Once a WWII munitions factory and later the largest employer in the region as Rutherford Textiles, it provided thousands of jobs for decades. The site is also linked to the Rutherford Racecourse and aviation pioneer Bert Hinkler. Bradmill Industries, which operated there until 2000, marked a significant chapter in local industrial history, now concluding with this demolition.
