Historical information

A colour photograph of a sawdust bin/loading hopper at J.L. Goulds Sawmill in Sunds Road Marysville. Elevated high on heavy timber stilts, these specialised storage silos feature a sloped funnel bottom designed to hold loose, bulk material like sawdust, wood shavings, or woodchips. The elevated clearance allowed trucks to drive directly underneath, open the hatch gates, and gravity-load the waste material quickly for transport.
