In 1939 the Commonwealth began building the Hendon small arms munition factory on the site of the former Albert Park Aerodrome. The factory was served by a spur railway line (closed Feb 1980, track removed, now a section of West Lakes Boulevard). Philips Electrical Industries took over the 80-acre site in 1947. In 1970s after Philips transferred to Victoria, the site was named Hendon Industrial Park. Some buildings were used by the SA Film Corporation from early 1980s until 2011. Many wartime buildings are still in use, now as warehouses. Harry Butler & his partner, Harry Kauper, had established an aerodrome at Albert Park to offer flights to the general public in a two-passenger bi-plane. An adjacent housing development was named Hendon. The partnership, Butler-Kauper Aviation Co, was dissolved Sep 1921 and Butler returned to Minlaton. The aerodrome was used by the government as the Adelaide Airport until the move to Parafield in 1927.
“A surveyor has begun the preliminary detailed work for the £100,000 small arms ammunition factory to be established by the Commonwealth Government at Albert Park. It is expected that tenders for the construction will be called within a few weeks. The property occupies 69 acres and the factory will comprise one large workshop and about a dozen subsidiary buildings.” [News 14 Nov 1939]
“Because of the need for precautions against prying eyes, a guard room and fencing to keep unauthorised people out of the premises will be the first contracts let in preparation for the ammunition factory at Hendon.” [News 4 Dec 1939]
“Recently the Woodville Council asked the Commonwealth Government to supply plans and particulars of the work to be undertaken at the small arms factory at Hendon, near Albert Park, as required by the Building Act. The Acting Minister for Supply and Development (Mr. Stewart) has now advised the council. . . that it was not desirable in public interest to release the plans of the factory or to indicate precisely the products to be manufactured there.” [Advertiser 24 Jan 1940]
“The Defence Department, however, is building a small arms factory at Hendon. And it is expected that this plant will be in production by next September.” [Advertiser 6 Feb 1940]
“More than 40 South Australian men and women operatives have been sent to Melbourne for experience in munition work to fit them for key positions at the new ammunition factory at Hendon. The second group of 20 trainees left Adelaide this week and will begin work at Footscray smallarms ammunition factory on Monday.” [News 6 Jul 1940]
“A limited amount of work in drawing out cartridge and bullet cases has begun this week in the Commonwealth munition works at Hendon. This factory will undertake the complete manufacture of .303 (Mark VII.) cartridges for rifles and machine guns. This type of ammunition is used also in fighter aircraft. Buildings are still being erected, and only a small percentage of the machinery has been installed.” [Advertiser 24 Aug 1940]
“The first unit of the new small arms ammunition factory at Hendon, South Australia, would begin production next month, and preliminary operations had begun already. When in fun production the two Hendon units would employ from 2,000 to 2,500 people.” [Advertiser 26 Aug 1940]
“In addition to railway tracks already laid, a line will link the Cheltenham works to the present Port Adelaide-Dry Creek route. . . As there is already a rail link from the case factory to Woodville, and another from Albert Park to Hendon, interlocking railway communication will be complete,” [News 19 Dec 1940]
“More than half the 864 girls and women engaged in munition work at Hendon were previously in domestic service, and a minority formerly worked in factories. . . Since the shifts have been arranged to co-operate with the train, tram, and bus services, the housing problem has been eased considerably. When the number comes up to the proposed full strength of 2,000, then the housing will require some thinking out. . . The number of workers has increased in the last few weeks since the age limit was reduced to 16 and increased to 40, and more country girls are being: attracted to the work.” [The Mail 8 Feb 1941]
