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
