Turning Back Time

Today we’re looking back at an iconic Penrith office that was located on Station Street in Penrith.

The main black and white picture shows the final office of the Nepean Times newspaper in the early 1970s.

The publication had finished printing by then, but the name and office remained as a print shop.

The Nepean Times newspaper began publication in 1882. The offices were first located in George Besley’s building on the southern side of High Street. They moved to the northern side of High Street and later to Station Street.

After its closure, the Nepean Times office remained in place – and the other photos are of the office as it stood in the early 1980s, and the final presses being removed from the building. (Photos thanks to Penrith City Library)
