Constructed from 1888
The site has historic value for its associations with the developers of the site Barnard Drummond Clarkson and Charles Ellery and with the first occupant of the cottage John Donegan. The building has historic value as a demonstration of development in Toodyay in the late 1880's. The cottage is rare as one of only a few early 'worker's cottage' residences remaining in Toodyay that has been occupied continuously by one family, the Donegans. The restoration of the cottage by the community in the 1990's demonstrates its social value. The building has aesthetic value for its landmark quality, and as a demonstration of a simple vernacular worker's cottage.
Single storey simple mud brick cottage with iron hipped roof and open verandah around the building. Timber framed casement windows.
Barnard Drummond Clarkson (1836-1909) was associated with the beginnings of Toodyay in 1886 when he loaned the land, this site, to the cricket club. The cricketers and footballers formed and athletics club and purchased the cricket ground. In 1887 Clarkson surveyed land around the recreation ground into one acre blocks and sold them at twenty pounds each. In 1888, Charles George Ellery (1854-1937), the boot-maker, erected three cottages on the lots and established fruit trees and gardens around them. They were the first three houses built on the north side of the river. The subject property was occupied by James Donegan, a local mail and goods carrier. Family members lived in the house until 1993. The cottage was restored in 1997-8.

Ruins of former red brick building. No discernible architectural features remain but ground plan of the structure remains intact. Additional stone ruins within close proximity.
James Drummond, botanist and plant collector, was the first settler in the Toodyay Valley, after selecting Location U4 in 1836 and taking up his grant in 1838 after coming to the colony as part of Stirling's official party. James, his second son, settled on the property and built a cottage. James was the agent for the adjoining property owners, the Andersons, and received a portion of 'Mt Anderson' land adjoining 'Hawthornden', known as 'Mill Farm' in return. the first church service at the Drummond's horse drawn mill was conducted in 1848 by Bishop Short to a gathering of 80 people and three children were baptised. In 1856 the steam powered mill was built and milling commenced in January 1857. The same year James Drummond Jnr. married Martha Sewell and they lived in 'Vine Cottage'. A cottage at 'Mill Farm' was used as a school in the 1860's. In 1872, floods destroyed the miller's house at the mill and the mill was threatened.

James, his second son, settled and built a cottage on the property while being an agent, and subsequently getting part of Anderson’s adjoining property he called ‘Mill Farm’. In the 1840s the 3000 acres was insufficient to graze their stock and a depasturing licence was granted for the Toodyay townsite, and pastoral leases north at the Moore River were managed by the youngest son Johnstone on the outstation. He was killed by natives in 1846. Sandalwood licences in the late 1840s. Struggling by 1849.

In 1857, J jnr married Martha Sewell. In 1864, James Drummond junior took over Hawthornden, moving from ‘Mill Farm’ when his father died. He had the two store homestead and other buildings constructed at the time. In 1867, the home was the venue for the wedding of his nephew Barnard Clarkson who married Isabella Lukin. In 1870, when Dan Connor established his mill in Newcastle, Drummond was the leading miller and agriculturalist in the Toodyay Valley. He tried to revive the idea of breeding remount horses for the Indian army. In 1870, he was elected as the Toodyay member of the first representative Parliament. He was also a member of the Victoria Plains Roads Board which he resigned to be an inaugural member of Toodyay Road Board in 1871. After fighting fires at Hawthornden, and catching a chill, he died within a week in 1873. After his death all the properties were sold to repay creditors. James older brother Thomas was the surviving executor, and sold off the properties during a time of economic depression. Dan Connor bought Hawthornden in 1874 and the north portion of Mt Anderson which Drummond owned, making him the largest landowner in the district.’

The site has research value as it has potential to contain subsurface archaeological remains. The site has historic value for its association with the settlement of the area in the 1910's and 1920's. The site has social value for its association with the provision of education in the Ten Mile Hill area.
No evidence remains.
In November 1912 a deputation of parents from the ten mile hill area met with an Education Department representative to discuss establishing a school and to inspect the chosen site. The result was the recommendation that a school be built and it was suggested that the Jimperding School be moved to Ten Mile Hill, although this was unsuitable. In February 1913 approval was given for a new school and building was completed in July 1913. The school opened on 1 September 1913 with eight Chitty children, three Sinclairs and three Markeys. In 1925 attendances fell below the required eight students and the school closed. The building was relocated to Corondeen.

