It was designed like a English cavalry barracks, with the troopers accommodated in rooms directly above the stables. The police barracks was located within the grounds of the convict-era Carters Barracks. Apart from providing police accommodation, the barracks included stores where clothing was issued to the 2000 policemen stationed across NSW. There was an amory and armorer’s shop, a service magazine, storage for up to four police vans known as ‘Black Marias’, stabling for 30 horses, drill sheds and a gymnasium. This photograph is from a series of glass plate negatives showing buildings in the Devonshire Street resumption area, before they were cleared to make way for Central Railway. This view shows a front view of the barracks, as they were being demolished.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Special citationBelmore Police Barracks was purpose-built in the 1850s to provide quarters for mounted troopers and trainee policemen.
