Eveleigh Taxi

Eveleigh is located 3 kilometers south of the Sydney central business district; it is in the local government area of the City of Sydney. Eveleigh was named after the birthplace in England of Lieutenant J.R. Holden, much of the suburb of Redfern was known as Eveleigh. In fact Redfern Railway Station was originally known as Eveleigh railway station with the Eveleigh railway yards located south west of the station.

In the 1880′s construction started on a new workshop complex which occupied over 60 acres of land. Originally the workshops serviced and repaired the growing NSW fleet, but, in 1908 they began manufacturing steam trains. By this time the place employed over 3000 people. While many workers lived locally still many lived in other suburbs, so the Macdonald town station which was located in the middle of the complex was purpose built for the workers. The workshop was closed in 1988.
