its worn floorboards gathering dust beneath paint that has peeled back in sheets

which ran from 1902 until cement production stopped in November 1991

rusting hinges still fixed to their weathered faces

and empty shelves sit under a coat of dust in the production packaging room of Peters Creameries Pty Ltd's Chatham factory

Timber Feed Trough warehouse its worn floorboards gathering dustA long timber feed trough runs the length of a weathered shed wall at Mill Pond Farm, its boards bleached grey above a stone and earth floor scattered with straw. Corrugated iron lines the gabled roof overhead. The shed is among the oldest surviving outbuildings on a property that has been working pastoral land since the 1830s. Part of the Mill Pond Farm series.
