Jan 3rd, "This history of Rose's Gap police station is sketchy and rather short despite the fact that the lock up was built in 1860. The police station was closed in 1863. During its six years of operation, eleven mounted police were reported to have been stationed there" extract from Victoria's Wonderland: a Grampians history - Ch Roes Gap and Troopers Ck.

Of these, 42 are known to be extant. The original 1860s site lockup was a 2-cell bluestone construction. Some of the original bluestone remains. It was used in the 1970s as traffic island edging at the intersection of Main Road and Wattletree Road where it was painted white then later relocated back to this site in the 1980s to be used as edging for a driveway access off Main Road beside the former Police Residence where the Police Station originally stood. Evidence of some of this edging remains in place today leading to the replica Police Station. Other blocks were used to define the garden edging in the carpark at the rear of the residence.This lockup used to be located at the Police Station in Pryor Street and was then stored in Youth Road before being acquired for the Local History Centre 3 colour photographseltham, main road, police residence, local history centre, eltham district historical society, courthouse, youth road
