04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Two storeys of brown brick rise against a flat blue sky. White PVC pipes climb the facade, bolted to the masonry at intervals. Paint peels from the cream render between floors. Windows sit empty, glass long gone. A rusted cylindrical storage tank stands to the right. Weeds push through cracked concrete at the base of the walls. Debris collects in the loading area. No movement. Hard midday light.

Peters Ice Cream Factory

2016 · 31 photographs

Peters Ice Cream Factory opened on 4 November 1939 on the bank of the Manning River at Chatham, a suburb of Taree. The opening drew approximately 5,000 people. Peters Creameries built the plant for around £60,000, with a steam-driven capacity of 1,000 gallons of milk per hour and a boiler house running four Babcock and Wilcox boilers. Cream was delivered by boat from farms along the Manning River for four decades, a trade that ran until around the 1970s. The factory made ice cream, butter, milk powder, oil, and yoghurt, and was the main employer in the Manning Valley until it closed in the late 1990s. The building still stands at Chatham, deteriorating. Listed in 1990 on the local heritage register (Greater Taree, now MidCoast Council).
