Carriageworks Farmers’ Market

This guide to Carriageworks Farmers' Market in Sydney starts inside the old Eveleigh railway workshops in August 1917, when thousands of boilermakers and fitters downed tools over a new time-and-motion punch card that logged their every movement. It follows how the walkout rippled outward to trams, wharves and coal mines, and how this same iron-roofed blacksmith's shed now fills each Saturday with regional growers instead. Listen for the echo in the roofline above the market stalls.
