We used to make things in this country #340 Regent oil refining.


 Oil refining was an industry in Port Credit starting in 1932, when The Port Credit Brick Works sold a portion of their land to Lloyd's Tankers to build a refinery. The site had several owners over the years till an arsonist set fire to the works in 1978, closing the facility. The site operated as Regent Refining from 1946 till 1955. History here.
