Talk:Toodyay Convict Hiring Depot (1851)

Sections required
The article is quite long and should be broken up into sections. I considered keeping the first paragraph as a the lead section and then inserting section headings for: but there's no obvious point in the article where the "Depot" was actually built. It's not clear whether the initial straw huts were the depot. Mitch Ames (talk) 09:31, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Background [events leading up to the construction of the depot]
 * Construction [of the depot and barracks]
 * Closure and transfer to new site


 * Sections look good
 * 1852 looks like the date - check -

Article name
I'm not very keen on "First ..." in the article title. Toodyay Convict Hiring Depot (1851-1852) and Pensioner Guard Barracks (1851-1856) would be more specific, but: Suggestions welcome. Mitch Ames (talk) 09:57, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It seems a bit too wordy
 * I'm not sure of the timeline (see )
