OUR HISTORY
The company occupies the site of the old Willis and Williams’ brickyard on William Street in Beverley, South Australia; and it is from that brickyard that William Street derives its name.
Established in 1882, William Willis and Solomon Williams were the first brick manufacturers in the region known as York and they continued to produce bricks on the William Street site until 1972. York was subsequently renamed Beverley in homage to the town of Beverley in Yorkshire, England; a famous brick making region. By the early 1900s, there were nine major brick works in Beverley (others included Freburg Brick Works, James Brickyard and Chas Bourne & Son). Much of Adelaide’s rich architecture owes its existence to these early brickyards.
