History

he Oval, as a place for recreation, has always occupied the same site being gradually improved by levelling and the construction of facilities. It was originally known as the Gingin Cricket Ground (c1900) and by 1908 had a good concrete cricket pitch. Railway excursions from Perth brought picnickers to enjoy themselves on the Oval. In 1964, the Oval was levelled and seeded and on the 21st of November that year, change rooms and a tea shed were opened. A large modem hall was erected in the early 1980's which caters for badminton, indoor cricket and other recreational activities having a kitchen and supper room, toilets and change rooms. A public swimming pool has been constructed to the south side which shares these amenities.

A central focus for tourists and historical displays.

History

The Gingin Brook immediately below the town bridge was partly closed and developed as a scenic pool with a weir to control the water level. Land around was grassed and barbeques and children's swings etc were installed This facility was officially opened on 17th April 1976. Water Wheel - the metal machinery and axle from the old wooden water wheel on Cheriton was brought to Granville Park and Mr. Frank Butler constructed a replica water wheel. The Shire constructed a water race and this remarkable wheel was installed. It turns constantly, demonstrating the enormous strength of this ancient form of power. The pump, which is driven by the water wheel, was designed and installed by Neil Butcher in 1984. It operates the fountain on the lily pond. Cheriton Arch - by 1978, all that remained of the home of W.L. Brockman of Cheriton was a stone arch, originally protecting the front door of the house. It was deteriorating quickly so the remaining limestone blocks were removed to the Park. On a site just to the north of the Granville Arts Centre, Mr. Paul Butler rebuilt the arch using as much of the original blocks as possible plus that which he shaped himself from local limestone. Pioneer Pavilion - the Pioneer Pavilion combines facilities for travellers with the commemoration of eariy settlers. It was opened on the 23rd April 2001.

Statement of Significance

Granville is a surviving example of the early development in Gingin townsite and associations with the community identity of the T J Jones and family, and the hospitality function of social significance and for the people who stayed there. The building set in the undulating grassed banks of Gingin Brook, featuring the water wheel, is a landmark in Gingin and makes a considerable contribution to the historic townscape.

Physical Description

The remaining building are likely remnants of the c.1860 and c.1971 buildings. Set in undulating park land sloping down to Gingin Brook to the north, the Weld Street frontage of the building has a gable wall and the expansive skillion shade structure. Behind that is the remainder of the "L" form plan. That evidences a gable to the north elevation with break pitch enclosure both sides.

History

Thomas James (T J) Jones lived in Weld Street and had Mr Cartmell build the hotel and residence over the road. South of the Gingin brook. The first structure was mudbat, two rooms facing Weld Street with services at the back and a cellar on the north side, operating as an inn and his residence. It is unsure if it was named Granville at that time. In 1869, the Government Gazette proclaimed the townsite named Granville, perhaps the Hotel was consequently so named. In December 1871, the town was proclaimed as Gingin. Jones had been pressured to construct an suitable building on the site as a condition of attaining the Inn keepers Licence in 1872. In c.1871 the southern wing comprising four large rooms was added, constructed in burnt bricks and corrugated iron. Liquor had been for sale for some time operating as the Granville Hotel (wayside inn). In 1885 T J Jones died and his son James Vigors Aldred (JVA) Jones took over with his wife Emma (Clinch). In 1893, (JVA) Jones was elected to the inaugural Gingin Road board (1893-1896, 1900-1901, 2001-2016, 2019,2020, 2023-2029) and the inaugural meeting was at the Granville Hotel. In c.1895 a detached brick and iron on the north side served as the kitchen, dining room and two bedrooms. On the south side of the brook was the orchard and vegetable garden that provided fresh produce to the hotel and Mrs Jones catering to the railway refreshment rooms. After JVA Jones death in 1929, the property was administered by WA trustees and sold over a number of years. The property change hands a few times until 1969 when the Gingin Shire purchased it, demolishing the north wing, and a rear veranda. The remainder was renovated as an Arts and Crafts Centre between 1978 and 2003. The Shire leases the building to the successful cafe operators. The Water wheel is a feature located at the edge of Gingin Brook that runs through Granville Park. A replica of the flour mill established at Cheriton Farm in 1855, the original axel was restored and relocated to this site by Frank Butler for the Shire in 1978. In 2012 members of Ginqin's Mens Shed rebuilt the timber section of the water wheel.

There was a cellar below the house, a scullery and outbuildings. It was licensed as a Public House in 1905. In July 1907, it was transferred to Clayton Edwards' son, Reuben, who converted it to a Bakery and General Store. In 1910 it was taken over by A. Lucraft, who did not use the Bakery. In December of 1914, a violent storm blew the roof off but this was replaced. In 1922 it was taken over by J.E. Prior. Between 1926 and 1939, it operated as a Bakery by H. White, F. Roberts, C P. Knight and E.G. Portwine for various amounts of time. When it was leased to Pearse Herbert in 1928, he installed a petrol pump on Weld St. In March 1943, the Hotel/Store was again unroofed by a storm and the top storey demolished. Ralph Hill re-roofed the lower stonewalls as a bungalow. The building has been extended to the front and north side and has served as a Garage and Service Station for many years.

Statement of Significance

This is the oldest survivng building in Gingin.

