Guildford Gaol

West Coast Australia


This interesting red-brick heritage building is next door to the old Guildford Courthouse – both are part of the Guildford Heritage Precinct. The jail operated from 1841 until 1969, when the adjunct courthouse closed. The guest of honour was serial escapee bushranger Moondyne Joe in 1869. Entry is via guided tour, at 10am and 1.30pm Tuesday to Saturday.
