Richard Cockram and his family emigrated from England in 1850 and it is estimated that he came to Gingin with his brother-in-law, Thomas Buckingham, in 1854. They worked together to build pug walled houses and barns for Gingin settlers. Richard and his five sons lived and worked around Gingin though they had other interests in Perth and Wanneroo. The Cockram's built a two storey Hotel north of the Lennard's Brook crossing in the 1860's on the Gingin side of Lennard's Brook where the abattoir now stands Edmund Oxen Cockram, son of Richard, held a Publican's Licence in 1870 and the building was known as the Gingin Hotel The Hotel was partially destroyed by fire in 1886 and rebuilt as a single storey home by Ephraim Cockram and did not operate as a Hotel after this time. The property remained in the Cockram family until 1924 when it was sold to Thomas McCormick, then K Parsons, then to Mr. Harley. The roof blew off in a 1943 storm and a cottage was built nearby. Parsons removed the remaining mud bat and built a new brick and tile home near the site of the hotel. It is now owned by Mr N. Borrello who has constructed an extensive abattoir on the land
