This site in Morpeth is of historical significance to the colony of New South Wales, as the first bakehouse in this newly established river port. Built in the 1830s, the shopfront and residence was one of the first allotments and buildings in the Morpeth township. Approximately 20 years later the historic bakehouse was built, which was once the home and workplace of the Arnotts.
The adjoining ‘roomy yard’ on the property housed the large stables.
This c.1850 bakehouse, a rare and authentic industrial building is now fully restored and is said to host the oldest original Scotch oven in Australia.
Don’t forget the sourdough bread-making classes that are offered in a fun and interactive setting. Whether you’re a beginner or have some baking experience, the class is designed to enhance your skills and deepen your understanding of the sourdough process.
Join in for a delightful day of kneading, shaping, and learning as you create your own delicious sourdough from scratch. Reserve your spot today and embark on a journey into the world of sourdough making.
