Cheriton Market Garden, Gingin

Description

DescriptionThis entry relates to the Chinese market gardeners known to have worked on Cheriton estate. Many may have been working on Yee Lee's Market Garden in Cheriton.

Further research required to ascertain if the Chinese workers were during Brockman or Wells time at Cheriton.

From InHerit database:
"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."Address,,,,Gingin,,Location^[1]
