SYRED'S COTTAGE, BEJOORDING
Coloured photo of side view of cottage.
Tall red brick chimney is seen to the centre of wall & below which is a metal drum lying on ground.
The white galavanised iron roof extends to a joining roof & another building, nearby which is a large shrub & what appears to be a log trough.
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.
In 1897 a mud bat school was built near the house and used for a short time.
