“FALSE CREEK SOUTH

Limited access initially restricted industrial development but by 1886 the first sawmill, Leamey and Kyle's, began operation north of Yukon Street. Other industries including shingle mills, breweries, slaughterhouses and metal works followed. Visible blight and pollution led to re-development in the 1960's.”
