Inside the flour mill/factory

Built around the time of World War I, this iconic building was used to mill flour before closing recently after ownership was transferred to a big property developer. Latest update is that development approval has been submitted to convert the mill into shops and a supermarket which is not appropriate in my opinion. Machinery, switchboards and other industrial equipment built before the 1940s in this factory tells a history of our industrial past which could be lost if plans went ahead. Anyway, here are some shots. I have left out location details for now until the fate of this building is known (although some who have been there may recognise it).
