An important part of the early settlement in Gingin. Many styles of house construction are evident here.
An area of high land within a bow of the Gingin Brook. Originally, a semi-permanent camp of the Aborigines When Police were stationed here, a fence across the narrowest part of the land provided a safe place for horses, hence the alternative name The Police Paddock'.'The Horseshoe' refers to the general shape of the land. During the 1860's, the police had erected some 1552 chains of two rail Mahogany (Jarrah) fencing, Jarrah posts and Red Gum rails. This could be approximately where Daw St and Edgar St now lie. The Police Paddock was not included in the original Town site but a plan of suburban lots was published in 1899. The first were three or four-acre lots all with Brook frontage, and intended for orchard, vineyards or market gardens. The remainder of The Horseshoe was divided into lots later. Sub Lot 36 of 15 acres was designated a commonage. The present day Primary School was built on it in 1964. The Horseshoe is gradually being subdivided. The first landowners had extensive orchards and market gardens irrigated from the Brook. It has been largely subdivided though gardens and orchards still exist A continuum of housing styles can be seen from mud bat of the 1800's to modern brick and tile homes.

A very large 'cypresses sempervirens' tree remains, probably planted at the same time as those in the St. Luke's Churchyard.
The Good Templars' Hall was the first public use building in Gingin. A branch of the 'Order of Good Templars', known as Cheriton Lodge 19, was formed in Gingin in 1875, largely at the instigation of Henry Brockman They built a Hall of baked clay bricks, the day obtained from a gully at the rear of the block. T.J. Jones donated land. It was formally opened in June of 1879. Corrugated iron was used for additions. The Hall was used for Roads Board meetings, dances and other social events. It served as the local Schoolroom from the mid 1880's until a new School was built in 1895. In October 1925, the Roads Board decided to demolish the Hall as the Temperance organisation was virtually disbanded and the Hall in disrepair. Some of the materials were used by Richard Masters to build a house at Dee Swamp. A house was built there for the Shire Clerk in 1967 and later purchased by Mr N.H.V. Wallace.

Constructed from 1862
The masonry was mud bat plus limestone and ironstone with floors of sawn timber blocks. The roof was shingled. The main house consisted of three rooms, living and bedrooms, a separate kitchen and store rooms, dairy with cellar below, stables, cowsheds and an underground fresh water tank, etc.
In 1862, 23 acres were surveyed for W.S. Dewar. He married Emma York of Creaton. A flourishing farm establishment once stood here as attested by a watercolour painting owned by descendants. The home was built on the bank of a winter stream, which flows through the Dewar flats. John York, who was William's father-in-law, built the house, presumably in 1862. Part of the old house was used as a Schoolroom for several years c 1903. The whole establishment was completely burnt out by a disastrous fire in 1914. It had not been occupied for some time. The property was transferred to W.G. (Gladstone) Dewar, grandson of W.S. Dewar and is now owned by his daughter, Marion Bird. Biddaminnie School - In 1903 The Education Department received a petition from settlers north of Gingin re the establishment of schools at Biddaminnie (W.A. Dewar's home on SL 183) and Bootine. The old homestead was not occupied and a Schoolroom was prepared by opening a doorway in the end room of the old kitchen. In approximately 1908, this School operated (half time) with Bootine until 1909, when due to poor attendances both schools were operated from Biddaminnie.

Constructed from 1886
Gingin Post Office is significant as a rare example of the Colonial Government's post office building program and is the oldest extant purpose built post office in Western Australia. It represents the vigorous lobbying by the Gingin community for its construction and the associated connection to the telegraph line from Perth to Geraldton. It represents the complementary association between police and postal service in the early development of public facilities. The residence demonstrates the role and lifestyle of the postmaster at the time.
The masonry building faces Constable Street in an elevated position overlooking the town. The building is domestic in scale and design. The frontage is symmetrical with two protruding bays rooms with faceted bay windows flanking the central entry. The hipped tiled roof continues over the central entry with gablets to the flanking elements. Additions on both sides of the frontage have break pitch skillion extensions of the main roof.
The first mail service to Gingin (at WL Brockman's property) was in 1853 on the Champion Bay route. In 1854 John York set up post office at Creaton, becoming the first post master and Registrar, until 1863. Mrs Tyler, the policeman's wife, and school mistress who lived near the police paddock in the establishing town, became post mistress, and in 1864 John Cockram was contracted for the monthly mail delivery. In 1881 Mrs Hackett was Postmistress, with mail distributed through the Police station. Tenders for the Post Office quarters were called on 20 August 1886. It was constructed by Chas Smith on Police reserve land next to police station. Officially opened on 28 October 1886. Mr and Mrs Hackett resided there 1893-1914 with Mrs being the Postmistress and Mr being the police officer (until 1893). George Temple Poole was the Government Architect of the period, and his design influence is evident in Gingin Post Office and the other six that were built to the same design in that period; Pingelly, Narrogin, Wagin, Katanning, Broomehill, Mt Barker.

