Erskineville, bench

This mosaic covered bench is located along Erskineville Road, outside the former town hall, in the inner city suburb of Erskineville. It features memories of the industrial and commercial history of the area such as the Eveleigh Railway Workshops, Metters Steel factory, Goodsell's Brickyards and the Rose of Australia Hotel.

    Hi Jim,

    I love this mosaic bench of blues! Isn’t it fun finding blues to share? Thanks for playing today.

    I've been thinking about the effort historians make to assure that future generations will understand something of their heritage. This art is wonderful.. beautiful, functional and looks like it will stand the test of time too.

    You have shown us so many wonderful mosaic public art pieces and this is one more. It looks like stained glass windows brought to earth. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
