Historical information

The Newcastle Police Stables on Clinton Street in Toodyay, Western Australia were constructed in 1891 and replaced the original timber stables erected on this site in 1860, which were destroyed by fire.
The stables remained in use until 1955.
Restoration of the building began in the 1970s and the stables are currently open as part of the Newcastle Old Gaol Museum complex
