Founded by Lieutenant Edward Close in the early 19th Century, Morpeth has a rich colonial history as a bustling river port. Trade in agricultural products such as wool, wheat, and timber was facilitated via the Hunter River, connecting Morpeth to Newcastle and coastal ports for distribution. It experienced rapid growth, transforming from its agricultural origins into a thriving and somewhat refined settlement.
The Foundry Terraces is situated on the former site of ‘D. Sim & Sons Iron and Brass Foundry’ which holds significant historical importance. Established in the mid-1800s, this foundry was renowned for its diverse production line.
As one of Morpeth’s largest and most influential enterprises, it shaped the town’s industrial landscape until its closure in 1926. The site underwent several transformations before being reimagined as The Foundry Terraces, revitalising this historic location.
