03 THE STORY

About this print

A rusted barrier blocks an internal doorway inside Bradmill, Yarraville. The barrier is welded steel mesh, fixed to the doorframe across the full width of the opening. The wall around the doorway is plastered and painted, the paint peeling back to bare plaster in patches. Dust has settled across the barrier and the threshold of the doorway. Beyond, the room is dark.

Bradmill at Yarraville sat dormant for around two decades after the early-2000s receivership and around-2002 shutdown. No-entry signage and barriers accumulated across the site during the dormant years as the building moved from working factory through abandonment toward redevelopment. The site is currently being redeveloped as Bradmill Yarraville by Frasers Property Australia and Irongate, with some industrial fabric retained in the masterplan.

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.
