03 THE STORY

About this print

The No Entry sign at the steel gate marked the point where the compound of the former Bradmill site could be entered from the street side. Beyond the gate, a service lane ran between the brick and corrugated iron walls of the factory buildings. The signs and fences from the operational period remained in position after the factory closed in the early 2000s. An orange traffic cone sat on a rusted crossbar. The concrete around the gate was wet and cracked, the lane quiet with the kind of stillness that settles over an industrial site when work stops permanently.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A scuffed No Entry sign hangs from a steel gate at the Bradmill compound. Behind it, a narrow lane runs between red brick walls and corrugated iron cladding. An orange traffic cone sits on a rusted crossbar. The concrete is wet, cracked, stained dark with grime. Weeds push through the joints. Litter collects against the base of the buildings. Overcast light flattens everything.

The Bradford family founded Bradford Cotton Mills in Sydney in 1927. The company expanded into Victoria in 1940, began producing denim in 1945, and grew into Bradmill Industries Ltd. The Yarraville factory on Francis Street was the country's only indigo denim mill.
