04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A narrow corridor runs between concrete block pillars and a row of louvred glass windows. Grit and rubble cover the floor. The concrete lip in the foreground has crumbled, exposing coarse aggregate beneath the render. Light enters from the right, catching dust on the window frames. A doorway stands open at the far end. The ceiling panels sag between steel runners.

Alfred Felton and Frederick Grimwade founded the Melbourne Glass Bottle Works in 1872 at Graham Street, Emerald Hill, to supply their wholesale drug business. In 1890 the company purchased 12 acres on the Yarra at Spotswood and built the new manufacturing plant that would carry on glass production for over a hundred years, through Australian Glass Manufacturers, Australian Consolidated Industries, BTR and Owens-Illinois. The site was demolished by 2012, with only the 115-metre basalt wall on Douglas Parade, known to the workers as the Great Wall of Spotswood, left standing.