Toodyay-Clackline Railway Formation and its associated structures, is a relatively intact narrow gauge spur railway formation, which linked Toodyay (formerly Newcastle), an important Avon Valley centre, to the Eastern Railway. Notable extant and remnant features along the formation are: Clackline Rail Bridge, Clackline Road Bridge, Ringa Rail Bridge, Clackline Railway Station & Station Master's House ruins, Lawsnwood Siding, Nannamullen Siding, Hoddy Well Siding, McGuire's Siding, Coorinja Siding, Ringa Siding, Key Farm Siding, Lloyds Crossing, and Newcastle (Toodyay) Terminus remains, together with the remains of various culverts and embankments to address the topography of the route.
Established in 1886, the spur line was extended to Bolgart in 1908, and replaced in the 1960s with the standard gauge.
In 1999 the condition of the route was considered to be structurally sound although management strategies, particularly leasing sections for agricultural and other uses, has had some impact on remnant fabric.

Constructed from 1887
The place has historic value as it demonstrates the government policy of the late 19th century which encouraged settlement in rural areas by facilitating the transport of goods. This major infrastructure project in the Avon Valley is one aspect of this policy. The place is a comparatively intact surviving example of a narrow gauge spur railway formation through difficult terrain, and is uncommon because of notable surviving original structures, such as Ringa Rail Bridge and the original culverts. The place is associated with Millar Brothers who were significant contributors to the construction industry in Western Australia. The place has aesthetic value as it traverses difficult and scenic terrain and uses structures and formations to address and maintain topographical features.
In sections, the Clackline railway formation is relatively intact and clearly discernible whilst other sections of the route have been lost where roads have been built over the track and through change of land use. The rails have been removed but some sleepers upon which the rails were attached can still be found in places, either in situ or close by the original track route. Within the Shire, earth embankments, culverts, cuttings and sidings are still evident at various places along the rail line.
During the 1870's the need for a railway line through the Avon Valley and into the agricultural areas was becoming more apparent. In 1884, the railway line from Guildford to Chidlow opened and as a result of much lobbying, the line was extended to Spencers Brook, with branches to York in 1885 and Northam in 1886. A spur line from Clackline to Toodyay was favoured over a branch line being a shorter route. Construction of the line between Clackline and Toodyay began in 1886. The route was through hilly terrain and it was necessary to construct many cuttings and embankments to facilitate the grades of railway line. The line opened on 3 January 1888 after a trail run the previous December with Governor Broome aboard. In 1908 the line continued northwards from Toodyay to Bolgart. In 1966 the railway line was decommissioned.

A stone marker with plaque marks the spot of the school. No building evidence remains. The building was only in existence for a short period of time.
After the Bolgart Estate was established in 1906 and with the railway through from Toodyay in 1909, a new community was established in the Wattening area. The main families on the area were the Camerers and the Ludemans. The Wattening settlers soon required mail and educational services. In 1912 the timber Temperance Hall was constructed and was used as a school, church and community meeting place. Town picnics were a popular event. The materials from this demolished hall were used to build the Bolgart Hall.

Constructed from 1900
The place has historic value through its association with early settlers in the district, the Syred family. The homestead is a good representative example of a homestead of the 1900 period.
A painted stone, brick and tiled house in an asymmetrical 'L' shape plan with projecting gable bay with a brick gable, red brick quoining and window dressings. Verandah running along the main section of the house. The verandah posts are square based with Corinthian columns on top. Timber sash windows.
Bejoording was a gazetted town site in 1836 although no one lived there until 1859. It was a working man's village designed like an English hamlet where all the plots had access to the central common and water supply. The first applicant for land was J. Thomson in 1856. He married Sarah Syred, but didn't live there. SArah's brother William Syred was the first Bejoording settler followed by other members of the Syred family, including his brother Charles, who bought two lots in 1858. Charles did not build on those lots but two generations later his namesake Charles Syred settled here. This place is associated with the establishment of the Bejoording townsite. The homestead is believed to have been constructed c.1900, and it was noted at about this time that the homestead was a 'fine six-roomed dwelling and the various outbuildings are all built and arranged in a methodical manner'. (Twentieth Century Impressions, p. 707)

No definitive site was found but masonry rubble was located within the vicinity of the smith that may be the remains of the earlier structure.
Alex Ferguson was a Guildford blacksmith who came to Toodyay and built a mud brick house in the late 1840's on Water's property 'Barn Elms'. He built beside a track that crossed the Toodyay Brook and it was there that Bishop Salvado bought his plough shares to be sharpened.

A mudbrick, timber, stone and red brick and iron dwelling which has been extended. There are verandahs to front on both sections and weatherboard and stone elevations to rear with verandahs. The roof is hipped with gablets. Red brick chimneys. The timber verandah posts have decorative brackets. There is evidence of insect damage in the mudbricks in the outhouse.
The property was originally part of Governor Stirling's grant 'Deepdale'. Edgar Taunton Loviebond, from the Adelaide Hills, acquired the site and made the bricks for the house and barn on site. The slope in front of the house was terraced with lawns and 300 roses. When Brett Collett returned from World War Two he and his family bought the property and grew vines, but due to temperance beliefs did not make wine. Subsequently the mudbrick barn disintegrated. Between 1946 and 1973 the vineyards were still productive and dried currents and dried fruit were marketed. in 1974, Collett died and the property was sold.

