| Significance |
The South Australian railways were fundamental to the history and development of South Australia. After their establishment in 1883, these workshops played a fundamental role in the operation and development of the railways. Also, at the time of its establishment in 1883 and after its rejuvenation in 1925-27, this complex was amongst the most significant industrial complexes in South Australia and responsible for the production of large and complicated machinery. The workshops played a particularly important role in producing war materials during World War II. The alterations to the complex from time to time reflected those affecting the railways generally. |
