It appears that about this time Mr James Taylor extended his Cromwell timber business to Bannockburn. He may have built his timber yard on the Kawarau River terrace, near and above Richards Ferry, and close to the Bannockburn-Nevis Road. In 1871, James Taylor's tender of £119 to build Bannockburn's first public school building (location #215) was accepted. The building was 16ft (4.9m) long and 13ft (4.0m) wide, constructed of timber framing with corrugated iron cladding in Smith's Gully. It was completed in March 1872. |
