Black & white photograph of Woodburn House
c. 1930Black and white photograph of a two-storey house and trees.
Woodburn House was built of local stone to the design of the architect Howard H. Evans in 1898. Costing £997, the house was built for William 'Peak Hill' Wilson, who was reputedly very wealthy, having made his fortune as a prospector, miner and founder of the Peak Hill Goldfields in Western Australia. Wilson's wife, Clara Maud Pead, was the grand-daughter of Corporal James Adlam, the paymaster for the Crimean War Pensioners, and this imposing residence was built in front of Adlam's cottage. The property was originally known as Woodburn after James Adlam's birthplace in England.
