	Planning work at Pentridge shuts down - theage.com.au
		The Pentridge Piazza group said the council was trying to use its heritage strategy to make future home owners at the site pay for the operation and upkeep of the museum.
		Pentridge Piazza spokesman Reg Macey said the development would not be viable if home buyers were asked to pay for the museum.
		He said unresolved problems at Pentridge were the legacy of the Kennett government sale process for the site in which developers were allowed to dictate the terms of the redevelopment.

	Pentridge, Dorset, England
		Pentridge on Cranborne Chase, like so many places on this hunting ground of old, is a little hamlet, hiding at the end of a lane off the Salisbury-Blandford road and is thus quiet and isolated, always in the shadow of Pentridge Hill.
		The village is often mistakenly said to be the birthplace of the Dorset poet, William Barnes, but his Pentridge, a small farm near Sturminster Newton, has long been obliterated from the map.
		The deep coombes on either side were probably formed in the Ice Age, when they would have been filled with snow for much of the year; freezing and thawing around these patches of snow would have enlarged the Ice Age hollows to their present size.

	Antique Arms, Inc. - Winchester 1873 SRC from Pentridge Prison
		The Pentridge prison was built in the 1850's....quite impressive with high granite walls with a tower with a large clock beside the front gate.
		Another commonality on the Pentridge guns are muzzle wear consistent with being laid against the granite walls of the prison.
		In addition to the Pentridge prison markings, this carbine also bears markings from the Melbourne Gaol (Gaol is the Aussie word for Jail) which was the local Jail located I believe on the South side of the Pentridge prison.

	History of Moreland Fact Sheet 7 - Pentridge Prison - Moreland City Council
		As a result of a greatly increased crime rate in Victoria due to the gold rush, the government decided to establish a number of penal stockades and also make use of abandoned ships.
		One of these stockades was set up at Pentridge (the old name for Coburg) to receive, in December 1850, sixteen prisoners from the overcrowded Melbourne Gaol.
		The southern part of the prison closed on 28 November that year and in 1999 the site was sold and is now being developed as housing estates, parklands and business precinct.

	Hybeam's inside job on Pentridge Prison
		Coburg's old Pentridge Prison is being transformed into an urban piazza precinct, a commercial and residential hub with people now eager to get in rather than out.
		The prison site was originally purchased by a group of investors in 1999, but it was the eventual developers, Pentridge Piazza, that had the vision of a mix of history and urban living.
		Their aim was to retain the unique story of the place while developing a new urban village that would appeal to both home buyers and tourists, converting the original buildings into quality apartments, shops and an educational facility over several stages.

		Convicts were sent from their detention on prison hulks to one of four stockades, Pentridge and Collingwood being the most important, as Richmond and Williamstown were only in operation between 1852-1855.
		It was not until 1859 that two schoolmasters were appointed to Pentridge and Collingwood, a library being introduced in the same period.
		Pentridge in the early 1850's was also of timber construction, but as plans were being made for a more permanent structure there, it was expected that Collingwood prisoners would be eventually transferred.

		A steam-engine drives a number of teasing and carding machines, which, in addition to the spinning jennies worked by the prisoners, furnish material for the manufacture of blankets and rugs which supply the hospitals and lunatic asylums.
		The numbers of people employed in the textile and clothing industry is difficult to define, as the use of outworkers had already become an established practice by the 1850s.
		In 1913, Victoria employed 58% of the total workers in the woollen and tweed mills in the country, and remained the centre of the industry through to 1930.

		The 1910 O S map shows the Pentridge tracks on their pr esent lines as unfenced tracks across Bockerley Down passing through the ditch in the same places as today.
		In 1973 the Pentridge Parish Council had recommended Byway for the continuation of Martin RUPP 5 because it was an old green lane and extended into Martin as a RUPP.

		We drove to Pentridge and parked on the village green, festive with buntings and flags.
		Which is how the ‘Pentridge Rising’ came to be mentioned in a book about the early days of the penal settlement in Australia.

		Treves was right enough, though, about the Pentridge connections of the family of the poet, Robert Browning, his earliest known forebears having lived in the parish, and being shown in the registers and other extant records to have been Churchwardens and Poor Law Overseers there.
		That was how it came about that, when staying the weekend in Pentridge in the autumn of 1930, Sir Vincent Baddeley found on the north wall of the little St Rumbold's Church there the marble tablet with the wording as recounted in Treves' guide-book to Dorset, completed by the further two lines as described above.
		An incensed Sir Vincent enlisted the support of the Churchwardens and Church Council of Pentridge in applying to the Chancellor of the Salisbury Diocese for a legal faculty to have the wording amended.

		Peter Norden SJ The bluestone walls of Pentridge Prison were designed to break the spirit of the strongest and most violent members of our community.
		When he reached Pentridge in 1956, he remarked that he was greeted by many of these familiar faces.
		Perhaps the clearest evidence of how Father Brosnan applied gospel values to what might appear from the outside as a ‘God free’ rather than ‘God fearing’ world is seen in his association with Ronald Ryan, the last man hanged in Australia in 1967, and the broad community campaign to defeat capital punishment.

		So, too, was the supposedly temporary penal stockade that had been opened late in 1850 at the outlying Melbourne hamlet of Pentridge.
		The Pentridge prison stockade was extended, old ship hulks were fitted out as floating prisons in the harbour, and three additional stockades were opened: at Collingwood, Richmond, and Williamstown.
		The site of the Collingwood Stockade was chosen by the government in January 1853, for the same reason as Pentridge had been: its bluestone deposits, which provided a ready source of hard labour for convict chain gangs.
