Old Derby Gaol
The oldest building still standing in Derby, dating from 1906, this gaol reflects the response of the authorities to keeping law and order in a remote area and the type of facilities felt to be appropriate.
An adjacent interpretive centre outlines the history of the building and the impact of policing policy on the mainly Aboriginal inmates.
The gaol is unusual in that it is not a substantial stone or brick structure but is constructed of galvanised iron and bars only. Chain rings can still be observed in the concrete floor.
