Historical information

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.”

Significance

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.
