Geocache Description:

Take some time to turn off Waterfall Way to have a picnic, explore Hillgrove village and learn some of its history. Hillgrove Hall has, in it's past, been the location of the original Mechanics Institute. 

Do the close neighbour a favour and minimise noise and torchlight if caching after dark. It might be better to approach GZ along the north side of the Hall.


The Mechanics Institute was a venue for multiple entertainments and education. It served as public meeting hall, function centre, library & technical education centre, billiard rooms, moving picture theatre and roller skating hall. These days it is still used for public meetings, functions and mining staff training/inductions.
