It operated as a specialised chemical works linked to explosives, aircraft fabric coatings, and waterproof materials. Nitrocellulose (guncotton reacted with nitric acid) was one of the earliest multi‑use synthetic materials. It was used for Explosives (historical origin of the Deer Park site), Aircraft fabric dope (WWI–WWII aviation coatings), Waterproof cloth and coated textiles and Leathercloth (ICI’s trade name for nitrocellulose‑coated fabric used in cars, furniture, bags, and industrial goods). The Station Road plant specialised in the nitrocellulose coating and finishing processes, not explosives manufacture.The history of the Nitrocellulose Plant is tightly connected to the evolution of the Deer Park explosives precinct and the wider ICI industrial township.I.C.I.

Charles E “Ernie” Barrie started constructing a Chaff mill on the corner of Brooklyn and Station road in 1900. It soon became a thriving business and was ideally located close to the railway line. Ernie and his father William and other Barrie brothers had been operated travelling chaff cutters in the district of Melton and Werribee. Within a short time the mill expanded into two big sheds in partnership with his brother James E known as “Ted”. The eldest brother William was in the Manager living in Melton South. In 1906 Ernie applied for a railway crossing on Brooklyn Road to have direct access for railway trucks to be shunted to the mill to be loaded. The Mill was also had the first phone to be connected, No 1, and No’s 2, 3 were the Golden Fleece and Macs Hotels. In 1906 Ernie married Jessie Lang daughter of the Head Teacher at Melton State School No 430 (1896 –1917). The Barrie house on the north side of the mill was completed in August 1906. It survived for almost 60 years until demolition. Chaff mills were very susceptible to fires and often burnt down and would be rebuilt again ready for the peak of the harvesting season. The final demise of the Mill occurred in a spectacular blaze on the night of Friday 2nd December 1977, just before the earth tremor as reported in the local paper. Brian Dobson the local photographer lived close by and captured the night blaze. A video was also taken of the action by the fire brigade. My parents Bon and Edna Barrie were living at 19 First Avenue, and took colour slides of the smouldering ruins in the half -light. Ironically Bon had spent the first year of his life (born in April 1909 and sister Mary born October 1907) at the house beside the mill. Trethowan’s Chaff mill in Brooklyn road was also destroyed by fire, which stated in the evening on Tuesday April 28th 1987. It was established in 1910 by Dixon Brothers, followed by, Ebbot & Kebby, Robinson, Trethowan and Butler and was with the Trethowan family when it burnt down. Melton South was small a community referred to as Melton Railway Station. Member of the community raised the idea to have a public hall. In 1909 Cr Barrie, Mr Nesbitt and Delany formed a committee to build a community hall. Cr Barrie donated the land and The Exford Hall was completed in September 1910 later to be named Victoria Hall. It was demolished in 1992. Colour slide in Barrie archive. In April 1910 the Ernie sold the Mill to Glover Onians (HSK Ward) family moved away to a property in Trundle NSW. Ernie had acquired 640 acres (a square mile) and leased a further 1920 acres of adjoining land. It was the practise of the farmers in the area at the time to buy up or lease the surrounding land from the 640 acre crown land blocks to make up acerage for a viable wheat farm. His wife Jessie found the climate to be very hot and when the Darlingsford property at Melton was put up for sale in the latter part of 1910 and was passed in at the auction. My grandfather saw this an opportunity to return to Melton. The negotiations to Darlingsford were finalised on May 11th 1911. Barrie bothers with connections to Chaff mills and farming in Melton from the 1900s William Henry, Charles Ernest, James Edwin, Samuel John, Robert, Arthur Roger, Albert Walter. Three grandsons and a great-grandson are in business earthmoving and farming in Melton today.

The earliest Maidstone Police Station operated on Ballarat Road, address later confirmed as 130 Ballarat Road. Heritage discussions note that the station moved around the corner into Short Street in 1956. It is possible the Ballarat Road building was extended at the rear, facing Short Street, and the operational entrance shifted. The station served Maidstone and Braybrook during the peak years of public housing expansion. Both the Ballarat Road and Short Street police station buildings are now private residencesLocals recall it as the place where many residents obtained their driver’s licences in the 1960s–1970s.5358.01 - Maidstone Police Station Ballarat Road Cnr Short Street 1956 Photo 01.jpg 5358.02 - Maidstone Police Station Ballarat Road Cnr Short Street 1956 Photo 01.jpgmaidstone police station, ballarat road, maidstone
