Statement of significance

The storage sheds and silos at the back of the Flour Mill building were pulled down in 1979. They were very large and covered the land block that is the "Woolworths Complex" in 2000. They were brick on the northern side (Clive Street), iron and timber in other sections. Large iron silos were also part of the completed. The mill railway siding was part of the storage yard.

These are a few of the remaining photos of the site in Austral Terrace.
