Williamson
came to Yass from Bathurst at
the age of twenty in about 1880, and opened a shop in Cooma
Street Yass. TP developed
into a first class baker. He delivered bread in a basket and
later opened a shop in the Oddfellows Hall.
- In 1897, Mr Williamson bought
the AGS Bank and formed the "Times Bakery". Two years later he
bought all of the land between the Oddfellows Hall and the
Bakery. It was here that the cordial factory, the 83 Garage, a
movie theatre and skating rink were built. In 1900 he wrote a
book on the bakery trade which sold for 0ne Guinea. One book,
still exists in America at this time.
- TP Williamson was first seen
driving around town in 1905 in his home made delivery van. He
became the local Ford Dealer when Henry Ford's Model T appeared
on the scene. TP built a "Motor Van in 1908 and when he
"sailed" up Cooma street Yass he was applauded by the
bystanders, the van was built with the transmission gear of ten
horse power, the frame of American hickory, the steering
knuckles being solid gun metal weighing 12 lbs each and capable
of speeds up to 12 miles per hour. He then leased out his
bakery and later sold it to Mr AH Richardson in 1914 and ceased
the manufacture of cordials, this gave him more time to
concentrate on the garage. It was claimed to be the most
up-to-date garage out of Sydney and he held the agency for
Renault, Crossley, Bianchi, Metallurgique and Ford cars. An
advertisement in the paper in 1915 states the four seater
touring car has been reduced to £195
and the Runabout to £180.
You could also have your car washed for a small fee and one
part of his garage was capable of holding up to 20
cars.
- His Car was used as an ambulance
in 1919 to convey Mr Joseph Curll from Bowning to the Yass
Hospital.
- Thomas Pye Williamson died
in Yass on 14th December 1928.
- Elizabeth died in Yass 17
January 1913. Both are buried in the Yass Cemetery.
