Established in a small shed in 1895, Hayes Engineering grew into a company with a worldwide reputation. Ernest Hayes, supported by his wife Hannah, expanded operations from the original homestead to include a stone workshop with sun-dried brick portions added in 1908 and a galvanised iron wing in 1914. These, along with the 1895 homestead, brick stables and first office, both 1912, are still standing – along with remnants of a windmill built in 1910 to power the works.Much of the plant is still in working order.
