Tunbridge - Places to See

Historic Buildings
Tunbridge Manor is at the centre of town and dominates the townscape. Other buildings of importance include the Colonial Homestead was built in 1820, the Tunbridge Wells Inn (now closed down), The Victoria Inn (outside is a sandstone roller used to roll the roads by the convicts), the Coaching Stables (1843), The Blind Chapel (now the Masonic Hall and reputedly 'blind' - no windows - on one side so the parishioners didn't have to look at the local pub, and Bowerman's General Store (a handsome two-storey Georgian building with a five bay facade and slim columns)

Tunbridge Convict Bridge
Built in 1848 it is the oldest single span bridge in Australia. It spans the Blackman River at the northern end of the town. It is particularly important as it is a rare example of a sandstone bridge with timber decking.
