A closer inspection reveals one of the adjacent larger buildings was possibly the Liddell's Try Again Hotel.
Click image to enlarge, then backspace to return.
The Liddell's Try Again hotel at Piggoreet, was located approximately 1 kilometre from the Try Again Gold Mine shaft at Devils Kitchen, which partially ran under the neighbouring Cleft in the Rock Gold Mine shaft as mentioned above, a major Gold Mining Company interest of our Coulson, Broadwood and Calvert family members.
1864 Advertisement in the Ballarat Star by the Cleft in the Rock Gold Mine Manager, Joseph Coulson, John Liddell's second cousin. Hugh & Joseph Coulson, William & John Russell Calvert and Thomas Broadwood listed were all related by marriage, per William Coulson Calvert Liddell and prior in the U.K. In simple terms, these family members were major shareholders of the Cleft in the Rock Gold Mine, and basically owned it and managed it.
Some interesting Share listings of John Liddell and William Calvert (John's youngest brother Joseph Liddell's brother-in-law) with the Try Again Gold Mine. Note how William Calvert reduced his original position as major shareholder, and John Liddell increased his investment to become the major shareholder in 1864.
John and Jane Liddell's Try Again Hotel was a stage coach depot at Piggoreet in 1866.
Matthew Veal lived locally at Woady Yallock, and was a coach builder and undertaker.
John Liddell's approval of a land grant of 3 acres may have been part of his new line of business in 1867 ?
As with most lines of rural businesses, prosperity and income relates to success of local ventures. Statistics show that Gold yield production from the Try Again Gold mine peaked at 190 ounces per week, and gradually dropped over the following years, to average only 25 ounces a week by 1872. Regardless of their dances, gambling, and other innovative income generating activities, (even pigeon sweeps at Easter) the downturn in the local gold yields had a direct effect on the income of our John and Jane Liddell.

Jane Liddell nee Lee passed away in September of 1874 aged 41, her obituary notice describing her as well respected community member, and her funeral attracted a huge crowd of locals in carriages and on horseback. It reported her death as "succumbed to a short but painful attack of Typhoid Fever", but in fact she died of "Deterium Tremors caused by alcoholism".

John Liddell carried on running the Try Again Hotel, and remarried Emma Howson, a local store keeper, in 1876. Only 4 or 5 years later the Try Again Hotel closed, and John Liddell was described as "penniless", passing away in January of 1885 and was buried at Smythesdale Cemetery.

The simplest way to outline the many family movements and developments of Joshua Liddell (Junior) and Ann Parker is per a Timeline image as below.
Timeline image for Joshua Liddell (Junior) and Ann Parker.
Looking into a quick review of this rather busy timeline, it is worth noting Joshua and Ann Liddell spent at least 9 years on the Gold Fields at Scarsdale and Piggoreet near Ballarat between 1863 and 1872. It is fairly safe to say, with the birth of their nephew William Coulson Calvert Liddell also at Scarsdale in 1875, Joshua and brother Joseph Liddell probably spent much time together on the diggings, although no confirmable share records in regional Gold Mining Companies have been found for these two Liddell lads, unlike their older brother John's investments at Piggoreet.
In general terms, approx 98% of our many family relations, left the Victorian Gold Fields near Ballarat around the 1860s and 1870s, and ended up following the Calvert brothers, William John Russell, to the rich farming lands of East Gippsland, mainly between Bairnsdale and Bruthen. It is not known exactly why Joshua and Ann Liddell initially went to Stawell, a developing mining and farming area, in the opposite section of the state. However it is possible Joshua had had enough of mining, due to the following summons notice at Lintons in 1871, over a mining claim issue, as decribed here in this newspaper article.
Summons for Joshua Liddle over a minimg claim in 1871 - Courtesy Trove.
Extensive search of records have not found any listing of Joshua ever having any Gold Mining shares at Stawell ( initially named Pleasant Creek ), or any occupational records, until he began for the Railways in 1883.
The very impressive local Ballarat Railway station circa 1860.
For reasons unknown, John Liddell stayed in the Piggoreet / Springdallah district near Ballarat, Joshua and Ann Liddell and family of 5 children, went to the Western region of Victoria, a small place on the edge of Stawell township called Deep Lead in the mid 1870s, and Joshua's younger brother Joseph ended up going to the edge of Bairnsdale in Eastern Victoria around 1878 or 1879. Heritage Victoria has classified an area near the Deep Lead Station of local interest, due to remnants of the Ballarat train line, that run past the derelict Band of Hope and Hand in Hand Gold mines.

Joshua Liddell ended up working for the Railways near Stawell, well before retiring as a farmer in the district, his son Joseph Watson Liddell becoming a leading and well respected apiarist / bee keeper in the same Western region of Victoria.
Its likely Joshua Liddell mentioned in this newspaper of 1888 is our Joshua, although it is away from his home district.

