Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Sep 2000	Historic/Archaeological Site	Historic/Archaeological Site Where a place has cultural heritage significance as a result of its former use or because of buildings or structures that formerly existed on the site, interpretive signage such as a plaque should be erected to provide information on the history of the place. If the place is privately owned, Council should encourage the owner to provide interpretive signage and provide assistance where possible to the owner to ensure that any historical information is accurate (i.e. obtained from a reliable source). Archaeology Where development is proposed on the site of a former significant structure or building, an archaeological survey should be carried out prior to development to determine firstly the likelihood or archaeological material being found and secondly whether archaeological excavation is appropriate. The site survey should be carried out by an appropriately qualified historical archaeologist. If recommended an archaeological excavation should be carried out prior to development. Alternatively, an archaeological monitoring brief should be established to ensure that any material discovered during construction is investigated. This brief requires work to stop until an archaeologist has investigated the site in the event of material being uncovered during normal construction works.	City of Fremantle

Statement of Significance

Site of former Stables, Holdsworth Street, is significant as a site because it served the adjacent prison complex and/or the prison warders who lived in cottages along Holdsworth and Henderson Streets.

Physical Description

DEMOLISHED

History

Holdsworth Street was originally named Doonan Street; the change of name occurred c. 1901. Joseph Doonan was the Comptroller of the Prison and J. Doonan & Sons were also storekeepers in Adelaide Street. Lionel Holdsworth owned a large amount of land in the area and after his death in 1901 the street name was changed.
Stables are located opposite the end of Parry Street where it T-junctions with Holdsworth Street (then Doonan Rd) on the 1908 sewerage plan. Aligned with Holdsworth Street is a stone building with a timber and a brick addition. Two corrugated iron stables buildings run along the west and south boundaries of the lot. They do not appear to be associated with a residence, but are of a smaller scale than some of the commercial stables identified in the heart of the town at the time. It is likely that these stables served the adjacent prison complex and/or the prison warders who lived in cottages along Holdsworth and Henderson Streets. The site later became a carpark, before Parry Street was extended directly over the site of the former stables to meet with Norfolk Street.
