04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A former workers old radio on one at the work benches. This would have helped speed up many a work day.

Abandoned Shoe Factory

2012 · 12 photographs

Shoe manufacturing began in two small buildings on Eastment Street, Northcote, before the company purchased corner land at Arthurton Road and Helen Street in 1926 and built a purpose-built factory at 13-15 Arthurton Road. By the 1970s the operation was trading as the Purnell Shoe Company; a pair of brown lace-up shoes in their original Purnell-branded cardboard box from that period sits in the State Library of Victoria's collection as call YLTTEX 198. The factory closed during the contraction of the Australian footwear industry in the 1980s and 1990s, and the site was demolished and consolidated into Lot 102 PS722836, redeveloped as a unit complex from 2016.
