    CITATION
    The stone lock-up at Bannockburn was originally constructed by Thomas Brooking and Co of Geelong and
    located at Lethbridge. The rectangular paln gaol of square coursed basalt with gabled entry porch and iron
    grille gate was completed in June 1860. In December 1869 Trevena and Gubby contracted to remove the
    stone lock-up from Lethbridge to Bannockburn, each stone being numbered.
    The lock-up at Bannockburn is a standard plan structure designed by the Public Works Department and
    erected throughout Victoria in the late 1850' s and early 1860's. Whilst tradition accords these structures a role
    in providing overnight security for gold escorts, the principal function was to house prisoners awaiting trial
    before the visiting Police Magistrate. The lock-up at Bannockburn is a good example of this building type and
    of significance to the district.
    The lock-up at Bannockburn is maintained in good condition and used as a store house by the present
    owners, the Shire of Bannockburn.
