Abstract: |
The watching brief recorded the stable and cart-shed as well as sections along the new service trench. The study found that: both structures appeared to have been constructed in 1890. The apparent reuse of building material from Sydney Godolphin mine which included evidence of local Portland cement usage between 1853 and 1889. The stable was originally provided with a fine granite floor with stalls for six horses and associated drainage. Two examples of hidden 20th century superstition including the placement of a horse-show on the wall-plate over the stable door and the nailing of a bible to one of the tie beams in the stable roof.
