  Crystal Fountain Cordial Factory of Alexander Campbell Cameron in Herbert Street, next to John Hunter's boot store. Alex and his son Allan were very good singers who performed in amateur productions at the various theatres of Gulgong, and at benefits, church tea parties, etc. In 1875 Cameron sold the premises to John Hunter, who had the boot shop next door, and moved to Medley Street. However this arrangement didn't work out and in 1876 he moved the plant to Mudgee. -- Information supplied by Baldwin & Davis, Research Gulgong (Sept 2006)
