8 2.1.1 Site Inspection The building was inspected on 6 March 2013, in association with Mr Ben de Somer as representative of Liddell Coal Operations Pty Ltd, and Mr Peter Bowman as representative of Coal and Allied Pty Ltd. This report is based on the written and photographic record constructed at that time Restrictions and Limitations This document represents a report of the visible condition and features of the building evident to the authors at the time of publication only, and does not predict any future condition, nor levels of deterioration. The report is based on a visual survey of the building fabric. No invasive exploration of the building structure was undertaken. Concealed fabric and structures, ceiling cavities and the like were not capable of inspection. Scaffolding, erected in compliance with occupational health and safety requirements, enabled the inspection of the first floor of the Inn itself (Building A), although advantage was not taken of access to the first floor of the Stables (Building C). EJE Heritage is not qualified to offer structural opinions. This survey is not intended to convey any opinion as to the structural adequacy or integrity of the building, nor should it in any way be construed as so doing. Similarly, the authors observations were limited to the building fabric only; they make not comment on the capacity, adequacy, or statutory compliance of any building services. Page 7

NSW HERITAGE REGISTER LISTING 3.1 Heritage Act 1977 (NSW)- State Heritage Register Listing as described at Item: Inn & Outbuildings (former) Other Name/s: Chain of Ponds Inn & Outbuildings Type of Item: Built Group/Collection: Commercial Category: Inn/Tavern Primary Address: Old New England Highway, Chain of Ponds, NSW Local Govt. Area: Singleton 4. HISTORICAL NOTES 4.1 A Note as to Names The subject property is more properly described as a former inn, rather than as a hotel, because of its situation under nineteenth century common law. The title of inn gave the public a right to demand lodging and refreshment, while also clarifying the extent of the innkeeper s duties to the guest. 4.2 Aboriginal Custodianship The Wonnarua people are recognised as the traditional custodians of the area now known as Liddell. There is ample archaeological evidence of their use of the local creeks, including Chain of Ponds, for purposes of subsistence European Heritage Henry Nowland What is today called the Chain of Ponds Inn stands on land granted by the Colonial government, in early 1842, to Henry Boshy Nowland, a Muswellbrook wheelwright, 2 coachbuilder and publican successful in winning extensive Northern government coaching contracts for the Royal Mail. 3 Coaching, of course, was vital to the Colony, particularly before the coming of the railways. Hostelries were essential not only for the stabling and changing of horses, but for the accommodation and refreshment of travellers tired from their often trying journeys along the primitive 1 See generally Umwelt Environmental Consultants, Liddell Colliery Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan.

10 roads. Conveniently situated at Chain of Ponds Creek on the Great North Road, and already recognised as being suitable for the spelling of both horses and riders, 4 the spot was approximately half-way between Singleton and Muswellbrook. Although the Surveyor General s department had laid out a town in the vicinity, this, called Liddell, was never properly established, perhaps because Henry Nowland had himself purchased a large proportion of the allotments. 5 In popular usage, the area continued to be known as Chain of Ponds. A newspaper correspondent, passing through the area in 1865, noted that For the information of persons who like myself may have often wondered, when looking at the map, where Liddell is, I may mention that Liddell and the Chain of Ponds are the same thing. Liddell is that name of a township laid out by the Government: no township however has been formed, and the public house and store, and a few huts round about, retain the original name of Chain of Ponds. To be explicit, there is no township here at all. 6 Nowland himself went on to considerable financial success, not only as the proprietor of Muswellbrook s Royal Hotel, but also as owner of perhaps two-thirds of the town s valuable property. 7 The Inn itself, known at first as the Lady Gipps Inn in honour of the wife of the Governor, Major Sir George Gipps, officially opened on New Year s Eve, 1843, 8 although Nowland had at an earlier stage constructed a stone lock-up nearby, which the Colonial government leased for the overnight accommodation of prisoners under escort. 9 It is likely that this was a comparatively small structure, sufficient only for the temporary accommodation of a limited number of individuals; it is, however, certain that it was not, as asserted elsewhere, 10 the structure now described as Building B. This was, instead, surely employed for the preparation of food and the handling of laundry and the like, while its first floor will have accommodated staff and servants. Anecdotal evidence claims that the Inn, incorporating the main building and servants quarters, was built with materials supplied by convict labour. 11 This may or may not be the case, but its likelihood is not increased by the fact that the assignment of prisoners to private parties ceased on 1 July The assertion that the stone was 4 Sue Rosen, The Chain of Ponds Inn: Historical Context Report, in Robert Brown, Chain of Ponds Inn, Liddell NSW: Conservation Plan prepared for the Electricity Commission of New South Wales, September 1990, Appendix B, p Elizabeth Parkinson, Former Half-Way House falls into Sad Disrepair.

