- Glebe Island Bridge, 1873
Product Description
Completed in December 1861, the Glebe Island Bridge connected the city to the Edmund Blacket designed stone buildings of Glebe Island Abattoirs. Not surprisingly, Glebe and Balmain residents complained constantly of the smell and the abattoir featured prominently in the 1882 Royal Commission into noxious and offensive trades. The government banned the boiling down of offal in 1883 and eventually the abattoirs were moved to Homebush.
