The series
Abandoned Shoe Factory
Abandoned Shoe Factory was the Northcote Shoe Factory at 13-15 Arthurton Road, Northcote, on the corner of Arthurton Road and Helen Street. The operation began earlier in two small buildings on Eastment Street before the company purchased the corner land and built a new purpose-built factory in 1926. By the 1970s the factory was running under the name Purnell Shoe Company. The Australian footwear industry contracted sharply through the 1980s and 1990s under cheap imports, and this is one of the many small and mid-sized manufacturers that closed during that period. The Lost Collective photographs were made in 2011, early in the project, and document the production floor in its abandoned state with the press levers, machinery, and waste bins still in place.
