The rear mezzanine of the abandoned bakery stands still. Dust coats the floor and forgotten equipment, where light struggles through grimy windows. Peeling paint reveals layers of past activity, now silent.

The series
Abandoned Bakery (ABBCO Bakery)
ABBCO Bakery ran at 7 Darley Road, Leichhardt, on the inner-west fringe of Sydney. The site was on the original 1811 Macquarie Gift land grant to Ensign Hugh Piper, adjacent to the former Goods Line freight rail corridor between Sydney Yard and Darling Harbour. Built around 1950, the bakery was, by the early 1970s, the largest independent bakery in Australia. Director and part-owner Bill McLeod ran it with his brother and sister, baking 100 types of bread for distribution across Sydney through ABBCO's own 22 retail shops and through wholesale outlets. The site later passed through State Rail and Goodman Fielder ownership and had brief lives as a limousine hire and furniture manufacturer before falling out of use. The Lost Collective photographs were made during its abandoned period. The bakery has since been demolished. A Dan Murphy's now stands on the site.
