complex

If I may correct the RAHS. AWA was located on Parramatta Road in Ashfield, not Burwood which is further west and adjoining Croydon which is the suburb on the right in this photo. The canal in the centre of this photo is called the iron cove creek, which opens up to iron cove further down stream. Since the mid 90's the area has been redeveloped into a gated community, and the area fronting Parramatta road is where Indian motorcycles, Burger King and KFC now occupy the site. This canal is a natural delineator of 4 suburbs, Ashfield on the top left, Haberfield bottom left, Croydon top Right, and Five Dock bottom right with the road the entry leading to The Great North Road.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, always welcome. We have amended the information presented with this wonderful image.

I hadn't realised they made these.

What a lovely piece of lethal machinery. The electronics age has removed much of the splendour of machinery.

A real complex bit of kit.

The church looks COI, so I don't think it's an ecclesiastical complex. I reckon it's an institution.

There's a better view in catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000565499 It's massive and beside a railway.

We've been here before:

Here's an update Geohive version of the OSI 25" showing the railway line, the Hevey Institute, the palace and the church, in Mullingar.

Streetview showing the front of the building. The church has been replaced by the Cathedral of Christ the King (built in 1936).
