Description
An inspiring true story of an 11-year-old boy’s rise from the tragic memories and utter despair of his years in an English Workhouse. His dreams and hope for a better life in the fledgeling Colony of Sydney, New South Wales, became a reality in 1833 when he emigrated with his wife and three small children. There, he opened his business as a high class Saddler and Shoe and Boot maker in George Street. Through his extraordinary skills as a shrewd businessman, he was able to become a wealthy influential entrepreneur.
Over the next 58 years, with the help of his large and devoted family, he was able to make a huge contribution in business, local government, as well as socially and spiritually as a prominent church leader. Not only was his influence felt in the Eastern Suburbs, Waverley and Bondi in particular, but all of Sydney and parts of New South Wales. Joseph Dickson’s story has an important place in the history of our early development, and as such, deserves to be told in its entirety. Those who choose to listen to it will be richly rewarded.
