Red brick and sandstone. The front gate of Newington Armory stands square and solid, its pediment stamped with the Victorian Railways monogram and the date 1897. Narrow-gauge rail tracks run straight through the arched entrance and disappear into the complex beyond. Green-painted iron gates hang open on both sides. Arched windows sit deep in the brickwork. The mortar is clean, the render weathered to a dull ochre.

The series
Newington Armory
The Newington Armory operated as a Royal Australian Navy munitions depot from 1897 until decommissioning in 1999. Sandstone and brick magazines line the Parramatta River foreshore, their walls a metre thick in places, engineered to contain the force of an accidental detonation. The site now sits within Sydney Olympic Park, its original stores largely intact, paint peeling from heavy timber doors, river light filtering through narrow vents cut into stone.
