    Notice the VR (Victoria Regina) over the keystone, marking the reign in which a public bulding was built & put over every public building when I was a child (EIIR by then) "Designed by architect H A Wilshire and constructed in 1839 as a result of a competition organised by the NSW government architect. The dominant feature externally is the circular heads over openings, the most significant being the horseshoe shaped entrance which draws attention to the heavily moulded timber gates. The original governor's residence is at the right of the gates and is largely obscured by a large tree, but the gaol itself is easily visible to the public." (From www.check-in.com.au/Northern_Rivers/Grafton_Gaol.htm ) No doubt a terrible, terrible place if the notes on prison reform (ABC below) are anything to go on. www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2005/20050711_supermax/pr...

    boy... hasn't it changed !

    I beg to differ the construction date of the gaol in the above post by MargaretsFamily. I refer the website www.clarencehistory.org.au/timeline.html The timeline indicates 1893 the Gaol was opened. I also have a similar photograph as shown here and, on it it clearly states "1893".

    And with those damaging floods, too, SilencelsScary. This ABC image looks to be of a flooded Prince Street - the palm trees still exist www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/05/22/2578755.htm

    I really enjoyed seeing this! Have you come across a photo of Rocks Ferry further down the river - I have great memories of crossing the punt as a child to visit my grandma. (rather exciting way to finish a long drive from Sydney) And I remember the years that we had to come across Bain's bridge while the new Rocks Ferry bridge was built.
