Wow, it was certainly brutal, but maybe just maybe! They learnt R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Privy Council: Court Buildings of the British Empire, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Thank for the invites, DBHKer.

This is the second courthouse which was built in 1887. The date MDCCCLXXXVII is above the doorway and clearly visible in the other photos. The wrought iron fence and gates have not been built yet.

One internet source states that the Cooyal Diggings/Linburn School was established in 1880 and closed in 1929.

lifeasdaddy, you're exactly right! According to the publication 'Government Schools of NSW, 1848 to 1998' by the NSW Department of Education and Training, Linburn operated as a public school from March 1880 - October 1929. It was known as Cooyal Diggings until 1881.

Hi Fascinating looking over old drawings and plans isn't it? Thank you for sharing - I used your picture to illustrate a blog post on planning permission for solar roof panels. Seemed appropriate. Here's a link to the post and your photo in situ: solarpanelquoter.blogspot.com/2010/04/solar-roof-panels-w... Regards - Jonathan

Thanks for letting us know, Jonathan. An 1882 plan is a creative way to talk about solar panels!
