Objects from the past

Celebrating the National Trust Heritage Festival 2022

The History Group of the Balmain Association will be presenting an extensive collection of objects from our collection for the National Trust Heritage Festival. Some of the items are from the period when the Watch House was still a lockup. There will be original handcuffs, police batons and the sergeant stripes from Sgt Ira Gray, the last policeman to stay in the Watch House. There will also be a number of items displayed that were found when the local community was involved in renewing the garden.
Our exhibition will be on every Tuesday 11 to 1 pm and Saturday 11 to 3pm from 16 April to 14 May. We hope to see you there.
