The Lewis family ran Newcastle Waters until a1948 when it was subleased to Roy Edwards and others. In 1950s it was sold to Roy Edward's Newcastle Water Ltd. Ashburton Pastoral Co, Consolidated Pess Holdings and Consolidated Pastoral Holdings (Packer family) were subsequent owners of Newcastle Waters station. |
