Provenance and SignifcanceThe Illawarra Cooperative Central Dairy Co. Ltd factory was built beside the railway line at Albion Park Rail on land provided by G L Fuller. The formal opening of the I.C.C.D.Co. Ltd. was held on the 27th September 1899. C W Wood was appointed manager, and H R Hobart the engineer. Two steam engines drove the machinery and the refrigerating plant.
