Meggitts Pty Ltd: monument & plaque
DETAILS
DescriptionThe Meggitt monument and plaque in Banjo Paterson Park, Gladesville (Ryde), commemorates Harold Meggitt (1881–1949), who established a pioneering linseed oil mill on the site in 1923.
The monument marks the location of the Harold Meggitt Ltd linseed oil factory, which operated on the site until 1974.
The site is now a public park, which also includes the historic "Rockend Cottage" (now the Banjo Paterson Cottage Restaurant), which was historically linked to both the poet Banjo Paterson and industrialist Harold Meggitt.
