Sunshine and District Historical Society IncorporatedPhotograph - Whitten Bridge Construction Sunshine North, The Advocate, 1993
... ...C. McGee...Photograph Whitten Bridge Construction Sunshine North The Advocate C. McGee ...The Whitten Bridge, originally called the Maribyrnong River Bridge was built between 1992 and 1994. The purpose of the bridge was to carry the newly built Western Ring Road (now the M80) across the Maribyrnong River at Sunshine North. The bridge is named after Edward James “Ted” Whitten OAM, better known as Ted Whitten or by his nickname "Mr Football", one of the most iconic figures in Australian Rules Football.These photographs show the original configuration of the roadway, which consisted of two separate structures: a Northbound Bridge and a Southbound Bridge. In 2018, as part of the M80 widening project, the two bridges were stitched together to form a single, unified structure. This upgrade increased capacity from three lanes to five lanes in each direction.5670.01 - Whitten Bridge Construction (Sun Adv 506.2) 1993 Photo 01.JPG 5670.02 - Whitten Bridge Construction (Sun Adv 506.2) 1993 Photo 02.JPG 5670.03 - Whitten Bridge Construction (Sun Adv 506.2) 1993 Photo 03.JPG 5670.04 - Whitten Bridge Construction (Sun Adv 506.2) 1993 Photo 04.JPGwhitten bridge, sunshine north, western ring road, maribyrnong river bridge, m80 -

Warrnambool and District Historical Society Inc.Bottle, Sheldricks Beer Bottle - Green with tag, Early 20th century
... In 1894 it was sold to William McGee and Company and in 1922 the brewery closed when the Ballarat, Melbourne Co-operative and Carlton and United Breweries took over the business....In 1894 it was sold to William McGee and Company and in 1922 the brewery closed when the Ballarat, Melbourne Co-operative and Carlton and United Breweries took over the business. ...This bottle was found under a building some years ago (Hand’s tobacconist shop, Liebig Street, Warrnambool). It is believed to be a beer bottle from the Warrnambool brewery of Sheldrick and Co. In 1868 Walter Sheldrick formed a company and established the New Brewery at the corner of Timor and Fairy Streets, Warrnambool. Two of the original directors, Walter Sheldrick and Thomas Price, took over the business under the title of Sheldrick and Co. When Walter Sheldrick died in 1876 Richard Sheldrick succeeded his father in the business. In the early 1890s Richard Sheldrick sold out and by 1892 a group of Warrnambool businessmen was operating the brewery. In 1894 it was sold to William McGee and Company and in 1922 the brewery closed when the Ballarat, Melbourne Co-operative and Carlton and United Breweries took over the business.This bottle is of interest as an example of a beer bottle from Sheldrick’s New Brewery. This brewery was prominent in Warrnambool for over 50 years. This is a green glass beer bottle with a rounded body and a heavily indented base producing an inverted hump inside the bottom of the bottle. The neck is rounded with a moulded glass top. There is no stopper. There are no markings on the bottle.walter and richard sheldrick, warrnambool, sheldrick’s new brewery. warrnambool, breweries in warrnambool, history of warrnambool -
