[3] To the west of this were Church Lands, declared in 1823 to support clergy in the colony, which extended into present day Flemington.

The name Redmire (changed c. 1865 to Redmyre) honoured a village in North Yorkshire, England, which was near the birthplace of the Terry family.

[4][3] The line was quadruplicated between 1891 and 1892, causing track alterations and requiring the construction of a pedestrian subway at the western end of the station to connect all platforms.

The land required for the extra platforms was reclaimed from The Boulevard and Clarendon Street (Albert Road).

[7][10] As part of reconstruction of the station area and for the future electrification of the western and northern rail lines a new Power Signal Box was built at Strathfield.

It was built on a resumed, triangular block of land bounded by the Main Western Line to its north and Clarendon Street (Albert Road) to its south.

The 1926-vintage power box, which had a Westinghouse miniature lever frame, still stands to the west end of platform 8.

When this occurred, a modern extension was added to its south wing, removing the area on that side where the outdoor transformers were formerly located.

For example, Prime Minister Earle Page chose to buy a home in Strathfield because of its direct services to Melbourne, then the seat of federal parliament, and his electorate on the north coast of New South Wales.

The quality of the platform structures is high and represents technological achievement that was compatible with design in Britain at the time.
