Burra Police Lockup and Stables
History
Erected at the rear of the first police station in 1847, the cells were used as a temporary Gaol until Redruth Gaol was built in 1856. Additional cells, stables and the stableyard were added in 1873.
The Police Station is now the location for the Burra Burra Branch of National Trust SA archives, and entry is not permitted to visitors. The Police Lockup and Stables were dedicated to the National Trust in 1976 and are part of the Burra Heritage Trail.
