Forgotten Sydney Rozelle Tram Depot
See also page on Rozelle Tram Depot
Rozelle Tram Depot is a large tram depot in Glebe that has stood effectively empty sine the 1960s.
It is currently owned by the Harold Park Raceway, who would like to develop it into flats. As the site is heritage listed and sits in the middle of parkland, a stalemate has ensued.
There are also about half a dozen old trams in it that were until recently in near perfect condition (having been sourced for a proposed heritage tram route in the Rocks that was later abandoned). They have now been heavily vandalised (see recent picture below).
A tram departs the Rozelle Depot (adjacent to Harold Park) bound for Sydney University and the city (c. 1955). 
An R1 class tram at Stop 30 in Glebe Point Road opposite Palmerstone Avenue (January 1958).
Circa 1919.

Above- the trams inside the depot in around 2000. They were still in very good condition then. The following pictures were taken in 2008 and show how brutally they've been vandalised..
