Darlington, Church of the Assumption of Our Lady

Church of the Assumption of Our Lady is a Greek Orthodox Church located on Abercrombie Street, in the inner city suburb of Darlington. The architectural style of this church is not one seen much in Australia. With these colours of whitewash white and sky blue, it looks more like something you might see in Greece. Today is Good Friday, a religious and national public holiday in Australia.

Darlington, Royal Hotel

The Royal Hotel is located in the inner city suburb of Darlington. It sits on the prominent corner of Abercrombie Street and Codrington Street, behind this roundabout. It was built in 1894 by James England to serve the needs of local railway workers at the nearby Eveleigh railway workshops. The suburb was named after Governor Ralph Darling. The area was originally known as Golden Grove when it was used as market gardens, and that name remains as a locality within the suburb.
