His dairy was on what was then known as Hill Farm and was called Brimbecom’s Dairy. John and his family lived on the farm in Woodland Street and after John died, members of the family continued to run the dairy up until 1952. Part of this land, an area of 1.75 acres was donated to Manly Council by the Brimbecom family in the early 1950s for use as a park. Two additional lots were later acquired by Council in 1968 to enlarge Brimbecom Park.SourceBrimbecom FamilySubjectsParksDairiesKeywordscowsPhysical descriptionphotograph; Digital Image 600 DPICopyrightThis item may be used freely for research and study purposes, for all other uses contact Northern Beaches Council Library Local Studies.
