Freezing Works
The Western and Wimmera Districts Freezing Company opened their freezing plat at North Shore in 1896 for the preparation of frozen meat for export to England. The first shipment was on the steamer 'Gulf of Bothnia' in September 1896.
A rail connection was provided to the site in 1899. The points faced Down trains and were secured by Staff lock. The siding was 1/2 mile long, falling downgrade towards the buffers. A loop siding was provided beyond the unloading gates.
The plant itself was sold only five years after opening, and it is believed the plant had closed by the late 1920s.
