Everett's Cottage

Everett, licensee of the Queen's Head Hotel, erected the cottage during the 1860s. It was built of brick on stone foundations, both of which are rendered. Wrought iron has since been used to replace the original roof covering. The cottage contains two rooms each with its own window. The front door enables direct access from the street. A kitchen area stands to the rear. Little significant change has been made to the cottage over the years, apart from two relatively small timber additions to the side and rear. The main structure, however, is still evident. It seems probable that Everett chose to live in this cottage while operating his business from the site of the Queen's Head Hotel. Everett lived alone due to the fact that his wife and all but one member of his family appear to have remained behind in England. Everett's son, George, arrived in 1864 and worked with his father in Toodyay before setting up his own farm in Beverley.^[2]
