"Willunga Profile"
On his return from the gold diggings in Victoria, John Allen, who had bought the Delabole slate quarry, later secured Waverley Park where he became a producer of lambs on a fairly large scale. The property remained in the Allen family until his grand daughter Miss Maude Allen, bequeathed it to the Willunga District Council. It is now known as the Herbert Allen Memorial Park in memory of her father. A golf course and other recreational facilities ar being established there now. A large photgraph of the house in its park setting hangs in Australia House in London.
Sampson Dawe owned and operated this quarry from the 1840's until 1855. He had named it after a famous slate quarry in Cornwall. The new owner was John Allen, of Waverley Park, Willunga who sold it in 1860 but 12 years later bought it back from the Delabole Slate Co of Adelaide. During the company's period of ownership, a small village was built at the quarry. When back in control, John Allen supplied large quantities of roofing slate for many Adelaide buildings including the G.P.O., the Town Hall, the Museum and the Bank of Adelaide.
Mr Allen gained a number of certificates of merit at the Sydney and Melbourne International Exhibitions in 1879 and 1880 and at the Adelaide Exhibition in 1881. Mr Allen sold the property in 1903 and it has not been used for quarrying again. "Sixty Years of Wedded Life An Esteemed Willunga Couple
"Life must be a sort of eathly paradise to Mr and Mrs John Allen, of Waverley Park, Willunga, who celebrated their diamond weddign in the Willunga Agricultural Hall on January 12 in the presence of more than 100 guestsThis wonderful old couple - for he is 83 , and she is 86- who have trod life's pathway together for 60 years, are spending their remaining years in the peaceful and beautiful seclusionof their picturesque home at Willunga, Mr. Allen is a find type of the old school of English gentlemen, broad minded and generous in the widest interpreetation of these words, and gifted with the noble trait that if he could not do anybody good he would do them no harm. His wife possesses a lovable personality, strongly developed by her constant endeavour to think more of others than of herself. She is gifted with exuberant spirits, and a desire tolive, characteristic of an unselfish temperament. Many people can recal happy times spent at Waverley Park.
" A Good Record" Curiously enough, Mr. and Mrs. Allen were born in the same county (Cornwall); they came to Australia in the same ship: and married 10 years after their arrival. Born in Roche, Cornwall, in 1833, Mr. Allen journeyed to this province in the ship Duchess of Northumberland, in 1847. Coming to Adelaide, he joined Messrs. Adam and Archibald Jaffrey's drapery establishment, Waterloo House- on the site of Miller Anderson Limited's present premises in Hindley street. He stayed there for four years, when the lure of the gold fields attracted him to the Ballarat diggings in 1852. Three months' prospecting there brought him good luck, and he returned to South Australia, and invested his money in land at Willunga, where he has lived ever since. Ten years ago the venerable couple made a short trip to England, just before the celebration of their golden wedding. Mr. Allen has always taken an active interest in local movemnents. He was amember of the School Board of Advice for 25 years and has been associated with the local agricultural society, recreation ground, and the Anglican Church. he is still a trustee of the Oddfellows' Lodge and is also one of the oldest justices of the peace.
"Fruits of Hard Work" "To what do you attribute your good health?" a representative of The Register asked the old gentleman on Friday night. "Hard work" was the laconic answer. "I travelled between Willunga and Adelaide as a carrier of slate from my own quarries for 45 years, in addition to directing farming operations. When on the road I looked after myself. If it was raining. I always carried a dry suit of clothes to put on in case of emergency I consider I have led a useful life." Ther is no doubt about that. Mr. Allen enjoys good health, except for occasional slight attacks of gout.
"Paying Homage" It must have been a memorable event for the aged hosts on Friday evening to have witnessed their old friends gathered around them. Nobody enjoyed the function more than they did. As the guests entered the hall, husband and wife - as happy as they were 60 years ago - went through a long succession of handshakes, and received innumerable congratulations. After the reception, the Rev. T. Wood was appointed Chairman for the evening. Mr. H Allen, in (sic) behalf of the family, thanked the quests for having paid homage to their esteemed parents. A musical programme was then provided by Miss Marjorie Ware, and Messrs. Robert Lawrance, J.J. Sharp, and George Ware. Miss Lawrance was the accompanist. Dancing was also idulged in.
"Enthusiastic Toasts" At supper, after the loyal toast had been honoured, Mr. Wood proposed the health of Mr. and Mrs Allen. The toast was enthusiastically observed. Ten years ago, he said, they had met for their hosts golden wedding, and that period had passed rapidly. Their presence was a guarantee of their respect for Mr and Mrs Allen. who had always conferred great benefits upon the community. Mr Herbert Allen in responding for his parents, expressed their delight at the sight of so many old friends seated at the table. He was sorry that Mr Vinrace Lawrance and Mr W P Dunk two of his father's associates had not been able to attend, but they were pleased to have Mr H C H Denton, Mr Sharp two visitors to his fathers place, and Mr J M Snoswell, who could remember his father better than anybody else present. Messrs Frederick Allen and Hurtle Allen aslo replied. Mr Robert Lawrance who has returned to South Australia after an absence in England of 24 years, spoke for his father Mr Vinrace Lawrance After such a long absence he had take the first opportunity to visit Mr and Mrs Allen's home where he had spent so many happy days. He hoped the old couple would live for years to enjoy good health. At the instance of Mr Denton the health of te Boys at the front among whom are sons of Messrs G Ware and Frederick Allen was honoured.
