1990s necessitated that these burials be relocated. Members of the Melton & District Historical Society oversaw a project to relocate the Pinkerton graves and cairn 200 metres from their original site to their current resting place at Mount Cottrell. This relocation ceremony took place on 8 November 1992, with the participation of local school students and with Pinkerton descendants playing a central role. This occasion also marked the opening of the Pinkerton Forest Project, which saw 50 hectares of degraded woodland in Surbiton Park protected for regeneration".Photograph of Jame Pinkerton featured in the the Telegraphlocal identities, pioneer families -

Previously I was under the impression, it was a bit of a general store, but perhaps that was not the case. Jack and Marion Newman ran the store from the mid sixties till around 1970 as I remember, but Robert (Rob) their son lives in Coldstream and he may recall the exact time his parents operated the store. The photos taken appear to be about "1970" vintage and were taken perhaps when they left. In regard to the other photo that I was trying to locate and find out about the function. The photo itself is entitled "Farewell to Mr and Mrs Bridger" and as you can see there were many people in attendance. In regard to the date of the photo I suspected it was taken circa 1916-1918 as my great great grandfather John Thomas Allen Snr (1841-1918) is in the photo and my paternal grandmother Rose Allen (1906-1989) is also in the photo and appears to be about 8-10 years old. In addition Rose's older sisters Ruby V.E. Allen (1904-1987) and Pearl C. Allen (1900-1990) and they appear to be in mid to late teens. So this makes me reasonable confident about the timing of the photograph. The photograph also includes Mars Buckley (Buckley and Nunn) and ?Marie Pinkerton (Haberdashery store in Croydon) who were friends of the Allen Family. -
