Historical information

The Newcastle Police Stables in Clinton Street, Toodyay were built in 1891, and remained in use until the mid 1950s.
Around 1956, after a severe storm, the roof of the stables was removed as it was declared unsafe. Over the next two decades the walls further deteriorated through storm damage and as a result of the 1968 Meckering earthquake.
This photograph from the museum collection shows the stables prior to restoration in 1977.
