House 110 (Lot 352) Shannon Street, Cardiff, a simple cottage constructed of weatherboard and corrugated iron, has cultural heritage significance for its aesthetic contribution to the Cardiff streetscape.
110 Shannon Street, Cardiff is a typical timber and iron worker’s cottage. The roof is hipped and clad in short sheet corrugated iron, with a separate verandah to the front and a skillion to the rear. The walls are weatherboard, with some fibrous cement to the side. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary. Shade cloth and vegetation makes further description of the house from the street difficult.
Mining leases were being taken up in the Collie Cardiff area from January 1900.
In October 1900, The Inquirer and Commercial News described Collie Cardiff as having an area of 6,000 acres and that ‘over 1,000 ft of boring has been done upon it and some good seams of coal have been struck, but it has not yet reached the producing stage”.
The need for a townsite was clear by 1902 and a town named Collieburn (sometimes Collie-Burn), mid way between the Collie Burn and Collie Cardiff coal mines was gazetted in 1907. By 1915, the need for land was closer to Collie Cardiff and the Cardiff Progress Association sought to change the name to Cardiff which was approved only for the southern portion of the town which became Collie-Cardiff. The northern portion continued to be known as Collie-Burn. In 1944 the names were changed to Collie Cardiff and Collie Burn.
Lot 352 is shown on an unnamed street on a 1912 plan of the Collie-Burn and Collie-Cardiff townsites. Collie-Cardiff appears in the Wise Post Office Directories from 1908, appearing later as Collie Cardiff. Street names are not provided.
