Station Sign - Fielder Fielder Station is situated on the Puffing Billy Railway in Australia. It opened as a Stopping Place on Monday 10 September 1928, as part of the Gembrook railway line. It was originally an unnamed platform, with time tables noting a station at 38 miles (61 km). In 1929, local Harry Watson constructed a Mallee shed and unofficially named it Ancaster after his home town in Lincolnshire, England, but this was quickly changed by some children to Laura, who was a young local girl. The Victorian Railways officially named it Fielder from Tuesday 5 February 1929, after a nearby resident. It was planned to name the station after the two local residents Cullen and Fielder and combinations of the two names were suggested, however Fielder was the name finally chosen. It remained nothing more than a Mallee shed with small office and a name board for the rest of its operating life. It was closed with the line on 30 April 1954 and the Mallee shed was sold to US Buslines for unknown use. After closure, the site fell into disrepair, and by the 1990s, little trace of Fielder remained. However, by that time, efforts were being made to extend the railway from Lakeside through to Gembrook, which would complete the entire length of the original line. In 1996, a group of volunteers led by Richard Schurmann in collaboration with the descendants of the Fielder family rebuilt the platform and waiting shed, which was officially re-opened on Saturday 19 April 1997 in preparation for the extension of the line which re-opened in 1998. On 18 November 2012 a plaque was unveiled on the station shed in tribute to the Fielder Family Trains do not normally stop at Fielder ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fielder_railway_station photos at http://www.vicrailstations.com/Gembrook/Fielder/Fielder.htmlHistoric - Station sign used at Fielder StationStation Sign - Fielder wooden rectangle Station name sign pained black background with white lettersFielderpuffing billy, station sign, fielder station

These photographs, taken by The Advocate newspaper in 1990, show the former John Darling & Son Flour Mill, now owned by Goodman Fielder, approximately twelve months after its closure. With the mill’s future uncertain, the site has been added to the Victoria's State Register of Historic Buildings. In 1990, the mill and silos were getting ready to be put up for sale.John Darling & Son Flour Mill in Albion is one of the most important industrial heritage sites in Melbourne’s west, a rare, largely intact example of a major early‑20th‑century roller flour mill, and a cornerstone of Sunshine’s transformation into a planned “garden industrial suburb.” These photographs capture the John Darling & Son Flour Mills when they had the stainless-steel silos which have been subsequently demolished. They also capture the Albion Railway Station and its carpark.John Darling Flour Mills Albion 36.1john darling and sons flour mill, flur mills, albion railway station, sydney street, albion, goodman fielder
