EDITORS COMMENTS
Walker Benson: Crafting Durability and Elegance in Roofing Tiles, Merrylands, New South Wales (circa 1922) This evocative photograph captures the timeless allure of Walker Benson's roofing tiles, showcasing their interlocking pan design on the side of a residential property in Merrylands, New South Wales. Established in the early 20th century, Walker Benson quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality roofing solutions that combined both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The intricately designed pan tiles in this image display the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that were the hallmarks of Walker Benson's production process. The interlocking design not only ensured a watertight seal but also contributed to the visually appealing texture and pattern of the roof. The photograph, taken circa 1922, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when artisanal craftsmanship and local manufacturing were the norm. The unassuming yet elegant roof tiles, produced by Walker Benson, were a testament to the company's commitment to excellence and their enduring impact on the built environment of Merrylands and beyond. This photograph is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, providing a valuable historical record of Australian industry and design. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and craftsmanship that underpins the evolution of roofing technology and the role of companies like Walker Benson in shaping our communities.