Liddell Coal has been advised by Umwelt Environmental Consultants that the lock-up was situated to the south-west, on the opposite side of Chain of Ponds Creek, and not within the site as listed in the State Heritage Register. 10 See Environmental Resources Management Australia Pty Ltd, Chain of Ponds Inn Stabilisation Works (July 2012), p See Elizabeth Parkinson, Former Half-Way House. 12 New South Wales Government Gazette, 16 April Page 9
11 quarried at a location outside Muswellbrook is more solidly based, 13 for Nowland s Royal Inn was itself stone-built. The hostelry was leased from Nowland by James Watson, formerly of Anvil Creek (Greta). 14 A contemporary advertisement states that: James Watson who formerly kept the Shamrock Inn, Anvil Creek begs leave respectfully to inform his friends and the public that he has opened that commodious House built by Mr. Nowland, at the Chain of Ponds half way between Singleton and Muswellbrook and trusts by a strict attention to the comfort of travellers and moderate charges to merit a portion of their patronage. Splendid stabling and supply of horse provender. Chain of Ponds, Liddell. 15 By the time Watson received his publican s licence in April 1848, the hostelry had been renamed as the Lady Mary Fitzroy Inn. 16 This is said to have been an expression of public sympathy following the accidental death of Lady Mary, 17 long-suffering wife of the Governor, Colonel Sir Charles FitzRoy, a notorious womaniser. By April 1852, the licence had passed to James Nowland, son of Henry, who changed the name to The Coach and Horses Inn. 18 Having then been leased by several licensees, the hotel was once again taken over by James, who in 1854 once again changed the name of the premises, this time to the Star of the North Inn. 19 It also bore this name in April 1861, but not before having been called The Traveller s Inn during two periods in which the licence was held by Patrick Cullen. 20 Thomas Guest, who appears to have made efforts to make the inn a place of popular entertainment as much as a drinking hall, 21 perhaps reflecting more difficult business conditions, preferred the name of Star of the North. With so many changes of name, it was not surprising that the hostelry became known to some simply as the Chain of Ponds, 22 and to others as the Half-Way House. Henry Nowland died at his Royal Hotel, Muswellbrook, in February Changing Times Not long after, extension of the Great Northern Railway from Singleton to Muswellbrook began, and a navvy s camp was set up near the Inn; 24 this for a time considerably increased the local population. 13 See Elizabeth Parkinson, Former Half-Way House. 14 Maitland Mercury, 11 January Maitland Mercury, 11 January Maitland Mercury, 26 April Catherine Foggo, Inns and Hotels : Some Hunter Valley Innkeepers.

