Summary

Samuel Stockwell's house which was situated about a quarter of a mile from the centre of the present town of Stockwell. A "gallows" can be seen in the centre of the sketch, it was used for skinning and cleaning carcasses. The contrivance at the left hand end of the crossbar is probably a primitive winch. Samuel Stockwell was an English migrant who bought land from George Fife Angas and named the area Stockwell. He built a steam flour mill using water from the nearby Stockwell Creek. He lived in this small cottage with his four children