History

Swan Location 262 (10 acres) was purchased by Thomas James Jones in 1859. Mr. Jones built the mud bat section as a home for his wife and himself. Believed to have been run as a small Shop by Mrs. Jones after they built a better home called the Granville. It was used as a Schoolroom c 1870. Also in the 1870's Jack Bayneham used a verandah on the south side of the building as a Blacksmith's shop. In c1900, James Ernest Prior took over the shop. It was called 'Prior Bros. Store.' Mr. Bayneham was still the Blacksmith and lived in the building. In 1924 the Shop was taken over by Mr. Bradshaw and his assistant was Cyril Riley. Cyril along with his brother Joseph eventually took over. Mrs. Jones' cottage, which was still owned by J.V.A. Jones, was sold after his death to Martin Mullins in 1933. Mr. Mullins moved the shop fittings, widened the verandah and added a kitchen and lined the interior. Mr. & Mrs. Henry Ward (M. Mullins' daughter) moved from Mooliabeenie and lived there with their family until the 1980's. R.Withnell bought the property and built a new home between the Shop and the Brook and has partly renovated the old house.

In 1868 Thomas James Jones gifted part of Swan Location 262 for the Wesleyan Church. Charles Masters constructed the church, getting the clay for the bricks from the gully across Weld Street. After completion in 1870, visiting clergyman Reverend Mcinnes conducted the services. In 1897, the first resident missionary, Walter Prior, was appointed. The Reverend Henry Robins was the first ordained Minister appointed in Gingin. In 1914 the manse was constructed behind the church, facing Church Street, (demolished 1969) and there was a tennis court between the house and railway line Between c.1915-1919 sisters Elsie and Ruth Rudeforth were the appointed Ministers of the congregation as lay preachers. In 1953, Missioner Creagh left the district. He was the last resident Minister.

Statement of Significance

St Luke's Church, Cemetery and Belfry is significant as the first purpose-built place of worship in Gingin; and for close associations with European settlers of the Gingin district, some of whom are buried in the graveyard. The place is historically important as an example of a nineteenth century Anglican Parish Church, dating from the 1860s, set in a graveyard dating from the 1850s; and contributes to the community's sense of place as a reminder of the mid-nineteenth century development of the Ging in district and the role of religion in that development. The Church, belfry and cemetery area landmark in the setting of mature Cypress tress.

Physical Description

Located on the north bank of Gingin Brook, the church faces Weld Street, with an access on the north side as well, where the belfry is located. The Cemetery is located in the Weld Street frontage. A low Gothic picket fence surrounds the site. The Church is a simple rectangular form with entry porch at the west end. The steep gable roof is clad with shingles. The street frontage has a full stone gable wall with 3 stained glass windows in vertical format with gothic arched tops. A tall central window is flanked by two shorter windows. The sidewalls have steeped buttresses at regular intervals. The belfry is timber framed with a shingled hipped roof over. The path though the Cemetery from the road frontage splits in two to each side of the church.

History

In c.1860, the Crown allocated 12 acres of land (Pt Swan Location 265) to the Anglican Church. The stone for the church was quarried nearby. The original building did not include a vestry. A grant of 25 pounds was received on completion of the building. The Reverend George Bostock was the first chaplain, opening the church for divine service on 23 February 1861. In c.1862, Reverend George Sadler took over and built a home, remaining in Gingin until 1884. In 1862, the bell was brought from the government offices in Perth, for use by the church and the school that was utilising the church in the 1870s and 1880s. In 1899, there was concern regarding overcrowding the cemetery, and the proximity to the brook. In 1904 the Cemetery was closed except for those interred with relatives. There are many unmarked graves in the Cemetery.

Statement of Significance

The J.E. Wedge family have farmed Whakea', a part of the original Cheriton since 1895. Mrs Wedge was formerly Elizabeth Isabella Williams and they had three sons and six daughters. J.E. Wedge was a member of the Gingin Road Board for 14 years including nine years as Chairman. It is now owned by his grandson, Edward Wedge.

Physical Description

Approximately 350 yards form the Gingin Brook and seven kilometres from the townsite, off Cheriton Road. Mostly mud brick with a tin roof. There is a passage right down the centre and a fire place in nearly every room. The house has very high ceilings and a high pitch on the roof and verandahs almost all the way around. A brick section was added later - passage with 4 big rooms, bathroom and an extra 2 ft added to the height all around. The kitchen was enclosed off the south east corner. The house has not been lived in since 1955 when a new brick house was built nearby.

History

The original Cheriton Estate of W.L. Brockman was sold in 1889 and part of it was taken up by John Edgar Wedge who named the land where he lived, 'Whakea' in 1895. The eight-roomed house was built in 1901.

Statement of Significance

The Stock Route is highly significant to the cultural heritage of the Shire of Gingin and the State of W.A. in that is was the major thoroughfare for travellers and drovers to the northern districts before the Midland Railway was completed. It is especially significant to the Neergabby precinct as it passed over the Old Junction Bridge and provided the majority of the patronage for the Junction Hotel, adding to the social and economic vibrancy of the area.

Physical Description

The North West Stock Route (fmr) comprises the site of the former road which is within the boundaries of the City of Wanneroo. The entire stock route site extends from Wanneroo through to Walkaway. The Stock Route runs from Walkaway in the Shire of Greenough to Star Swamp at North Beach in the metropolitan area. Stockyards were built and wells sunk along the route for use by drovers and their travelling livestock.

History

One of the earliest and one of the most important Stock Routes in Western Australia, being the one that linked the metropolitan area with the Champion Bay district. For 44 years, from 1850 unitil the Midland Railway was completed in 1894, it was the route by which many thousands of sheep and cattle were driven north to stock the new wool growing and breeding stations, and southward to provide meat for the Metropolis. Hundreds of horses travelled it either carrying people or packs, drawing carts or buggies, or just being driven loose to the fields of their new labours. In its later years, great numbers of camels were taken along it to cart water for the Murchison Goldfields and of course all these animals had people to drive them and guide them, find water and feed for them and protect them from the poison plants along the way.
