History of Blackmore HouseThe Blackmore family is a classic example of pioneering stock. Edward Kirkham purchased 20 acres of land on the Dandenong side of the creek in 1850 in the road that carries his name. He worked as a builder and also constructed post and rail fences in the district. His daughter Jane, Alice Kirkham married William – and this union created Arthur (Arty) Blackmore family. Arty selected 15 acres of land in 1912 on Chandler Road. The three boys Arthur, Gordon and Walter and one girl Murial all worked on the property. In 1956 the entire property was subdivided into building blocks, roads and services were supplied and the property sold. The street names all have family connections and Murial and Walter today have homes on the estate.
