Family history of the Atkins family, who were influential pioneers in Western Australian development, involved in building the state's transport infrastructure and contributing to its public life through business and politics.
William Atkins was an Irish immigrant who managed the Jarrahdale Timber Mill before forming partnerships such as Atkins & Law, building railways, and serving as a Member of Parliament.
His son, Leo "King" Atkins, continued the family's legacy, establishing firms such as Atkins & Gorham, notable for building major road bridges across the Ashburton and Fortescue rivers.
Other family members also made significant contributions to public service, with the author, Peter Atkins, serving on the board of St Mary's Anglican Girls' School for decades.
