Description
Argyle Bridge Party is a common reference in absconder records, but presumably refers to a gang -probably working at different locations on the Great South Road (Hume Highway) within the County of Argyle - rather than a specific location. Later these gangs were probably based out of Towrang Stockade and it is conceivable that there may have been an existing road or bridge gang site in the vicinity. This point, positioned near the stockade - is close to the centre of the County and provides some spatial reference.

Stockade erected as early as 1823 to allow convicts to quarry stone for the new gaol. An 1866 report notes that Darlinghurst Gaol was constructed on the site of the former stockade: 'the present walls enclosing the stockade as well as the prisonadmission to the stockade being obtained through a gateway on the eastern wall; this gateway has been for some years closed up; though until very lately the eastern part of the en-closure has been known in the prison as 'The Stockade.'' There are mentions of the stockade until at least 1848, although whether this actually references the gaol is unclear.
