A Brisbane architectural historian has captured rare photos of a decommissioned textile factory which has been left abandoned in Salisbury since the 90’s.

The photos revealed a building stuck in time, with fabric still fed through the machines.

The building’s caretaker, Scott Thompson, says the factory, which dates back to World War II, is at risk of vandalism and scrap hunters, who have removed panelling to enter the building, exposing deadly asbestos in the process.

The future of the site is unknown, with Council revealing there are no current development plans for the site.
