04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Broken tiles line the floor of a narrow corridor between shower cubicles. Chunks of plaster and ceiling panel litter the ground, wet and grey. Graffiti covers every metal partition and tiled wall. Spray cans sit at the base of a stall. Light enters from a window at the far end, pale and flat against the cream ceramic tiles beyond.

The series

Sundell Holden

2015 · 23 photographs

Sundell Holden was the Chatswood East workshop and showroom of Sundell Motors Pty Ltd, on the corner of Smith and Gibbes Streets. Sundell Motors Chatswood Pty Ltd was registered with ASIC on 5 January 1967, and the company ran a Sydney North Shore Holden dealer network with sites at Chatswood, Top Ryde, West Ryde, Drummoyne, and Pittwater. The original Pacific Highway showroom, where a 1962 EJ Holden was sold new to Mr Alan Hamilton, was demolished in 1987 for the Zenith Centre. The Smith Street site continued as the network's main workshop. Four related Sundell entities consolidated into a single SUNDELL MOTORS PTY LTD on 3 September 2018, and operations wound down with the broader Holden franchise closure following Holden's national withdrawal in 2020. The Smith Street building stood empty for several years before being demolished for the Woolworths Chatswood East supermarket, which opened on the site in November 2022.
