Kensington Street

This guide to Kensington Street in Sydney follows a hundred seventy years of workers' terraces built in the 1830s and 40s to house the bottlers, coopers and brewery hands of the neighbouring Kent Brewery. You'll hear how the Tooth family, who owned the brewery, bought up and cleared the street house by house, and what happened when the brewery finally closed in the early 2000s. Listen for how a developer's decision about the surviving terraces' back doors changed the street's second act.