12 A well-used stockyard also stood nearby. 25 With the opening of the line to Muswellbrook in May 1869, however, and the gradual eclipse of the coaching trade thereafter, the Inn had lost its importance; its licence was, therefore, allowed to lapse, although the still-born village was at least later provided with a primitive railway platform. The carriage of mails by train instead of by coach at least prevented the quite daring bailing-up of the coaches that had sometimes taken place nearby. 26 In 1870s the former inn became a wine bar and shop, and long remained so under licensees such as Mary Whitten 27 and John Whitten. 28 By the time of James Nowland s death in March 1883, 29 Joseph Whitten, patriarch of his family, had purchased the property. Whitten, originally of County Tipperary, had come to the area as a member of a team surveying the railway route to Glen Innes, and had opened the store mentioned earlier. 30 Around the turn of the last century, Liddell again briefly tasted prosperity when a railway workers camp was again established there in association with deviation works. 31 In 1898 the former inn and a portion of the surrounding land was bought by Michael McMahon of Petersham, who appears to have renamed it as Liddell House, and to have constructed the brickbuilt additions at rear. 32 A new wine license was taken up by John McMahon, 33 perhaps Michael s brother. During this period, horses, sheep and cattle were run on the property, which from January 1890, because of its proximity to the Liddell railway platform, also served as the local post office, with Joseph Whitten as Post Master. 34 The estate was well known for the high quality of its wool, 35 which appears to have been its major source of income. It is the McMahons who appear to have been responsible for the addition of the decorative wrought or cast iron verandah balustrade and frieze work by which the house was strongly characterised by the 1920s. 36 This gave the former Inn more of the character of a private residence, although the continuing presence of the sign advertising wine sales may indicate that these continued. In any case, the formerly entirely rural character of the general area began to change from the 1920s, with the opening of collieries such as Liddell, Durham, Hazeldene and Foybrook. Open cut mining commenced in the 1940s, and since that time has considerably expanded. 25 Maitland Mercury, 21 August See, for example, Maitland Mercury, 2 November 1861, 24 September Singleton Argus, 24 July Singleton Argus, 10 July Maitland Mercury, 6 March Singleton Argus, 12 June Singleton Argus, 8 April Elizabeth Parkinson, Former Half-Way House. 33 Singleton Argus, 5 January Singleton Argus, 11 January For prices obtained per bale, see for example Singleton Argus, 1928, reproduced 30 January Elizabeth Parkinson, Former Half-Way House. Page 11
13 After Michael McMahon s death, the property passed to his son, Edward; following his own demise and the establishment of a trust over the property, 37 the former inn accommodated the estate manager, while members of the McMahon family appear also to have resided there at different times. Figure 6. The former Inn, showing decorative iron lace work balustrade and frieze work The Role of the Electricity Commission of NSW In 1961 the property was purchased by J. Cavanagh, the manager, whose widow in 1966 sold it to the Electricity Commission of New South Wales ( ELCOM ), 38 which planned to develop a power station and associated collieries nearby. By this time, the New England Highway had bypassed the former inn, leaving no opportunity for its use as commercial premises even on a modest scale. By this time, most of the iron lace work on the verandah appears to have been replaced by fibro sheeting. By this time, too, the three main buildings and the outbuilding had become rather rundown, with evidence of termite activity. The property was, nevertheless, leased to tenants. Following a legal dispute, the property was vacated in about By the end of that year, valuable fittings had been stolen, while in 1980 the internal cedar doors and much of the main hall stairway had also disappeared. The buildings had now become uninhabitable, with the roof no 37 Singleton Argus, 12 August Elizabeth Parkinson, Former Half-Way House. 39 Sue Rosen, The Chain of Ponds Inn, p. 18. Page 12
14 longer being watertight. 40 The last vestiges of iron work on the balcony or verandah is said to have been removed by Figure 7. This view shows the former Inn after its acquisition by Elcom. Note the former New England Highway bridge in the foreground Heritage Recognition Despite its dilapidation, the complex was placed under an Interim Conservation Order in 1981; this was made permanent in late In 1985 the Heritage Council authorised work to arrest the further decline of the buildings. This, completed in 1987, appears to have consisted mainly of the re-roofing of the three main buildings, shown in the plan as A, B and C. 43 Tie-rods, steel columns and timber pit props were used as necessary. Some re-rendering and re-pointing work was also performed, but this was counterproductive because of the use of inappropriate materials. The loss of second storey floor in Building B may substantially have detracted from its stability, although it is understood that termite damage had already had a similar effect. The fibro and weatherboard outbuilding (Building D), originally used for storage and ablutions, and possibly as a smithy, and dating from the McMahon 40 Ibid., p Elizabeth Parkinson, Former Half-Way House. 42 Sue Rosen, The Chain of Ponds Inn, p Ibid. Page 13
15 era, does not appear to have been included: by the turn of the present century it had fallen into ruin; it collapsed in a windstorm in Having been included in the State Heritage Register in April 1999, Buildings A, B and C now enjoy the protection of the Heritage Act 1977 (NSW), with the registered proprietor having consequent responsibilities for its maintenance. The Register of the National Estate (RNE) was closed in 2007, and is no longer a statutory list; it is now maintained on a non-statutory basis only, as a publicly available archive and educational resource. The National Heritage List is now its equivalent in so far as non-commonwealth property is concerned. The former Chain of Ponds Inn is not included in this List, although its previous inclusion in the RNE remains as evidence of its level of assessed heritage significance. Page 14
