York Cemetery has considerable historic value as the burial place of many pioneering European settlers in York - the first inland town established in the Swan River Colony, and is the fourth oldest colonial cemetery in continuous use in Western Australia. It has aesthetic value for the range of designs, skills and materials evidenced in the collection of monuments, palisades, railings and funerary elements in the picturesque setting on the side of Mt Brown.
The York Cemetery was originally on an a six acre subdivision allocated in 1874 divided into Anglican (the southern third), and four other denominations that were allocated the other two thirds. York Cemetery has since been extended eastward, doubled in size with the newer eastern section being a little larger than the original allotment.
The site of St John’s Anglican Church and Cemetery served as a multi-denominational cemetery from 1842 until 1874. The York Cemetery was allocated in 1874 and divided into five denominations. In the 1930s, a new section of land was acquired to the east. The cemetery was redesigned with a slight realignment of the front boundary fence, some internal roads, a new entrance and the relocation of some graves. Some remediation of the water runoffs was undertaken. At a later stage, a toilet block and then a rotunda, dedicated in 1990, with niches to take cremation urns, were built and a lawn planted near the rotunda.

In 1871, the York Road District and the Municipality of York were gazetted as two separate entities. On 1 July 1961, they became respectively the Shire of York and the Town of York under the Local Government Act 1960. The two entities merged on 15 March 1965 to become the Shire of York. In 1995 the Shire of York’s Administration offices were constructed adjacent to the iconic York Town Hall and on the other side the imposing Freemasons Lodge. The design was contemporary and caused some controversy at the time.

York Masonic Lodge (fmr) is significant for its association with the Oddfellows (1887- 1891), and the York Masonic Lodge No. 5, established in 1866 and utilised the building from 1891 to 2018. It is an important historical memorial to the role of benevolent societies in rural Western Australia and it contributes to the community’s sense of place through its association with four generations of Freemasonry families in York. The impressive two-story rendered and face stone building it is a fine representative example of the application of the Victorian Academic Classical architectural style in a rural town, of which there are few remaining examples, and makes a considerable contribution to the historic aesthetic of York’s townscape.
The imposing two storey stone building has a full height frontage and parapet on the zero lot line. The remainder of the exterior is face stone. The render and stucco frontage is symmetrical with a central double entry flanked by single double-hung sash windows, all openings arched, and the first floor vertically aligned with the equally spaced windows and entry. The decorative cornice at the top is bracketed, supporting the decorative flat arched pediment that has a central floral decoration.
The building was commissioned by the Independent Order of Oddfellows of York and the foundation stoned was laid by Mrs J.R.M. Thompson on 18 May 1887. The first Freemason’s Lodge in York was founded in 1866 within the English constitution. When the Grand Lodge of Western Australia was established, York Masonic Lodge No. 5 West Australian Constitution (WAC). They have used the building since 1891 and owned it since 1926 until its sale in 2018. The Masonic Hall has served continuously for the entirety for the purpose for which it was built as Lodge Rooms and a public hall. As such, some four generations of York families have close links with the building. James William Wright (b.1854) educated at Kings College, London, came to Australia (SA) in 1874, and to WA in 1881 for a contract for the railway buildings between Guildford and Chidlow Wells. In 1884, he established his own practice, and in 1886, was joined by Thomas Walker Lloyd Powell (1864-1947). Wright was one of the Partners in Powell Wright and Cameron who designed the 1911 York Town Hall.

Residence, 16 Knotts Road, represents an early dwelling in the Victorian Georgian style, located at the southern end of Blandstown, that makes a contribution to the historic townscape of the Blandstown precinct
The single storey masonry residence has a low-pitched hipped roof that breaks pitch over a hipped skillion veranda supported by square timber posts.
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.

Chinamans’ Cottage and Market Garden is significant for the association with the Chinese brothers Lee Lee Chong and Lee Wan Chong who established and worked the market garden on this site for over sixty years, representing a way of life no longer practiced that contributes to the history of York.
A single storey cottage with a pavilion gable roof break pitch along the front veranda with a two-storey addition. There is no obvious evidence of the market garden
In 1901, brothers Lee Lee Chong and his young brother Lee Chan Chong arrived in Western Australia and worked in market gardens in Osborne Park before moving to York a few years later. They lived in a shack on corner of Water Street and Avon Terrace for 3 years, and moved to corner of Bland and Ninth Ave before moving to the two-roomed cottage (in what is now called Lee Cres) where they tended their market garden sending produce to Perth and generously providing local residents. There was no electricity or plumbing in the cottage and very basic facilities, although the previous occupant had installed a septic tank toilet. They worked hard, played dominoes and gambled. They played for high stakes in a Domino Club in Perth where they regularly frequented. They were bankrupt in the 1950s and were unable to return to China (ot leave Australia) on one of their visits due to their debt to the Taxation Office. In 1974, the younger brother was in ill health and required extended care nursing. In 1975, the Lee brothers returned to China for good. At that time the eldest was 102, and the younger 95 years old. It was great news at the time; that they were accepted back into China, and was the subject of West Australian newspaper reporters. The Chung Wah Association organised a farewell for the brothers. In 1984 Ken Sue, President of Chung Wah Association visited Lee Lee at his home in a small village of Hung Kay, Toi Shan Island near Shanghai off the coast of Chekiang Province. The elder brother was in excellent health, although blind, partially deaf and in need of assistance to walk- he was 112 years old. Li Hong Shu (grandson) advised when Lee Lee had passed away on 19 April 1985.

26586 Central York Heritage Area
York Swing Bridge represents a link across the Avon River since 1906 with many interventions over time until this reconstruction in 1989. It remains an important pedestrian link that complements the picturesque recreational area along the west bank of the Avon River along Lowe Street.
A suspension foot bridge with steel cables and timber decking spanning the Avon River between Low Street and Pool Street, linking the commercial centre of the town with the Holy Trinity Church.
The first suspension bridge was erected before the turn of the nineteenth century. It was located where the central bridge is now located. The existing bridge built in 1906 has collapsed on many occasions due to floods. On the west bank adjacent to the bridge is the site of the town swimming baths where in 1900 Council bylaws prohibited man and women swimming together, providing set times for each gender. The Bicentennial project funded a reconstructed new bridge in 1989, in place of the original that officially closed in October 1984 and was demolished in 1987.

Residence, 30 Macartney Street is a significant Victorian Georgian architectural style residence that demonstrates a relatively uncommon example of a reverse-tone (dichromatic) Flemish bond brickwork that contrasts the stretchers with the dark brick forming a distinctive pattern that differs from the usual dark header in the reverse-tone style. Individually and together with identical residence at number 26, and the residence of the same period at number 28 Macartney Street, number 30, makes a contribution to the historic townscape of York.
The modest scale residence is set close to the road with a picket fence on front boundary fence and a hedge behind. The residence is elevated with a central set of steps. Single storey with a simple hipped roof and separate hipped skillion perimeter veranda supported by slender round steel posts with lace brackets. The front wall is detailed in reverse-tone Flemish bond brickwork that has been rendered to dado height. The reverse-tone is of particular interest as the pattern has dark contrasting stretchers rather than the usual reverse tone that has dark-toned headers. The symmetrical frontage has a central front door flanked by single multi-paned double-hung sash windows.
