CSR Refinery, Yarraville, Sugar refinery in Yarraville, Australia
The CSR Refinery complex encompasses buildings from three periods, featuring a five-storey pan house overlooking the sugar wharf on the Maribyrnong River.
Established in 1872, the Colonial Sugar Refining Company built this facility to process raw materials into finished sugar products due to sea transportation concerns.
The Victorian-era industrial architecture of the refinery reflects the manufacturing practices of the period through its bluestone and brick construction methods.
The facility produces 240,000 tonnes of refined sugar annually, manufacturing various products including liquid sugar, golden syrup, treacle, and brown sugar.
The 1880s Golden Syrup and Treacle Packing Store contains an original CSR-designed filling machine that demonstrates early industrial innovation.
