| Registered Name |
Front Fence, adjacent to Chief Mechanical Engineer's Office, Islington Railway Workshops |
| Significance |
As part of the setting for the Chief Mechanical Engineer's (CME's) Office this substantial cast-iron fence contributes to the visual importance of the main administration building when viewed from the roadway. It emphasises the architectural formality of the CME's Office whilst creating a sense of separation and a degree of security appropriate to the office of the senior management of the Islington Railway Workshops. The fence defines an important section of the eastern boundary of the site, providing an impressive 'showpiece' entry point for official visitors in contrast to the more rudimentary gateway which served the ordinary workers. In its style and materials the fence complements the CME's Office, and it is likely that it was constructed around the same time, c1891. The fence is an integral element of the site and enhances the architectural and aesthetic qualities of the CME's office itself as the central administrative building on the large Islington Workshops site. |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
