Laboratory Wall Colour:N/A catching suspended dust above surfacesA laboratory wall inside the former Peters Creameries factory at Chatham, its paint peeling back in layers that chart decades of disuse. The factory opened in November 1939 and operated as a steam driven dairy processing plant until the late 1990s, when corporate rationalisation under successive owners ended production at the site. Part of the Peters' Ice Cream Factory series.
