The Country Fire Service shed at Woolsheds is signed as Woolsheds-Wasleys. It is across the road from the former Woolsheds Methodist Church.

The church was originally in the Gawler then Gawler West Methodist circuits and later in the Hamley Bridge then Adelaide Plains Methodist circuits,^[3] but has been closed for many years. The church was built in 1875 as a Bible Christian chapel. It became Methodist on church union in 1901. The church (and hence the locality) received the name "woolsheds" due to it being near to the woolshed on a neighbouring property.^[4]
