Summary

[General description] This is a complex of stone buildings with men at at work in the process of wool washing. The River Torrens had been dammed into several smaller ponds for the cleaning of the wool, then bales were washed and dried before being shipped. The business was later taken over by G.H. Michell around 1900. [On back of photograph] 'Peacock's wool Scouring works, Hindmarsh / 188-'.