“Not many months ago the site of the factory was covered with boxthorn and ugly scrub. Today well-kept lawns border concrete-surfaced roads and paths and solidly constructed modern buildings. . . Men who are responsible for the tools and mechanical side of the machines are in the minority with the blue uniformed girls, most of whom had no previous experience of machine work. . . One of the experiments being carried out now is to put some of the girls into overalls with trousers, as it has been found that they get their stockings splashed with oil when wearing the frock type of overall.” [News 16 Jul 1941]
“the Hendon munition factory, that neat, attractive, well-set-out group of red and grey buildings among concrete ways and green lawns, which serve the double purpose of stilling the dust and pleasing the eye — the whole an amazing mushroom growth from the open field of 18 months ago. . . several of them as they worked at the machines — feeding them with those small sections of brass or nickel, lead or aluminium, which go to the making of millions of bullets for our fighting services. . . There are two of these large bullet case-making factories at Hendon, and then there is the final department — the ‘clean area’, when cigarettes and matches are left behind, and when outsize special shoes must cover normal footwear — where the explosive is placed in the cases. Here, again, girls are to be found working quietly and efficiently. In these filling rooms they all wear woollen clothes as one of the many precautions against possible fire.” [Advertiser 17 Jul 1941 p 4]
“Except for boxthorn and weeds, the factory site — part of the old Hendon aerodrome — was idle and bare when the war started in 1939. . . first in the main work-shop where the brass is pressed and drawn and gradually moulded into the proper cartridge shape, and where bullets are formed from separate pieces of nickel, aluminium and lead: and secondly, in the 'clean' separated shops where brass cases are partly filled with cordite and the insertion of the bullet makes the cartridge complete. . . bullets made at Hendon have been spraying from the machine guns of Spitfires and Hurricanes.” [Advertiser 17 Jul 1941 p 6]
“The social club is making a big effort this month to raise £315 for the endowment of a cot at the Adelaide Children's Hospital. More than £100 has already been raised, with nearly half of that sum as proceeds from the sale of 2,000 copies of the ‘Hendon Howl’, a chatty newspaper of munition workers' doings.” [News 4 Jun 1942]
“Hendon smallarms ammunition factory would cease production shortly, the Minister for Munitions (Mr. Makin) announced in Adelaide last night. At the same time, however, production at the Finsbury and Salisbury factories would be speeded up. . . Since its inception in 1940, the Hendon factory had produced 650 million rounds of small-arms ammunition, and had had an exceptionally low percentage of rejections. . . the termination of production at Hendon would be gradual. It was expected that by the end of the year it would no longer be required for munitions purposes. In the meantime, a section of the factory had been made available for rehabilitation training purposes, and the Secondary Industries Commission was negotiating for the establishment of an industry there in the post-war-period.” [News 23 Jul 1945]
“Hendon's future is already decided. It is to become the Australian production centre of Philips Electrical Industries.” [Advertiser 6 Apr 1946]
“The whole of the vast Hendon plant, which covers an area of 80 acres, has been taken over by Philips Electrical Industries.” [Advertiser 6 Dec 1947]
“Eight years ago, an Australian branch of the world's largest electronics firm undertook what must have been the biggest move in Australia's industrial history. Having decided that South Australia offered everything a modern industry needed, the management of Philips Electrical Industries of Australia Ltd. Uprooted its three New South Wales plants and moved to Hendon. . . The factory now employs 1,000 — a half men, and a half girls — in one of the most up-to-date plants in the Commonwealth.” [News 28 Jul 1954]
OSTRICH FARM
Before Harry Butler established his aerodrome, the land had earlier been used for an ostrich farm.
