Connollys Mill, Heritage flour mill in Goulburn, Australia.
Connollys Mill is a four-story brick and cement building in Goulburn at the corner of Sloane and Goldsmith Streets with a distinctive corner tower. A railway platform access allowed grain and flour to be transported in and out.
The building opened as a public bath in 1892, then transformed into a flour mill in 1908 when William Connolly Ltd purchased it. This shift shows how Goulburn changed from a town focused on leisure to one driven by industry.
The building shows how Goulburn changed in the early 1900s when public facilities were repurposed and industry grew. Visitors can still notice traces of this shift in the architecture and the location near the railway.
The building sits at a street corner and is visible from the sidewalk, giving you a good view of the architecture. Its location near the railway station makes it easy to reach.
Remnants of the original swimming baths remain preserved beneath the building's current floorboards. This hidden history shows how complete the transformation was while traces of the past were protected.
