A Bendigo man has found a pile of historic photos from the old Bendigo Ordnance Factory hidden away in the back of his shed.
The man wanted to remain anonymous and was unsure what time period the pictures were taken.
He asked the Bendigo Advertiser to publish the pictures for readers to enjoy and then donate them to the Bendigo Historical Society for safe keeping.