“There was a large number of visitors at Albert Park on Sunday afternoon to see the ostriches which are in Mr. Cave's paddock there. The birds appear to have quite recovered from the effects of sea-voyaging, and many show a very great improvement in plumage.” [Advertiser 11 Jun 1883]
“Albert Park Ostrich Farm. . . over eighty acres, and is divided into paddocks suitable for the birds. . . In one paddock of about an acre there are two very fine birds in excellent order, and at the time of inspection there were fifteen eggs in the nest. In another paddock was a splendid pair of birds which were worth a fabulous price as parents, and in another large enclosure were two broods of home-bred creatures, the first six being so far grown as to be over six feet high in the clear, and the second brood of six being considerably more than half-grown.” [Register 4 Aug 1884]
“The Albert Park estate is primarily an ostrich farm, but there are other animals to be seen there in the shape of four camels. These animals were born on board one of the steamers recently arrived from India, but, being two [sic] young to attempt the journey to the northward, Mr. Cave hit upon the idea of rearing them by hand. . . has succeeded in rearing the whole four of the camels, which are now fine upstanding animals. They appear tractable and docile, and the experiment of artificial rearing seems to have been a complete success.” [Advertiser 4 Aug 1884]
“The loss of feathers by the ostriches on Mr. W. B. Cave's farm at Albert Park. . . caused by the moulting of the birds. . . Daring the last few days two or three of the ostriches have been noticed to cast off feathers, and on close examination buds of new feathers were seen on the skin.” [Advertiser 22 Oct 1884]
“Mr. W. R. Cave has at his office, Port Adelaide, some very fine feathers, taken from an ostrich at the farm, Albert Park, on Friday. The collection comprises thirty pinion feathers and nearly a pound weight of byocks*, besides some black body samples. Mr. George Wilson, who has had a long experience of ostrich farming in Africa, and who cut and plucked the feathers, pronounces them a superior lot, and values the pinion feathers at from 15s. to 20s. each in their undressed state. They are well shaped, with long staple, and without blemish.” [Register 6 Dec 1884]
*byock = black and white wing-feather from a cock ostrich
“The birds at the Albert Park Farm, which are in excellent condition, now number thirty-six, and are all in good feather. The fifteen months' chickens are rapidly improving, and one of the old hens is at present sitting on twenty-six eggs. The feathers from one of the mature ostriches at a recent sale brought £13, and those of the younger birds were quitted at 4s. 6d. each. Altogether there is every prospect of the farm proving a success.” [Register 9 Apr1885]
“Mr. W. R. Cave on Sunday transferred his ostriches from Albert Park to his farm at Dublin. Sunday was selected so as to secure the road being free from traffic. Seven horsemen under the personal supervision of Mr. Cave were engaged for the undertaking, and it took them from 7 o'clock in the morning till 8 in the evening to accomplish the journey, a distance of 13 miles. The birds were driven because on a previous occasion ten were killed in conveying a flock by vehicles. . . the ostriches had increased so rapidly that a larger run had to be found for them.” [Evening Journal 10 Aug 1886]

Designed by Hermann Klemm and introduced in 1956 (USA), by which time Ferguson had merged with Massey Harris the TO35 was marketed under the Ferguson name. The new Ferguson 35 was launched in the United States on 5 January 1955 and 1956 in the UK, at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. The FE35 was a successor to the Ferguson TE20, which ceased production in the same year. Whilst the TE20 had been an all-grey tractor (earning it the nickname Little Grey Fergie), the FE35 had a grey shell and wheels, but a bronze finish for the body. Three types were built; agricultural, industrial and vineyard. In 1957, after 73,655 units had been produced, the tractor was rebadged as the MF35, and the colour scheme was changed to red and grey. In 1959 Massey Ferguson purchased Perkins Engines, and began using a new diesel Perkins engine in the MF35
Power came from a 50,5 hp 4 cylinder Perkins engine with inboard disc brakes and optional differential lock and power steering. An improved Mk.2 was introduced at the 1960 Smithfield show, with a power increase to 56.8 hp diff-lock was now standard and road lights became available as an option. in 1962 a factory fitted twelve forward and four reverse gear Multi-Power box became available as a £ 70 option

The Grimsby Ice Company was founded in the 19th century. Its purpose was to bring back natural ice from Norway in order to keep the catch of fish fresh.
The Ice House was built in 1900 and closed in 1990. The red brick building consisted of two factories separated by a passage. At its prime it produced 1,270 metric tons of ice every 24 hours. Water was taken from local bore holes and placed in moulds containing brine. When the ice was required conveyer belts took the three-hundred weight blocks to a crusher. The crushed ice was then taken by another conveyer belt to the quay side where it was dropped into the fish room of the trawlers via a chute. At a later stage cement mixers were converted to deliver the ice.

My friend has a recurring nightmare where he finds himself in a world where people are manufactured in factories and packed in tin cans. I shudder to think of such a world.
