Chippendale, brewery (Theme Day: Under Construction)

The former Carlton and United brewery in the inner city suburb of Chippendale has partly been demolished and a redevelopment is currently under construction. Some of the heritage buildings and the stack have been retained and will be incorporated in the mixed purpose development. The 5.8 hectare Central Park site will contain a mix of residential, commercial and public spaces. A temporary artwork has been erected on one of these buildings, featuring the faces of former brewery workers and residents.

    Well, that should make for an interesting development, Jim. I'd be curious about the residential part, as I'm always interested in residential re-purposing.
    Great photo, as always.

    I poured over the plans for this when they were released and they are very exciting. It is such a pivotal location within the city boundary. I do hope the new government revitalises the redevelopment. It all comes down to those contentious planning laws I suppose.

    What an impressive mean to measure time.

    Please have a good new month.

    We are playing snap, aren't we. They don't seem to have advanced very much in the past year.

    I would say that a well designed brewery was more important to Australian history and culture than an opera house :)

    I used to live around the corner from the brewery, and took a tour through it when it was still operating. Glad to see some of the structure is being retained - it was such a big part of the local community.

    Can't wait to see what it looks like finished Jim, so glad they at least kept some of the old features.

    An interesting shot, sort of destruction and construction all in one.
