Highfield House in Stanley, Tasmania Australia was built by convict labour from 1826 to 1835.
Continuing with a few more pieces of furniture and the Cellar at Highfield House, Stanley, Tasmania.
The last 3 photos are of the cellar and instructions via a list of what is needed to start a Colony, unfortunately it's not readable.
In this Cellar provisions were kept because it was cooler down there.
There are no photos of the kitchen, the doors were about to be shut/locked for the day, so next time I visit it will be the kitchen first.
Built to last - and I am sure that the cellar was cool and an excellent place to store food.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
It was cooler down in the cellar and more room than I have showed.
DeleteThat's a really good house. I have kinda expected that the cellar was bigger.
ReplyDeleteThe cellar is bigger than I've shown but it's not huge.
DeleteHello Margaret!what a lovely house!Ilike the inventory in the rooms
ReplyDeleteIt's a homely house Anita. When you walk in the door it feels good.
DeleteThe cellar looks solid. Who knows if it was only for provisions' storage and not used for confining convicts.
ReplyDeleteCellar is made of stone, the convicts didn't live or stay in there, there quarters were across the road.
DeleteThe cellar would be a great place to store the goods. I love the roll top desk, my grandmother used to have one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful desk, brother in law has one of the desks, it's similar.
DeleteMore wonderful photos of a wonderful place
ReplyDeleteIndeed Jo-Anne.
DeleteBello lugar, te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI could live there! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I could too Lee. Beautiful view, flat on top of the hill only thing it might be a bit windy at times.
DeleteRemarkable floor!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is. Many a foot has walked on it too.
DeleteA fascinating visit in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteOh indeed David, we are going to visit again later in the year hopefully.
DeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat cellar full of provisions must have looked amazing.
Have a great weekend
I guess it did Maria and know doubt scrubbed often.
DeleteI would love to get down to Tassie one day. It's the only state I haven't yet been too.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will get here one day M.
DeleteGood to hear from you :)
Buenas capturas del exterior y el interior. Me gusta ese empedrado.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
Thank you. The cobblestones feel strong beneath ones feet.
DeleteAwesome post
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI thought I have commented on this post but its gone. I don't know what happened to my comment. Or maybe I didn't click to publish my comment. I like the interior of the house. Interesting to have a look inside the empty cellar. Our houses here do not have cellar.
ReplyDeleteHappens to me sometimes Nancy, comment and it's gone and have to do it again.
DeleteOur houses don't usually have cellar either just an odd one or two.
Me gustó esta visita Margaret. Se ve una buena casa.
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana. Cuídaros.
Un abrazo.
Thanks Laura. It is a good house, strong and appealing.
DeleteMind blowing post

DeleteConvict labour was very cheap in those days.
ReplyDeleteCertainly was, just a bit of food, convict clothes and shelter.
DeleteO chão com pedras é um luxo, gostei muito! bj
ReplyDeleteCobblestones are good in the cellar.
