Geocache Description:


Arranmore Gates

These gates once lead to the Oswald Coughlan residence, the original gates have 4 large bluestone pillars with iron gates opening to tree lined drive. The estate has now been turned into a housing estate and the gates are all that remain of the original homestead.

More Information

The gates and driveway are aesthetically and historically significant at a LOCAL level.
The gates, gateposts, flanking picket fence, central stone for fastening and adjacent mature trees, driveway at 80 Howe Street, Miners Rest are historically significant for the association with a substantial and affluent family farm and horse stud development in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The property is associated with three owners with prominent association in horse breeding and racing circles in Miners Rest and Ballarat, Harry Mount, Stephen Holgate and Oswald Coghlan.
