Sydney Photo Friday: Mortuary Station
Despite spending plenty of time around Central Station, I’m afraid I’ve never noticed Mortuary Station which sits close by. Apparently between 1869 and 1937, trains left this station and traveled to Rockwood Necropolis cemetery.
But soon a time came that people preferred to drive the relatively short distance, and the line was cancelled. The State Rail Authority recently restored this beautiful building, but it doesn’t have a job as yet.
I’d love to see it become a funky café, or even an information centre. Do you have any other ideas?
