Hi, Is there any pictures or maps of Cascades as it was when it was a prison. Regards Carol Melbourne Australia

Hello Carol There are some images and some architectural drawings. A good resource, though, to get a good idea of the layout and function of the site is Lucy Frost's book 'Footsteps and Voices' which is available from the Female Factory (see http://www.femalefactory.com.au/shop.htm). There are also some images of the factory on the Female Factory Historic Site website - for example, see http://www.femalefactory.com.au/index.htm, http://www.femalefactory.com.au/gaol.htm and http://www.femalefactory.com.au/timeline.htm (these images are taken from 'Footsteps and Voices'. Also, if you go to the AOT site at http://resources.archives.tas.gov.au/archphotos/Searchmenu.asp? and type 'female factory' in the Description field you will get some images of Cascades.
