The Rockdale Fire Station at 41 Bay Street, Rockdale replaced an earlier station just around the corner on the Princes Highway. That station was built in 1897 by the Fire Brigades Board. The earlier Arncliffe Fire Station opened in 1909 on Forest Road did not close until 1945. The Rockdale Bay Street station was replaced by the modern Arncliffe Fire Station.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janette. I've corrected the Arncliffe fire station and Rockdale fire station posts. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThis was a disability service for quite some time. Now the owners of the building have had a DA approved to bulldoze it.. such a shame to lose part of Rockdale's history...
