Fire damage to the Woolworths store at Warringah Mall, Brookvale, 1973

Main

Record numberLH014807Date1973DescriptionExtensive destruction following the 1973 Warringah Shopping Mall tragedy, where a fire engulfed the multi-storey Woolworths at Warringah Mall in Brookvale. The image shows collapsed and twisted corrugated metal roofing strewn across the site, with large sections of the building reduced to rubble. Debris covers the ground, and structural remnants lean precariously amid the wreckage. In the background, the David Jones department store remains intact, and a tall Woolworths sign is visible above the complex. This scene captures the severe impact of the fire on the shopping centre
