The Original Police Camp and Gaol was sited on Camp Street but a new Police camp was opened in November 1867
The camp contained 2 lock up cells, accommodation for the men, a watchkeepers house and stabling for 10 Horses. A fire in 1915 destroyed some of the buildings and the boundaries were later changed so that Police Station was forced to share the corner site
