SYRED'S COTTAGE, BEJOORDING, 1920S
1920 - 1929A copied black and white photo of Syred's Cottage which is a mud brick building with corrugated iron roof.
In front of the building is a garden and a fence of wooden posts and rabbit proof wire netting in which is a metal garden gate.
A small outbuilding is to the left of the house (formerly the school house) and a tall tree and small shrub between.
A severely pruned tree is to the right of the phoot, in friont of the cottage.
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.
