Harry Hillier Limited was an Australian coachbuilder and saddlery company, based in Sydney, was established circa 1879 by Harry Hillier.[1] It was also known as Hillier's Sulkies & Co. or Hillier's Sulkies and Buggies. Hillier sold saddlery, harness, buggies, sulkies, phaetons, buckboards, and light vehicles (waggonettes).[1]
Their saleroom and store were located at 130 Sussex Street,[2] which was completed in 1900.[3] A new warehouse and showroom, 'The White House', 161 George Street West, Camperdown,[4][5] was completed in 1905.[6] They were later located on Parramatta Road, Camperdown.[7] Their factory at Melbourne Street, Concord,[3] manufactured the buggies and sulkies.[8] The factory employed 25 men in 1900, and created about five hundred vehicles (buggies and sulkies) annually.[3]
In July 1917, the George Street premises were broken into via a front window. No items were missing, but police found leather cash-bags placed in a sulky and safe contents were moved. It was presumed that the thieves had left to steal a horse in order to transport their wares via a Hillier sulky, but had been interrupted by police.[9]
In May 1918, the company was registered with £10,000 in £1 shares, with Harry Hillier listed as first director.[10] In 1923, Hillier placed a creditors' petition to M.J. Williamson.[11]
In 1926, a claim was listed for the company liquidation to occur by 20 May.[12]
Harry Hillier died on 5 November 1947 at 18 Quinton Road, Manly, late of Concord. Survived by wife Flora and children Stella, Les and Clifford.[13]
