Residence of Thomas Batterham, corner of Morehead Street and Durham Road, Lambton, NSW, Australia - c. 1913

About the original

DescriptionThis photograph depicts the residence of Thomas Batterham as once situated on the corner of Morehead Street and Durham Road, Lambton. Its postal address was 58 Morehead St. - but also 130 Durham Road, due to the fact he also owned the adjoining vacant block which was utilised as open space and vegetable garden. The house, on the high side of Durham Road facing New Lambton, overlooked the "pit paddock", railway line, and pithead where family members worked. Featured in the photograph is his wife Annie (nee Brown) with three of their eight children - George, Louisa and Annie. As his wife died in 1914, and the child sitting on the step is Annie Batterham, who was born 1910 and youngest of the family, it would reasonably have been taken about 1913. All Thomas's children married and settled in Lambton. The house was eventually sold and demolished about 1969.

I was wondering if you would like to add it to a collaborative project I'm involved in on Pool. The project invites contributors to add photos and memories of places buildings which no longer exist. It's called The Collection of Lost Things and it's linked with a documentary which will be broadcast on ABC Radio National soon. The collection items will be included on a google map. If you're interested in getting involved just go to www.pool.org.au and click on join. Then to see the Collection of Lost Things project and to join go to www.pool.org.au/group/the_collection_of_lost_things Let me know if you have trouble with it and I hope to see some of your work there! -JNT supaermae03: Annie was the second youngest.
