It's annoying how in the 'old days' places were known either by name, suburb or street only with no number 'cos everyonenwould knowmwhere things were. Otherwise I could tell you where they used to be and/or what goes on there now and/or when things changed.
Both Lonsdale St, Braddon (Canberra) and North Rocks Rd Parramatta (Sydney) were commercial/light industrial areas.
North Rocks Rd was close to where I grew up. I still occasionally drive up it when I visit Sydney. I assume the factory was 'down the bottom' near where the United Dairies depot was.
Lonsdales St is now a favourite haunt of mine having been redeveloped into a nice cafe/eatery zone.
