Canley Vale, arts and crafts centre


Westacott Cottage is a heritage building in the western suburb of Canley Vale that is now used as the Fairfield Arts and Crafts Centre. This late Victorian era cottage on Railway Parade was built by William Westacott in 1886 and occupied by the family until the 1970s.

  2. That's an interesting building, it looks like it could have been a railway station in the past. You always have the most beautiful blue skies in Sydney.

  6. Lindz, in the busy commercial areas, I usually pick a quiet afternoon on the weekend to take my pictures. For the recreational areas I usually visit on a weekday when most people are working. It also often involves some waiting around for the right moment when people are out of shot.
