This is a photograph of the Islington Railway Workshops. First established in 1883, it was the chief railway workshop of the South Australian Railways. The railway workshops located in Adelaide, South Australia, and are still in operation today.

As part of William Webb's revitalisation of the railways, the workshops were expanded in the 1920s. During World War II, the Workshops were involved in the construction of a number of armoured vehicles for the Australian Imperial Force, most notably the LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP4 series of armoured cars, based on Ford chassis; and the LP1 and LP2 Universal (Bren Gun) carriers.

In 2012, the site was given provisional listing as a heritage site. Located in Adelaide's northern suburbs, the workshops built many of the locomotives and items of rolling stock that served the South Australian Railways.
