Redfern railway station

full record »

Railway station in Redfern, originally known as Eveleigh Station. Sydney's original terminating railway stations, both known as Redfern due to their proximity to the suburb, were replaced by Central Station which opened in 1906.

Redfern

Inner-city suburb located immediately south of the central business district whose sandhills were first settled by Chinese market gardeners and later by Aboriginal people who migrated to work in the local factories. Today it is a rich blend of public housing, renovated terraces, light industry and arts precincts.
