About This Item
Pascoe Vale Vic.: Allan M. Nixon, 1974. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 136 pages, illustrated with black and white plates. The covers are shelf stained; the edges are bumped and the head and tail of the spine strip lightly damaged. The body of the book is clean, unmarked apart from a neat ownership signature and solid. It is however obviously second hand. "Inglewood was an important gold mining centre during the Victorian Gold Rush of the 1850s and 1860s. Gold was first discovered in 1859 by Alexander, Joseph and Thomas Thompson and Joseph Hanny. On notification of the discovery some 16,000 diggers flocked to the area. By January 1860 a new field a few miles south of the original was opened up by Potter, Irvine and McKean and dubbed "New Inglewood". This is the site of the present township. By mid-1860 the population on the field was estimated to be greater than 40,000, ranking among the biggest rushes in Victoria's history...." (Wikipedia)
