Horse drawn wagons in Bowman Street turn into Jones Street. The former Colonial Sugar Refinery dominates the scene, there is still a little open area here named Refinery Square. Johnstons Bay is nearby. (Sydney City Council archive)
"After
World War II, most industries in Pyrmont-Ultimo either ceased operating or moved to other locations, and in the 1980s CSR began investigating the benefits of relocating from Pyrmont. This was put into effect in the early 1990s, and by 1995 the Pyrmont refinery was closed, and the site was sold to the development company
Lend Lease in 1996."
