'''Randwick''' is a suburb in the [[Eastern Suburbs (Sydney)|Eastern Suburbs]] of [[Sydney]], in the state of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. Randwick is located 6 kilometres south-east of the [[Sydney central business district]] and is the administrative centre for the [[Local government in Australia|local government area]] of the [[City of Randwick]].

==History==
Randwick was named after the village of [[Randwick, Gloucestershire]], [[England]], birthplace of Simeon Henry Pearce, who became [[List of mayors of Randwick|Mayor of Randwick]] six times.<ref>Rand</ref> Simeon, who migrated to Australia in 1842, and his brother James who arrived in 1848, were responsible for the founding and early development of Randwick.{{cn|date=March 2023}} Simeon built the first stone house in the area in 1848, called Blenheim House, which can still be seen in Blenheim Street. It was neglected for some time in the mid-1900s, but was eventually acquired by Randwick City Council and restored.{{cn|date=March 2023}}

Proclaimed as a Municipality in February 1859, and as a City in 1990, Randwick has a rich history and a number of heritage buildings. Another Mayor of Randwick, George Kiss, lived in the house known as Ventnor in the 1870s.<ref>Kiss</ref> A two-storey sandstone house, Ventnor was built by Alderman Edward Dawson in 1859, and is situated on Avoca Street, overlooking Coogee. It is now owned by the nearby [[Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church, Randwick|Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church]] (built 1888). Other buildings of note include the St Jude's Church group, also on Avoca Street. Originally designed by [[Edmund Blacket]],<ref>The Heritage of Australia, Macmillan Company, 1981</ref> (who also designed [[St. Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney]] and the [[University of Sydney]]), the church was completed in 1865. It was modified by H.M. Robinson in 1889. The rectory next door was built in 1870. The Verger's Residence, designed by [[Thomas Rowe]]<ref>Rowe</ref> and completed in 1862, was the original Randwick Municipal Chambers. This distinctive building, with its Gothic touches, was followed by the present Randwick Town Hall, which was built further north in Avoca Street in 1881. The church group and Ventnor are listed on the [[Register of the National Estate]].

Further south down Avoca Street is the sandstone building with a tower, built in 1859 as an investment property by William Ellis, one of Randwick's first six elected aldermen. After briefly being used as the 'Star and Garter' Inn by Mrs Elizabeth Shipway, it was later the home of Captain Thomas Watson,<ref>Wat</ref> who was responsible for commissioning the 1874 statue of [[Captain James Cook]], sculpted by Walter McGill, which still stands at the south side of the building. Captain Watson also heightened the square tower, thus ensuring another distinctive landmark feature of the area.{{cn|date=April 2025}}
Close by is another even more imposing building in Randwick's heartland - the [[Prince of Wales Hospital (Sydney)|Prince of Wales Hospital]], which started life as the Randwick Asylum for Destitute Children.<ref>Children</ref> Opened in 1858, it was partly financed by the legacy of Dr. Cuthill, whose name is commemorated by the adjacent Cuthill Street. The southern wing was added in 1863, by which time over 800 children were being cared for.{{cn|date=April 2025}} In 1915, the Asylum buildings were finally deemed unsuitable as premises in which to provide a realistic home life for children, and they were then adapted for WWI use as a military and repatriation hospital. In 1953 the complex was officially renamed as the Prince of Wales Hospital, which continues to grow as a renowned medical facility.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

Other noteworthy buildings include private homes like Ilfracombe, Clovelly and Torquay in Avoca Street, and Venice, in Frenchmans Road. The latter was built 1884–84 on part of St Mark's Glebe. The land had been leased in 1880 for 99 years to S.Holmes and J.Parsons. The house features Tudor and Gothic elements and has stained glass windows. It has been described as a "comparatively rare and distinctive example of late Victorian Gothic architecture retaining most of its detailing intact."<ref name=nswshr-175/> It has a New South Wales heritage listing.

Another notable home was Sandgate, located in Belmore Road. This sandstone house was built circa 1870 on Crown land purchased by Simeon Pearce in 1853. It was bought by the Federal Government in the 1920s; it was then used as a [[Red Cross]] facility for First World War veterans. It was saved from demolition in 1978 and restored by Randwick Council.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

The last Gothic mansion left in Randwick is [[Nugal Hall]], located in Milford Street. It was designed by [[Mortimer Lewis]] and the southern portion of the house was built in 1853 for [[Alexander McArthur]], a shipping merchant. The house features a staircase with glass dome above; the staircase was built of Mauritius mahogany and cedar. The coach house building at the front was originally a lodge for [[horse-drawn vehicle]]s. The northern portion of the house was completed by Dr Fred Tidswell who owned the Coogee Bay Hotel. The architect of the northern portion is thought to have been Mortimer Lewis's son, Oswald. The Tidswell family owned the house from c. 1880–1903.<ref name=heritage>{{cite NSW SHR|5045442|Nugal Hall|fn=14/5228; 11/22057; S90/6217|date=31 July 2014|access-date=26 November 2017 }}</ref> Frederick Squire Tidswell (1831–1898) and his wife Mary Ann (1836–1912) had nine children including the [[microbiologist]] [[Physician|Dr]] [[Frank Tidswell]] (1867–1941) and architect [[Thomas Tidswell]] (1870–1950).<ref name=mundia>{{cite web | title =Frank Tidswell 1867-1941 | publisher =Mundia | url =http://www.mundia.com/au/Person/12197376/1386108321 | access-date = 21 May 2012 }}</ref>

Just 6 kilometres east of Sydney's CBD, the City of Randwick, once known as the 'Sports Coast' is home to some 29&nbsp;km of coastline, 10 beaches and bays and many major recreation facilities. Randwick City is one of the most visited tourist areas outside central Sydney, attracting some 13 million visits each year. The city is home to the [[Oceanway|Coastal Walkway]], Randwick Racecourse, Coogee and Maroubra Beaches, [[Kamay Botany Bay National Park|Botany Bay National Park]], [[Centennial Parklands]] (which includes Queens Park and Moore Park), several top class golf courses and major institutions including the University of New South Wales and the Prince of Wales Hospitals.

A number of well-known sporting teams represent the local area.

The local [[cricket]] team [[Randwick Petersham Cricket Club]] plays in the [[Sydney Grade Cricket]] domestic competition and was formed through a merger between Randwick and Petersham Cricket Clubs.

Randwick is represented in the [[National Rugby League]] by the [[Sydney Roosters]], formerly the Eastern Suburbs District Rugby League Football Club. Junior rugby league teams include the [[Clovelly Crocodiles]], the [[Coogee Dolphins]] and [[Coogee Randwick Wombats]].

The building is owned by the [[Sydney Roosters| Sydney Roosters (Eastern Suburbs Rugby League Club)]], which has donated the building for use by the [[Ted Noffs Foundation]], for the purpose of providing assistance to troubled youth in the district. There are numerous community or corner parks like Alison Park, [[Randwick Peace Park]], Frank Doyle Park, [[Fred Hollows Reserve]] and Writtle Park in the locality of Randwick used for recreational and sporting purposes.
