TOMMY EMMETS EUCY FACTORY - History
Eucy sites are not well documented due to their nature and time period. There is nothing on TROVE. When the site was recorded according to a local informant it was Tommy Emmet's Eucy Factory dating to the c1930s/1940sTOMMY EMMETS EUCY FACTORY - Interpretation of Site
This site is associated with the Eucy distilling industry. When recorded in the early 1990s it was described by a local as a Eucy factory. The site certainly is more industrial than the more common surviving Eucy distllery sites. It is relatively large site and contains concrete features such as floors and standing vats. Thought was given to amalgamating three adjoining site – H7624 – 0113, 0114, and 0115 as a single landscape. However the distinctive differences between H7624-0114 (Eucy distillery) and H7624-0115 (Eucy factory) means they should be assessed in their own right. An option for the future is a new Site Card established for the dam or reservoir (the focal point for the Eucy sites) and the two sites included in its extent. The third site H7625-0113 (tailings and cyanide works) possesses poor archaeological value due to the damage caused by trail bikes.

Heritage Inventory Significance: Local
SiteCard data copied on 04/07/2024: Most of the remains of the factory have been demolished but there appears to be considerable significant foundation buried beneath the rubble and soil. The most prominent of the above-ground features are a collapsed iron chimney stack, and concrete tanks. The largest of the concrete tanks is 9ft square and stands 4-1/2ft high. Located between the concrete tanks are sections of a concrete floor and the footings of a small building. Visible amongst the rubble are also an array of culverts and other concrete footings. A well defined (disused) road leads to the site. The clearing also contains a large dump of boiler ash.
