Summary

Description
English: The Sydney terminal station was built in September 1855 on traditional Gadigal land of the Eora Nation. The site was also known as the ‘Cleveland Paddock’, situated between Devonshire and Cleveland streets. The station was commonly referred to as Redfern Station as it was located close to Redfern. The station has been described as a “temporary tin shed”, due to the fact it was a single 30m long wooden platform in a corrugated iron shed. In 1856 additional railway sheds and yards were added to the site but by the early 1870s the station was unable to meet the demands of the rapidly growing Sydney railway network.