The place is a good example of a Victorian Georgian architectural style brick homestead in a rural setting.
The place is associated with the development of the Toodyay district and the surrounding areas.
The place is associated with John Septimus Roe who gifted the land to James Staunton for finding water.
The place is associated with Lionel Lukin who established and orange grove on the land.
The Shire of Toodyay Municipal Inventory (2010) states: 'Front and side elevation of two storey appearance but is single storey with under-croft, taking into account the change in topography. The surrounding deep verandahs with simple timber balustrades, accessed by centrally placed steps to main elevation and side steps. The house is of red brick construction, with stone plinth and rendered cellar walls. The roof is a complex system with hips, gables and gambrel styles with a projecting gable over part of the verandah, metal roof interspersed with clear Perspex panels. Red brick chimneys. Mix of timber framed sash, casement and French windows. Timber outbuilding being constructed within close proximity to the house and additional barn to the rear. Distant from the house and close to the access gate is a collection of outbuildings, all of which have been restored. The mudbrick outbuilding has gabled iron roof, timbered gable ends, deep open verandah to one elevation extending the full width of the property. Adjacent is a further smaller mudbrick outbuilding with timber infilling replacing damaged mudbricks. Pitched iron roof. The weatherboard shearing shed is an extensive range that has been adapted for use as accommodation. 'L' shaped layout with gabled roofs and is of weatherboard, mudbrick and iron construction. Verandah with simple colonial style criss-cross balustrading to the higher section and is open where level with the ground.' The mudbrick outbuildings comprise examples of adobe and pise. The homestead and outbuildings have been extensively redeveloped, including the adaptive reuse of the outbuildings.
The Shire of Toodyay Municipal Inventory states: ‘Governor Stirling selected Avon Location 3 in the Toodyay Valley. Within Deepdale (Avon Location 3) a small 200 acres location was granted to a soldier James Staunton who had accompanied J.S. Roe’s explorations. Roe had reputedly offered 200 acres for anyone finding water, which Staunton did. Lionel Lukin a British engineer formerly serving in the Russian Army, signed 6 servants who included William Lyred (Bejoording) and his wife, and sailed for the Swan River Colony. In 1837, Lukin’s sister married Rev. Charles Harper. Satisfactory settlement of Lukin’s dispute resulted in his being allotted Stirling’s Deepdale grant. In 1830, Thos Cook, a yeoman farmer, came to the Colony. He claimed to have put in the first crop at Deepdale. Lionel Lukin established an orange grove although he spent years away from the property as the Superintendent of Convict Prisoners at Swan. One of his Deepdale tenants, William Carroll, expanded a piggery. Part of Deepdale’s rich land on the river flat was sold to Lukin’s friend Chandos Pole whose oranges were declared the best in the district. In 1863, Lukin died and was buried on a knoll overlooking the homestead.’ ‘The homestead was almost lost during a three-day fire when the Army was called in to control it.’ Lionel Lukin was also the Superintendent of the Hiring Depot at Toodyay. The homestead is believed to have been built in 1852 with convict Ticket-of-Leave labour, however further research is required to verify this.

Constructed from 1850
The homestead complex has aesthetic value as the built elements form a visually cohesive farm group in a treed setting. The homestead has aesthetic value as an example of a substantial residence from the 1850's. The place has historic value for its association with Governor Stirling and Lionel Lukin and the extended Lukin family. The place is of historic value as one of the first farms established in the district and for its continuity of use since the 1830's.

Governor Stirling selected Avon Location 3, later Deepdale. Within this selection a 200 acre location was granted to James Staunton, a soldier who had accompanied JS Roe's explorations. Lionel Lukin, a British engineer, sailed for the Swan River Colony in 1830 but had a dispute with Stirling before he arrived. Lukin was allotted Stirling's Deepdale's selection as settlement of this dispute. He planted an orange grove but spent many years away from the property as Superintendent of Convict prisoners at Swan. In 1863 Lukin died and was buried on a knoll overlooking the homestead. It is likely that the existing homestead was built c1852 with convict labour when Lukin was the Superintendent of the Hiring Depot in Toodyay. The homestead was located on higher ground and centrally located in the property. The Lukin family owned the property into the 20th century and during their ownership several outbuildings, including the shearing shed, were constructed adjacent to the homestead. In the 2000's the property has been redeveloped by the current owners. The existing buildings have been retained but substantially altered with changes of functions for the outbuildings and major additions to the homestead.
