The opening of the Midland Railway Workshops down the railway line in 1904 brought workers from the eastern states and overseas, Britain in particular, fuelled much growth, and more permanent buildings were constructed. Many still stand, such as Ellis House, Halliday House, and some commercial buildings along King William Street in the town centre, which are now heritage listed. Bayswater School, which was founded in 1894, was expanded in 1900, 1906, 1910 and 1914 to service the rapidly expanding population. In 1910, the Bayswater Bridge was constructed, removing the dangerous level crossing of the railway line.
