SYRED'S COTTAGE BEJOORDING PIG YARD
c. 1920 - 1929A black and white photo of the pig yard at Syred's Cottage, Bejoording.
The roof of the former school house (now demolished ) is in the centre background. To its right and also in the background is the smoke house / killing room
To the left is a galvanised iron tank on its side.
A wooden railing fence (a 'Harper fence) and picket gate to the front.
In the foreground is one large dark pig and six light piglets.
A high fenced area (chook yard?) is to the right behind the gate, as is a half upturned tank (pig shelter).
Syred's cottage was the home of William Edward Syred and Frances (nee Martin).
Constructed of mud brick around 1860, extensions were gradually added to the original three roomed construction, to accommodate the couple's ten children.
"Batty" Fowler, a local builder who excelled in making mud 'bats', undoubtedly assisted in the building of the cottage.
The stone front verandah slabs were hewn from the granite rock behind the cottage and the mud bricks were made near the spring.
