Statement of Significance
Winstanley's is a large engineering firm employing about 70 people, and is probably the largest pre-1945 engineering firm surviving in Geelong, both in terms of the number of employees and the size of items which can be manufactured.
The firm has a few machine tools, a forge and two furnaces which may date form the inception of the firm. However most of their current machinery is only 10 years old, and the building only twelve years old, and so reflect little of the company's early history or development.
They have made machinery and other items which have been important in the Geelong area for fitting out industries. Their war effort also seems to have been quite significant, and the more unusual products such as bicycle racks are also interesting. They have a photographic record of many of their products.
