Redfern (inhabited place)
Found in 15 Collections and/or Records:
Botany Street, Redfern, 1870 - 1879
267 x 201 mm. View of a group of shops on Botany Street. At the left is the Stirling Castle Hotel, followed by J.M. Canty, ironmongers; Hankin and Nicoll, boot and shoe warehouse; (?) W.H. Noon; The Live and Let Live public house; and one further small unidentified shop.
Cleveland Road, Redfern, 1870 - 1879
267 x 212 mm. View of a mixed group of domestic residences on Cleveland Street. The house-types vary between thin two storey houses with verandahs on both floors to wood-frame bungalows with dormer windows. From the alternating disposition of these buildings it would appear that the bungalows were built between the verandahed houses on land originally belonging to the latter.
Cleveland Street West, Redfern, 1870 - 1879
285 x 205 mm. View looking along Cleveland Street, with Edward Bennett's pawnbroking establishment in the left foreground. Further along the street Alfred Lee's Royal Standard Hotel stands at the junction with Woodburn Street.
Eveleigh Running Sheds, 1872 - 1895
345 x 262 mm. A view of the Eveleigh locomotive building works, with an engine outside on the point of entering one of the bays. With the extension of lines it was found that the Sydney terminal could not cope with both maintaining the locomotives and running services. The need for a new building was felt as early as 1875, and shortly afterwards John Whitton presented plans for the new running-sheds, which were built on a 62 acre site purchased by the Government at Redfern.
Eveleigh Running Sheds, 1887
346 x 262 mm. A front view of the running sheds, showing the entrance to the 21 engine bays.
