Statement of Significance

Clementine Cottage, is an historically significant intact c.1860s dwelling on the important early route of Redmile Road to and from Balladong Farm, and across Parker’s Bridge to the Pensioner Guard establishment. It makes a contribution to the historic townscapes of the Blandstown precinct, and of the town of York.

Physical Description

The single storey face brick cottage has a simple hipped roof. A separate skillion roof covers the front veranda and west side veranda supported by square timber posts. The front is symmetrical with central door flanked by single double-hung sash windows.

History

After York was opened for selection in 1830, the first settlers, arrived in 1831 from the Swan River settlement with the task of establishing a Government Farm. Balladong Farm was settled in 1831 by William Heal, later H. Bland after whom Blandstown is named. Stephen Stanley Parker had arrived in the Colony with his parents in 1830. After marrying Elizabeth Sewell in 1844 he purchased Balladong Farm in 1848. During the 1850s, Parker developed the property into a very successful farm. The “village” now known as Blandstown, the oldest privately settled part of the York town, developed around Balladong Farm due to the influential presence, water supply, and the river crossing.
Balladong farm’s original entry was off Redmile Road across Heals Bridge that was close to the Avon River (Parker’s Bridge) crossing to access the pensioner Guard establishment, Redmile House (trading post) and along Redmile Road to Avon Terrace (Great Southern Highway).
