Recycling Works
MURAL COMPETITION 2015
Location:
45 Parramatta Rd, Annandale
Additional Information:
Recycling Works has been operating 15 years
as a bric a brac shop. Prior to this it was a
plumber’s yard.
When entering this shop you could be reminded
of searching for old treasures in your great
grandparents attic and the vivid memories these
objects bring to mind, or the joy of finding that
treasure you lost and have now found.
For the footpath area of the mural site, the artist will
need to incorporate the existing rainbow design into
the work. The rainbow was painted some years ago
by Tom who works in the shop, who is also an artist.
The laneway is often used for car access so the
footpath design will need to be simple and quick to
execute, preferably with a quick drying aerosol. This
also means that when painting the mural the artist
will need to flexible and move as required to allow
cars through when necessary.

Bald Faced Stag Hotel
Location:
345 Parramatta Rd, Leichhardt
Additional Information:
This mural site is located at the rear of
the Bald Faced Stag Hotel next to the
beer garden.
The Bald Faced Stag is steeped in
history. It is not only an iconic live music
venue in the inner west but its roots
trace back to the original beer culture
of Sydney itself. The Tooheys Brothers
even developed their famous logo from
within the walls. Built in the early 1830s
by Abraham Hearn, the pediment on the
current hotel implies that it was named
the Bald Faced Stag from its inception.
However in the early years it may
have been known by several different
names. Bald Faced Stag was originally
Colonial late Victorian Italianate and it
has changed it’s architectural style four
times. Now a two story brick structure
with ornamented Parapet in the Inter
War Free classical style.
Original Bald Faced Stag one of Sydney’s Earliest Pubs c1830 Corner of Balmain
Road and Parramatta Road. (the first Woolpack Inn.)
