It’s hard to believe the #femalefactory isn’t already @UNESCO #WorldHeritage list, given Old Government House, Hyde Park Barracks & other sandstone prisons are listed. @parracity has the oldest buildings in Australia. It’s about time #westernsydney was recognised for that.
Once home to 1000s of prisoners, now set to be Sydney’s next museum. Why does it take $3m & a year to do a business case on turning the #heritage listed #femalefactory into a #museum More money for highly paid #consultants #parramatta @parracity https://t.co/ce3mveyJTc
@queenmcmeade @emfarrelly @Parramatta_News @LindaMorrissmh @BenFordham @2GB873 @ClrDonnaDavis @AustICOMOS @juliafinnMP @LyndaVoltzMP @Heritage_NSW Local and state neglect / corruption make #Parramatta the place where #heritage goes to die in #Australia. Our #culture, economy and local lives are diminished. Degradation of #femalefactory the next scandal... #Sydney
You can only be suspicious when the national heritage listing of the #parramatta #femalefactory was delayed after the heritage committee recommended its inclusion months before while the light rail DA was submitted in that period ….
My opinion piece in @smh
When UNESCO stripped UK Liverpool of its heritage status it confirmed fears that Parramatta’s modern day, short-sighted “visionaries” pushing for towers in North Parramatta leave our world heritage at risk of the same fate.

Both of these biographical subjects in the @Create_NSW-funded @stjohnsdatabase project were connected to the first AND second #Parramatta #FemaleFactory. Access their stories via https://t.co/NuThGTelFb #twitterstorians #crimehistory #OzHist
The #grave of Mary Cavillon & son Nicholas, St John's, #Parramatta. One arrived a #convict; the penal colony turned the other into one! Read @OldParramatta's "Homemaker, Housebreaker" & follow up with "A Hardened Villain" supported by @Create_NSW: https://t.co/xtq2YZ8Ycd #OzHist
Read all about the "forgotten" Scotch Martyr who became #Parramatta #FemaleFactory's very first superintendent in @DrCameronSmith's "He Was a Clever Chiel Geordie, Tae be Only a Weaver: #GeorgeMealmaker," supported by @Create_NSW: https://t.co/XhnpegFJY9 #OzHist #ScottishHistory
Not all women who died at the #Parramatta #FemaleFactory were convicts! Read @DrCameronSmith's latest @Create_NSW-funded piece for @stjohnsdatabase: "'The Indifferent Characters of Many of the Females': Mary Leeche & Colonial Controversy in the 1830s": https://t.co/m4B7Eg8kDf
@NthParraRAG @PCKJ3627 @GladysB Shame I spent 2 years helping to restore #femalefactory should have been a public space.
Parramatta is home to some of our state and countries most significant women’s history so you’d think our female premier @GladysB would be Patron to its future.
Instead #femalefactory is becoming a business centre and #willowgrove is to torn down from its 140 year old home.
While other parts of the world are tearing their institutions apart - just take a minute to reflect on why protecting our heritage is so important #savewillowgrove #savefemalefactory
#FrancisGreenway also designed the #Parramatta #FemaleFactory & @sydlivmus #HydeParkBarracks & many more. #StJohnsParsonage was his first major work in the colony & first complete house by a professional #architect in #Australia.
St John's Parsonage, #Parramatta. Read how our #FrancisGreenway-designed Georgian #parsonage became a pile of Edwardian rubble, by @OldParramatta. Full story here: https://t.co/s9WPuIbn5r #OzHist #heritage #architecture #demolition
The #Powerhouse Museum decision satisfies no one. #Parra deserves its own dedicated museum, not the lesser cousin of the established Ultimo museum and all its treasures. The world-heritage #FemaleFactory and Cumberland Hsptl site strikes me as the perfect sport for a new museum.
@strongcap @CFMEU_CG @GladysB @maasmuseum There is 30ha of state gov owned land just 950m away containing national heritage listed #femalefactory https://t.co/1Sn0e0ah0V and it DOES NOT FLOOD !!!
#heritagematters
@GladysB @RobStokesMP
Please require design for new #Powerhouse changed to #SaveWillowGrove It can be done
You said you wanted to but failed to insist
You are in charge
Behave as if you are & preserve this #ParraHeritage & #FemaleFactory
@NORTAG_Media #nswpol
A great man. RIP Jack Mundey.
But we need another, as we are fast becoming what he feared most and fought against thanks to #MadGladys & her mates the property developers.
Think #Parramatta, #WillowGrove, #StGeorgesTerrace #FemaleFactory & the 1810 pub all about to go!
#nswpol
Letters also sent to @parracity councilors and @RobStokesMP about the impact the light rail route in Parramatta will have on @UNESCO listing @nationaltrustau @AustICOMOS #parramatta #femalefactory @JulieOwensMP @ClrDonnaDavis
Congratulations to @pfffriends for achieving 10,000 signatures in @unesco553 petition for #Parramatta #FemaleFactory! To mark the moment, the Friends have organised this very special event: https://t.co/EOUajYzJ5n. Donations support @cwaofnsw activities in disaster affected NSW!
Now published on @femalefactoryOL, @McLarenJen's @Create_NSW-funded essay for @stjohnsdatabase on #Parramatta #FemaleFactory Matron Sarah Bell, which also tells the story of her husband, Factory keeper Thomas Bell: https://t.co/QReSnRyzZN #OzHist #twitterstorians #convicthistory
@JodiMcKayMP A national history museum on the site of the old #FemaleFactory - telling the truth about women, convicts, British Empire, imperialism, disposition of the locals, Invasion, white Australia????
Off to Sydney to work with the fabulous @Jaszodi and @OmegaEnsemble #premiere #songsofhome #femalefactory #australian #british #history #carbonoffset
This will particularly resonate with anyone writing their #familyhistory. @McLarenJen mentions her collaboration with #familyhistorians for her @stjohnsdatabase essay on Sarah Bell the matron of the Parramatta #femalefactory @femalefactoryOL
The wonderful @McLarenJen has written a blog post on the challenges associated with tracing the lives of women—particularly in colonial NSW. Some fantastic food for thought and methodological musings here! https://t.co/0697ihFOBb #ozhist
