16 ft simplex economy windmill, Toowoomba, c 1890. Toowomba FoundryToowoomba_Foundry ) The Toowoomba Foundry is located in Ruthven Street on a prominent site adjacent to the Defiance Flour Mill and the Toowoomba Railway Station. It was established in 1871 by George Washington Griffiths and continually operated as a foundry until 2012. Owend by the Griffiths family descendants until 1987 when it was purchased by National Consolidated, the Foundry is one of the last surviving 19th century industries on the Darling Downs. Among other products, it produced rolling stock for Queensland Railways, and the Southern Cross windmill, one of the most enduring icons on the Downs. ... The Foundry struggled during its early years, with Griffiths receiving funding from his father to cover debts. However, by 1881 the business had improved and the foundry was making steam engines and boiler, wool and other presses, washpool requirements, spouting and soap tanks, pumps, windmills, troughing, castings - iron or brass, ironwork for verandahs, and also contracting to provide railway stock for the Queensland Government Railways. The construction of windmills, which were later to keep the company afloat during difficult times also commenced. ... The Foundry continues to prosper until the early 1890s, when business began to delince due to the economic depression of the period. Depsite this, the Toowoomba Foundry was able to purchase the trade, plant and goodwill of its rival, the Reliance Foundry, which had been established in 1882 by Mr Porritt, former employee of Griffiths Brothers and Company. The survival of the foundry during this period is attributed to the manufacture of cheap wood and steel Simplex windmills which were necessary on the Downs to raise water from the sub-artesian reservoirs and were sold in their hundreds to farmers all over the Downs.
