Talk:Darlington, New South Wales

Untitled

This article contains factual errors. The "landmarks" paragraph is erroneous. The Eveleigh Railway Yards are located in the adjoining suburb of Eveleigh. The area known as "The Block" is in Redfern. The suburb is bounded to the east not by the railway, but by Abercrombie Street. (refer Sydway 2005). Australian plural of bus is "buses", not "busses". (unsigned comment by User:Neil lefevre)

Your supposition is inaccurate as is Sydway. The Block is an integral part of Darlington, the Railway Yards abutt Darlington, and are disconnected from the rest of Eveleigh (the "Technology Park"), such that the Railway yards can only be accessed from any other point in Eveleigh by transiting through Darlington. Sydway doesn't reflect lived experience, and a map maker, or a government department, doesn't determine the extent of a living suburb. In future, you might consider signing your comments.

I think that 'living' suburbs is very high-minded, but a bit vague for an encyclopedia. The soulution could be to distinguish between Darligton the suburb and Darlington the locality. Suburb boundaries, as arbitrary as they might seem, are historical artifacts. Suburb identity is heritage - not something that can be modified on a whim. Note that the Darlington-Redfern boundary could pre-date the railway line. I don't know if that is the case, but it is quite possible. Redfern station was once known as Eveleigh Station, and was the terminating station for the western line. The suburb boundaries, meanwhile, were often based on estate boundaries drawn up much earlier. NeilLeFevre 23:49, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Incidentally, UBD shows The Block as Darlington. Perhaps this is a good moment to get out the State's maps, and then discuss the issue of the living suburb. Fifelfoo 23:58, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't know how to respond to this. Are you joking? Is there some sort of agenda that you're promoting? Are we talking about 'The Block' or about some other 'block'? UBD does not show the block as being part of Darlington. It is clearly in Redfern. Turn to map 15. The red line running up the centre of Abercrombie St, between Lawson and Vine Streets, is the suburb boundary. The black line in the railway easement is... you guessed it... the railway.

With no answer for the above for a couple of weeks, I will correct the inaccuracies in the page. Neil LeFevre 08:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
