2 INTRODUCTION Ishmael Ernest Eldon Salisbury, who arrived in Launceston from Castlemaine, Victoria, in 1876, bringing with him a high reputation as a manufacturer of mining machinery, established a foundry and engineering works at the Esplanade and William Street. In 1878 Salisbury, Armstrong & Co (late of Victoria) advertised the Tasmanian Foundry, Queen s Wharf. They were engineers, millwrights, iron and brass founders, blacksmiths, among their manufactures steam engines, mining machinery of every description, flour mill, saw mill and agricultural machinery. 1 After Mr Salisbury died in 1883, Henry McKenzie managed the works. 2 In 1886 Salisbury s Foundry & Engineering Works, Wharf and William Street, ironfounders, millwrights, engineers, blacksmith and boiler makers, included ovens and kitchen ranges in their list of manufactures. The foundry was the sole maker of Kayser s Patent Tin-dressing appliances, which it supplied to the Mount Bischoff and Stanhope tin mines in Tasmania and tin mining companies in Queensland. 3 By 1900 iron work turned out by the firm comprised the major part of the Mount Bischoff plant. 4 In 1888 J T McDonald, Henry McKenzie and James Scott took over the business, which absorbed Scott s Cimitiere Street engineering business, and Archibald Campbell also joined the firm, which was called Salisbury, Scott & Co. Operations were transferred to a large block of land fronting on lower Charles Street, where the yards and workshops occupied about an acre and a half and 80 men were employed. In addition to mining equipment, by 1900 marine and engineering had become an important branch of the firm s operations. 5 Salisbury s Foundry Company s substantial brick building at 31 Charles Street was built by J & T Gunn in In the last three decades of the nineteenth century Tasmanian experienced a mining boom and as the records testify by 1900 most major mines and numerous smaller enterprises were using Salisbury s manufactures. Orders for complete plants came from companies in other colonies, notably from North Queensland, the Victorian tin fields and New Zealand. 7 In 1902 William R P Salisbury, I E E Salisbury s son, became managing director of the firm and with R V W Green and others, purchased the business from McKenzie and Campbell. The best known work undertaken by the firm was the construction of a duplicate span of Kings Bridge, Launceston, successfully floated into position in Walch s Tasmanian almanac, 1878, advertising sheet, p Cyclopedia of Tasmania, Hobart, 1900, vol. 2, p Walch s Tasmanian almanac, 1886, advertising section, p Cyclopedia of Tasmania, p Cyclopedia of Tasmania, pp Miranda Morris-Nunn and C B Tassell, Launceston s industrial heritage, Launceston, 1983, pp Cyclopedia of Tasmania, p Australian dictionary of biography, vol. 11, article on W R P Salisbury ( )

3 During the Second World War the firm carried out a considerable amount of defence work, manufacturing munitions and marine engineering work for shipyards in Launceston, Hobart and South Australia. Other work included products used in the construction of bridge equipment and pontoons employed by the forces in Pacific war assaults. 9 Apart from mining companies, the Foundry s clients have included the Launceston Municipal Council, the former Hydro-Electric Department, the Electrolytic Zinc Company and other industries. In 1996 Jackson Motor Company bought Salisbury Engineering s premises for $700,000 and the firm moved to Rocherlea. 10 Production focussed on general engineering work, including making guards for logging machinery, excavators and skidders and the manufacture of log grabs which were sold interstate. The firm closed in 2000, due to a downturn in business and rising overhead costs. 11 The collection was donated to the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Matt O Brien, Tasmanian s war effort, Hobart, facsimile ed., Examiner, 6 December 1996, p Examiner, 26 October 2000, p. 10
