Alexandria Cannery
The Alexandria Cannery, named after the owner’s daughter, was built in 1904 by the Alexandria Canning Company, operated by Alexander Ewan. After changing hands a number of times, the cannery ran until 1915. The name was later changed to Alexandra Cannery.
I could find no photographs of the cannery.
