Old Gaol and Craft Centre - Established in 1857 as a Convict Depot, this site played an important role in serving as a hiring station from which settlers could employ convicts as workers. Built by convict labour, the site also later included a surgery, small hospital and gaol cells for both men and women. When the facility closed in 1984, it became the second longest serving prison in Western Australia (after Fremantle). Today the building houses locally made art and craft. The Old Gaol is located at 84 Chapman Road, within the Geraldton Heritage Precinct, Ngurra Barlunguu (Formerly Bill Sewell Complex). It is open from Monday to Friday from 10am to 3:30pm and Saturday from 9am to 12pm.
