Hi all.
Today I visited the remains of the former Randwick tramway workshops only to
find one of the original Steam Tram running sheds being demolished. The shed
is the one with the arched windows. It was built in the early 1880s and
became
an oxywelding shed for the electric trams. I thought it would have been
heritage listed.
The workshops are now only a shadow of its former self.
