• The “abandoned building” in Randle Street, Surry Hills, adjacent to Central Station was once the R.C.
• Full of wooden trusses and likely old machinery oil, the building collapsed in a spectacular bonfire.
• How did Surry Hills come to be the centre of the fashion manufacturing industry, or “rag trade”, for New South Wales?

Dressing in New South Wales

• The New South Wales fashion industry was one of the most locally concentrated in Australia.
• Apart from some large men’s suiting and shirt factories, most men’s, women’s and children’s clothes and hats were made in or near Surry Hills.
• David Jones assembled its garments in a modern purpose-built factory in Marlborough Street, Surry Hills in 1915.

The look and feel of Surry Hills

• Surry Hills was covered in cheap terrace houses built as worker’s rentals from the 1850s.
• Surry Hills was the main buying centre for fashion; department store, suburban and country buyers would walk from factory to factory to inspect the goods.
• Labour for the Surry Hills industry was drawn from the entire metropolitan area.

Post-war Surry Hills

• Fashion and clothing knowledge enabled many Jewish migrants to re-establish their livelihoods and identities across the globe.
• Low rents due to deteriorating building stock and the lack of demand for office space in Surry Hills meant clothing manufacturing continued.
• Factory buildings replaced some terrace houses from 1958, when Surry Hills was zoned for “B class” industry.
• The capital required to enter the industry was small; machines could be hired and floor space rented on a weekly basis.

End of the rag trade

• The reduction of tariffs and subsidies, price gouging, discounting and off-shore production decimated the industry.
• Clothing production moved to areas such as Marrickville, with Vietnamese entrepreneurs and workers replacing the Greeks who had once worked in the trade there.
• Rather than urban professionals and baristas, we would see rag trade seamstresses, finishers, designers, managers, retailers, salespeople and promoters.
• With this fire, another piece of Sydney’s rag trade and workers’ history is lost.
