Administration Office rubbish A coiled hose reel sitsDesks, chairs, and scattered papers remain in the administration office of Peters Creameries Pty Ltd's Chatham factory, untouched since the plant closed in the late 1990s. Dust coats every surface. The office once coordinated a steam driven dairy plant that opened in 1939 with a capacity for 70 to 80 workers across three shifts. Part of the Peters' Ice Cream Factory series.
