All Aboard

This acrylic painting by Neil Hartles is titled (All Aboard). The old trams were abandoned in the tram depose.
Neil Hartles, painting is an image of the historical transport that has since disappeared from the Tramsheds. It trams and buses are gone and replaced by food courts and eateries. The Tramsheds was built over one hundred years ago in 1904 was known as the Rozelle Tramway Depot. It was home to 200 carriages in its prime and was part of the Sydney tram network in the 1950s. The trams companies closed the sheds in 1958. Then they were used for storage to house some of Sydney historic trams. In the year 2000, Trespasses got in and vandalised the trams and buses. The graffiti artist got in there and painted them with tags, graffiti.
All the graffiti in the painting is Neil’s original artwork. It is signed and ready to hang with hanging wire and D loops fitted.
