History

The place was one of number of building constructed along the line as part of the railway network. Four long buildings housed railway employees on this site. The buildings consisted of weatherboard with corrugated iron roof and ran parallel to Stanley Street. They were situated between the railway lines – one line to either side of the dwellings. The workers used the area between the buildings as access to the dwellings. The area is now Shire carpark. Close to the railway employees’ buildings (but outside the lines) and to the north-east was the Railway Master’s house (extant).
