Adelaide Fruit and Produce Exchange

The striking facade from Adelaide’s private produce market in the north east corner of the city remains a city landmark, though the market itself no longer operates.

Colonial Sugar Refinery, Glanville

The Colonial Sugar Refinery (CSR) complex was constructed in 1891 on the Glanville side of the Port River, immediately opposite Port Adelaide. During a century of operation, it manufactured refined sugar, treacle and golden syrup, primarily for markets in South Australia and Western Australia. The refinery was virtually destroyed by fire in 1926, but largely rebuilt within six months. During the latter half of the twentieth century, its buildings became an iconic aspect of the Port’s waterfront landscape and were popular subjects for contemporary artists and photographers.
