History

The subject property at 19 Hardy Street is sitated within Kimberley. The area as we know it today might reasonably be assumed that it has come down the ages as a populous and important village, but the fact is that for centuries until the Victorian era it was nothing more than a selection of period properties like the one on offer which must be viewed to appreciate.

Around the 1800’s the area was growing fast; mines and mills were being established, a network of railways was about to be constructed around it and the village, then notable for its rustic charms, was on the eve of development into an industrial township.

The town grew as a centre for coal mining, brewing and hosiery manufacturing. There has been no mining or hosiery manufacturing in the town for many years. The local brewery was sold and closed at the end of 2006
