Halifax Street, Adelaide
View of Halifax Street facing east between King William and Pulteney streets.
Halifax Street is a street in the south-eastern sector of the centre of Adelaide, South Australia.[1][2] It runs east-west between East Terrace and King William Street, crossing Hutt Street and Pulteney Street and passing through Hurtle Square.[1][2] It was named after Sir Charles Wood (later Charles Wood, 1st Viscount Halifax), British Member of Parliament for Halifax.[3]
A local landmark, this 35-metre chimney on Halifax Street was built in 1909 and is what remains of a refuse incinerator that consumed the bulk of the city's rubbish until its closure in the early 1950s, its function being replaced by landfill.[4]
