I've just come to learn that the old Scott Bonnar original Factory located on the corner of Chapel Street and Port Road is set for demolition. It currently is occupied by Metro Holden which is about to go under the hammer and broken up in the rationalisation of Holden dealers around Australia.
The land has allegedly already been sold and the current building of which the original SB premises were housed in can be still clearly seen down the side of the showroom facade if you look at the screen shot below. There is also a basement underneath the old section which has been disguised in with the modern frontage.
Apparently new high rise apartments are to be built all along the Port Road frontage down to the "Southwark Brewery" in the next few years. Yes Coca Cola a few doors down is also set to be demolished when they move out in 2 years time.
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
