Description

Prouse Sawmill 1895 – future H.E.P.B. depot area (Cambridge Street south, between Liverpool Street & Prouse Street).

Felt town would be doomed when timber was cut out:

Many of the men who were among the first to trek into this new territory of virgin bush, not to establish farms or business but as paid "hewers of wood and carriers of water," did not have the same faith in the future prosperity of Levin as did the pioneer settlers.

Mr Jack Smith
