This sign is located at the entrance to CarriageWorks, a multi-venue arts centre in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. CarriageWorks is housed in the former Eveleigh railway yards which were built between 1880 and 1889. The railway workshops on this site closed in 1988 and the heritage buildings were redeveloped into an art centre dedicated to the development and presentation of contemporary arts.
I took a tour of these railway shed before they were converted. I was mesmerised. I have been to a couple of plays there too, but need my 'contemporary' brain in, which is not always available to me.
ReplyDeleteI saw the workshops pre this conversion! They were looking a little shabby but always fascinating! The makeover is amazing! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the sign is very creative! I hope the conversion is, too!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful place chosen.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably the 'thought of paradise-engineering' which reminded me about the book, having studied Engineering back home a decade ago.
Please have a good Thursday.
A good use for the old workshops! Cool sign.
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to go down there, possibly for the market but haven't made it yet. The buildings on both sides of the railway there look really interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sign - it definitely caught my attention!
ReplyDeleteAnn, thanks for the reminder. I should go down there one weekend when the markets are on.
ReplyDeleteWow i love you blog its awesome nice colors you must have did hard work on your blog. Keep up the good work. Thanks

ReplyDeletethe signs makes more sense knowing the space was the old railway yards.

Interesting billboard, Jim. I wonder what the antennae are all about?
ReplyDeleteNick, I don't know whether they have any function at all or whether they're just there for show.
