Swallow and Ariell Factory

This photo shows the Swallow and Ariell Factory complex, looking down Rose Street, 1979. This factory remains relatively intact externally, and standing here you can see how it has now been turned into apartments. The three storey block on the corner of Rouse and Stokes Streets was built in 1858, with wings stretching along both streets added in the late nineteenth century century. You can see some of the later factory buildings poking out from behind in this image, which have now been removed to create a central courtyard for apartment residents.
