Preston Workshops, Heritage tram maintenance facility in Preston, Australia
The Preston Workshops complex encompasses five substantial brick industrial buildings spanning 17 acres along Miller Street and St Georges Road in Melbourne's northern suburbs.
The Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board established these workshops between 1924 and 1928 to support the transition from cable trams to electric tram operations.
The facility developed workplace traditions through generations of skilled workers who maintained Melbourne's tram fleet and manufactured the notable W-class trams.
The workshops maintain 72 modern trams, including 48 E1-Class and 24 E2-Class vehicles, serving multiple routes across Melbourne's public transportation network.
Archaeological deposits throughout the site contain valuable information about past tramway manufacturing processes and maintenance techniques from early 20th century operations.
