Chippendale
Beneath the Factory Wall
Where William Chippendale grew potatoes in 1816 by the sweet waters of Blackwattle Creek, one of Sydney's least loved industrial inner suburbs became the home of downtrodden generations. Factories turned out sugar and shoes, beer and lollies. Floods repeatedly washed putrid mud into the unsewered slums.
