NEW SOUTH WALES, vellum Indenture, a medium sized 2-page fold-out document between Henry Vale, gentleman, of Auburn and his stepson, George Grove Brookes, Engineer, of Auburn for the sale of a parcel of land at Alfred Street, Auburn, dated 7 July 1902, with impressed and affixed one pound duty stamp, signed and sealed by Henry Vale, also outside with impressed stamp and signature of Deputy Registrar General. Good fine.
Henry Vale was born at London in 1835 and arrived in Sydney in about 1855. Upon arrival he worked with the Railway Department as an engineer in the locomotive branch. In 1865 he commenced business with a partner in Druitt Street, Sydney, trading as Vale and Lacy. This firm built the first locomotive ordered in the State, and also manufactured the first locomotive engines for the New South Wales Government. After his partner died, Mr. Vale shifted the works to Pyrmont and several years later relocated to Auburn where the firm of Henry Vale and Sons was established. He retired in 1905 and the business was operated by his sons as H.J. and F.J. Vale. Henry died at Strathfield in December 1922.
