Personal Stories
St James Tunnels
His name appears on the wall of a railway tunnel near St James Station in Sydney. The tunnel, under Hyde Park, was constructed for an Eastern Suburbs Railway that was never completed. It has never been used by trains. The tunnel was used as a public air raid shelter during World War II.
