It is thought that the construction of Vulcan Village began in 1833, though records of the origin of the Village are few and fragmented. The only indication that the Village existed in 1835, are the notices to hawkers and ballad singers, which are located on the gable ends of Derby Row in the Village Dated 1st of May 1835, the notice was probably the result of harassment by hawkers and others in a similar plight, which was a common occurrence in the years following the Napoleonic Wars. This notice is on the northern end of the row, there is an identical notice on the southern end. TAKE NOTICE PRIVATE PROPERTY WE DO HEREBY CAUTION ALL HAWKERS RAG AND BONE DEALERS BEGGARS BALLAD SINGERS &c FROM TRESPASSING ON THESE PREMISES ANY PERSON OR PERSONS OF THE ABOVE DESCRIPTION FOUND HEREON AFTER THIS NOTICE WILL BE PROSECUTED WITH THE UTMOST RIGOR OF THE LAW VULCAN FOUNDRY MAY 1st 1835.
