The Devonshire Street Cemetery (also known as the Brickfield Cemetery or Sandhills Cemetery) was located between Eddy Avenue and Elizabeth Street, and between Chalmers and Devonshire streets, at Brickfield Hill, in Sydney, Australia. It was consecrated in 1820.[1][2] The Jewish section was used from 1832.[3] By 1860, the cemetery was full, and it was closed in 1867.
