Hangmans Cave, Wisemans Ferry

Details

Identifiernot specifiedPhotographernot specifiedDescriptionAlso called, Courthouse Cave, Hangmans Cave is situated halfway up Devines Hill. Legend has it that convicts working on the Great North Road were hanged there. This is improbable, as any serious criminal case would have to have been heard by a judge and jury in Sydney or Windsor. It is more likely that the cave was used for storage, perhaps for gunpowder. (Lorraine Banks and Jocelyn Powell, "Around and About Wisemans Ferry" pp 17-18).Physical FormatWisemans Ferry
