1987: Decommissioning of Darlinghurst Police Station

In 1987, the Sydney Police Centre at Surry Hills opened, and it led to the decommissioning of the Darlinghurst Police Station in Bourke Street, Darlinghurst. It had been opened in 1896 with a lock-up facility built three years later in 1899. The Daily Telegraph produced a two-page feature to mark the end of an era.

It will be preserved for future generations as it is now heritage listed.
