4 Princess Street
The heritage cottage at 4 Princess Street, Willaston was listed as a "Contributory Item" on the Gawler Development Plan. The cottage is located on allotment 20, as laid out in the Waltham subdivision of 1878. Following subdivision, the land was first purchased by Elizabeth Lenert [Elizabeth Lienert], wife of Charles Lenert of Willaston, lime burner on 30 November 1895. It is likely they had the cottage built and resided there until they sold it on 4 April 1923 to Percy Edward Boxer. In September that year, Boxer sold the cottage to Harry Gerling Bradshaw, who owned it for over 50 years, until his death in December 1977 (it passed to his executors, daughter Joyce Audrey Trott (widow - see Trott Family) and son Douglas Bruce Bradshaw).
