Thanks Phil – I don’t suppose you have any photos of your dad when he worked there? Yes there area has changed a lot. I was trying to find out what kind of recordings exist of the place, (beyond photos) but couldn’t find much.. as you can see.

Comment on The Pyrmont Incinerator by Phil Kerrigan

Hello – I came across your site after doing some family research recently. My father worked at the incinerator probably from about ’38 to ’48 walking there and back from Naremburn most times to save tram fare. He was an Irish emigrant (1924) and had a large family.
Years later I worked in Pyrmont myself in the office of a factory in Pyrmont St for about six years and met my wife there.
Pyrmont was a nice place in the 60′s with a lot of working class families, many who worked where I did, and I remember a huge number of pubs in the area. I thought it could have become another Paddington as the area changed but was sacrificed to progress and has become another North Sydney!
Cheers
