The former Mine Manager's Residence, located on allotment 1A, on the northern side of Sykes Road, is a large conservative house of at least eight rooms built within the first decade of the twentieth century. The residence is in good condition and retains a very high degree of integrity. The William Fancy Mining Company site contains a number of industrial elements from nineteenth century and twentieth century quartz mining activity. Including brick and concrete foundations attributed to the air shaft, battery, gas plant, pumping and steam engine operations. A mullock heap and sluicing dam located south of the main shaft and a second dam located to the north of the main shaft, across Sykes Road. How is it significant?

The former William Fancy Mining Company site is of historical significance for its association with the goldfields of southern Victoria and its relationship to the mining township of Berringa (formally Kangaroo). The site is also historically significant due to the continued works that took place on the site, long after the mine had closed, when subsistence prospecting and cyaniding were undertaken during the depression of the 1930s. The former William Fancy Mine Manager's Residence is of architectural significance for demonstrating the success of the mine within the early twentieth century. The former William Fancy Company mining complex is of archaeological significance for its potential to yield artifacts and evidence to document the varied extraction methods from a number of phases during the operation of the mine. |
