The colonial law and order complex at Graham Street now serves other purposes, the police station being legal offices and the 1860 court house, also by J.J. Clark, being a bar and restaurant. Note the small but grim two-cell bluestone lockup behind it. Around the corner, a new apartment block occupies the site of the original Borough Council Chambers. Historic Holy Trinity Anglican was on the opposite corner. It began in a tent in 1854 to become the leading Sandridge church, but now facaded and surrounded by unsympathetic structures. Our hope for the new century is that ‘the Borough’ will suffer no further loss of its remaining colonial heritage.
