This chimney stack is located on the corner of Potter Street and Gadigal Avenue, in the inner city suburb of Waterloo. This part of the suburb has undergone gentrification in recent years with high rise apartments, shops, cafes and landscaped public spaces replacing many industrial and warehouse buildings. The stack has been retained as a reminder of that industrial past.
And a nice reminder it is.
ReplyDeleteimpressive...usually the first thing to be torn down are the stacks!
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite incongruous there, Jim. Like some latter day obelisk commemorating a different past.
ReplyDeleteIt is always interesting to know of the stacks around the place have a past or present purpose.
ReplyDeleteAt least it's no longer billowing smoke that would obscure that gorgeous blue sky!

A sentinel against the bluest of blue skies
ReplyDeleteHi there - do you know what the 'stack' was used for before it became a bit of street art?

Stewart, I think the stack was part of the former ACI Glassworks but I'm not certain.
ReplyDeleteInteresting contrast you have captured here Jim.