Constructed from 1903
A unique part of the Gingin shopping centre.
A quaint cottage in the centre of the Gingin shopping area, surrounded by a very attractive garden. In 2010 Tom and Angela Cabassi replaced the roof tiles and renovated the interior almost back to original.
The cottage was built c 1903 by the owner, William Philbey. Mr. Philbey, who was the Roads Board Secretary at the time, quarried, carried in his wheelbarrow and laid the limestone blocks, which form the walls of the house. He was also carpenter and plasterer and even made the lead light windows and woodcarvings. It is basically four rooms with a central passage; a kitchen was added at the rear. An attic in the roof has never been used as living quarters. A unique part of the Gingin Shopping area, this house was occupied by Mr. Philbey until his death in 1933, when he died on the premises. The house belonged in succession to C.P. Knight, J.Y. Dewar, and G.S. Giles and was bought in 1961 by A.N. & N.F. Lucraft, who had the Shop next door. Mr. & Mrs. I Evans renovated the house in the early 1990's. It is presently owned by Angela and Tom Cabassi and is used as a Real Estate Office.

Constructed from 1893
The site is of interest to many local residents who went to school there. Many of them still hold the view that it was in sound condition and should never have been demolished.
Shire offices constructed on site in 1968.
In 1893, four acres of SL370, adjoining St Luke's Church were resumed by the Education Department and eight hundred pounds allocated to build a School. Earlier lessons had been held in the Church and other venues around Gingin. Construction began in late 1894, the building consisting of one room 32 feet by 21 feet, brick with iron roofing. The school was opened in May 1895, expected attendance 73 children. Mr. Nadebaum replaced the first Headmaster, Mr. A.E. Liddington, in 1900. In 1905 plans for additions were drawn up for a separate weatherboard and iron manual training room. In 1917a second classroom was added to the north side of the School and a front porch and steps were added to face Brockman St. The school was demolished in 1965. The present day Gingin Shire Council buildings stand just above the site. Landmark Gum trees remain close to Brockman St, they are believed to have been planted by school children on Arbour Day in 1899.

Site of the home of early settlers.
Standing on a stone platform, the house had Casuarina stone walls. Palms, a large Olive tree and some English trees are all that remain of the garden.
The house was situated on the south side of the Gingin Brook. Joshua and Emma Edwards built a home there. Their eldest daughter was bom in 1849 and another eight daughters and a son (Reuben) were born later. The house faced north across Gingin Brook. Joshua died suddenly on 26th October 1866. Emma remarried James Anderson on 27th October in 1868. She placed the property into the hands of trustees until their only son, Reuben, turned 21. The property was heavily mortgaged and much of it was lost. The roof of the house was removed by John Musk and in c 1915 the house burnt down. A large olive tree remains.

Constructed from 1880
This was a solid example of mud bat construction.
There were three main rooms in a row and a small room on the South East corner. It had front and back verandahs. All except 2 of the windows were original, 6 pane pivot windows, - one of which was hinged on after the house was built, and one replaced. The original top panels of two of the front doors opening onto the southern verandah did not have the small glass panes - only one door was probably as originally constructed. Fireplaces of kitchen and living area backed onto each other, the cooking fireplace raised and deep but small width, and the log fireplace wide and shallow. Floor boards were originals in the three main rooms, and had been renewed in the small bedroom.The original ceilings had been replaced. The house occupied a large block close to the Gingin Brook on the southern side of The Horseshoe.
Believed to have been built by Frederick Felix Hill in the 1880's. Another story says G. Butler built it. F.F. Hill and his family lived here until he built a new home in Constable St (builder of that home was G. Butler), which is now Thorn's House. This house was purchased in the early 1920's by Zaccariah Brown and then by Mr. & Mrs. Noel Lucraft in 1948. It served as a Doctor's Surgery (B. Williams) in the late 1970's and a private residence since then. It was then owned an occupied by K & L Tipping who were planning to renovate until tragically a fire burnt majority of the house on 23 November 2006. The walls and fireplace still remain on the stone foundation of the three main rooms. A small room on the South East corner of the house was not affected by the fire, however, the winter rains has slowly collapsed and washed the mud wall away.

Constructed from 1845
Cheriton is significant for the associations with Brockman and the northwest syndicate, that included Gooch who had the residence and managers quarters designed by prominent Architects, Oldham, Boas and Edney-Brown. The residences represent fine examples of the Architect's work of the period, and demonstrate a way of life no longer practiced.
NO SITE INSPECTION IN 2017. The main residence is reported to be a two storey masonry structure with a simple hipped roof, the manager's cottage is a single storey building with a hipped roof.
Cheriton was originally settled by WL Brockman, later a syndicate of northwest pastoralists acquired the property. Comprising Gooch, Harper, Edgar and Wedge, it was Gooch who built the main residence and the managers cottage. Materials from an original house that was located close to Gingin Brook, were used in the construction. It is considered that Architects Oldham, Boas and Edney-Brown designed both places.

During the Second World War, this hill was the site of an American unit encampment. U.S.A. 699th Air Warning Battalion were here from March 1942 to sometime later in that year. Fifty men in this Radar Detection Unit camped on the hillside in a clump of trees. There was a well with a good supply of water nearby.
The hill is situated three kilometers north of Gingin. From the top of Sunday Hill there is an uninterrupted view 180° north and south and west to the coast.
In 1843, SL 101 was surveyed for W.L. Brockman. He leased the land around and bought SL459 in 1867. The name 'Ginginup' was given by the Aborigines, believed to mean 'water flowing between two hills'. It was shortened to Gingin by early settlers and became a place name of the nearby Town and district. When it was sold to Harper Edgar and Wedge in 1895, it became part of Edgar's farm. The Edgar family called it 'Sunday Hill', as they used to picnic there on Sundays.
