SYRED'S COTTAGE, BEJOORDING
'Syred's' Cottage', Bejoording.
A coloured photo of part of a house and wooden post/rail fence and surrounding trees.
To the right of the gate opening is the front half of what is probably a 'Datsun' station wagon vehicle.
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.
