City of Sydney Library Lunchtime Conversations is a series of free talks with authors, artists, and experts.
The Devonshire Street Cemeteries were the principal burial ground for Sydney city from 1820 to 1867. In 1901 the cemeteries were cleared to make way for Central Railway Station. The fragile memory of the dearly departed is demonstrated in the cemetery landscape's evolution: from respectful gravesites to an overcrowded cluster of corpses, neglected, forgotten, and overgrown.
In this 1-hour online interactive session, cemetery expert and City Historian Dr. Lisa Murray will take you on an illustrated journey of the Devonshire Street Cemeteries. Her presentation showcasing the cemeteries' evolution with imagery and gothic stories will be followed by the opportunity to join smaller group discussions before a final Q&A session.
