www.nationalengineering.com.au/hist.htm D Normoyle & Co, as it was first known, was established at Young in south western New South Wales in 1890 and traded as a blacksmith and coachbuilder. In 1920 during harvest time the company employed about 30 employees, including blacksmiths, farriers and wheelwrights and worked a shift from 7am to 10pm.
The decline of the traditional blacksmith trade led the company to undertake a wider range of work. Repair of drays and sulkies
I was told by one of their decendants that the company supplied the steel to the Olympics that were held in Au awhile back. the Normoyles are no longer owners.