JOSEPH LIDDELL & MARY CALVERT
From a budding genealogists point of view, its quite a special privileFFge to be able to display such old family photos taken in Gippsland in Victoria of family members born way back in the 1840s from Allendale and Alston, Northumberland.
Joseph Liddell & Mary Liddell nee Calvert circa 1905 - Courtesy Mixo Sydenham's personal collection.
As we have already covered much of the early days of two of the Liddell brothers, it time to bring the Calvert family connection into focus, with our first record of Joseph Liddell's wife, Mary Calvert, whose father William shown below, was originally from around Kirkhaugh via Alston, about 17 miles away. William's wife was Eleanor Allison, who was born in 1796 in Alston, must have been quite amazed at the fact her four children listed on this Census, all emigrated to Victoria, were very successful on the Gold Fields near Ballarat, and all eventually relocated to live in far East Gippsland.
Census record of Mary Liddell nee Calvert (aged 9 months) and her family at Lead Gate in Allendale in 1841.
Both of Mary's brothers William (Junior), aged 15 and a Lead Ore Miner, and John Russell Calvert aged 14 shown here, were instrumental in many different ways in the progress and development of their home districts in Victoria, and both spent some time as the Bairnsdale Shire president in the 1880s.

Emigration record of Mary Liddell nee Calvert on board the S.S. Great Britain in Mar 1866.
It appears quite obvious Joseph Liddell and Mary Calvert probably knew each other very well before they left Northern England, as they arrived separately at Hobsons Bay Melbourne, about four months apart, were married two months later, and had their first child nearly two years after their marriage.
Emigration record of Joseph Liddell (spelt Liddle) on board the Auckland in July 1866.
As with many pioneering families on the Gold Fields, Joseph and Mary were also busy trying to survive the extreme conditions of tent life, as well as expanding their own family. From the timeline shown below, they had their first child Caleb at Springdallah (near Piggoreet) in 1868, who sadly only lived for a month. Their next three children Mary Bill and Sarah, were born in the same district and all survived, before Joseph and Mary moved to near Bairnsdale around 1878. They had two more sons in East Gippsland, Thomas and Joseph Coulson in the early 1880s, however Joseph only survived 27 days. In order to further clarify connections with the Richardson family, some relevant information regarding Great Grandfather Bill, (William Coulson Calvert Liddell) is detailed below, under Generation 4.

The same region was frequented by in-laws of our Richardson family, being Thomas Cochrane who lived at Smythesdale next to the cemetery, and his brother Hugh Taylor Cochrane from nearby Linton.

From their childrens' birth records, we know the Liddells relocated to East Gippsland in the very late 1870's, however it has been difficult to ascertain when they bought the farm property at Lower Nicholson, where they too became quite active in the local community. Typical of early Pioneers, families and neighbours often grouped and worked together, to better the standards of living conditions, educational facilities, transportation issues, and local government involvement, as indicated here with a petition supported by the Liddells from Nicholson, the Cunninghams from Swan Reach, and some of their neighbours from the Bumberrah Riding.
Petition signed by Joseph Liddell with neighbours and relatives in 1886 regarding separation of local Shires.
Financial planning for a new Drawbridge at Lower Nicholson, about a mile and a half directly across the paddocks from the Liddell farm. Councillor Cochrane mentioned here, was Robert Cochrane, who married Elizabeth Richardson, aunt of Annie Liddell's husband Jack Richardson. Just over a decade after this transport / drawbridge issue was made public, Joseph Liddell and his family had a very different issue to deal with - being that of bushfires in a hot dry Summer of 1900.
Bushfire problems near the Liddell property on the Nicholson River in 1900.
Obviously well settled in the district, regardless of the bushfires, the Liddell family stayed on nearby the picturesque Nicholson River, and the Drawbridge was completed. In 1903, Joseph and Mary Liddell watched their family grow within the farm household, with their sons Thomas Sydney and his wife Evelyn nee Whelan, and William Coulson Calvert and his wife Sarah Ann nee Cunningham, most likely living on the same property, which actually consisted of two separate blocks of land.
Joseph Liddell seeking occupancy of the farm by tender in 1900.
At first glance, the subject of this cutting may appear a bit odd, as to why Joseph and Mary put up the farm for rent, however it is likely eldest son Bill and his family had their own house on the second adjacent smaller block of land. At this point in time Joseph and Mary were approaching 60 years of age, had obviously worked hard on the gold fields and in their farming ventures, and were probably in the position for what would have been regarded as early retirement. It appears the also managed their finances well, as they ended up owning 3 quite large house right in Bairnsdale.

From family recollections we know Joseph and Mary's eldest son, William Coulson Calvert Liddell (Bill), and his wife Sarah Ann Cunningham, basically took over the running of the farm when Bill's parents grew older. Connections and activities between the Richardson, Vipond, and Liddell families remained strong even well after the First World War, with Jack and Annie Richardson living in one Jack's uncle William Vipond's investment house in Malvern, a suburb of Melbourne, and Jack's sisters, Nennie and Stell Richardson living in another William Vipond's houses in the same avenue.

From the above newspaper cutting (2 parts), we know Joseph and Mary Liddell must have had some success at Gold Mining and/or farming, as they managed to acquire three houses in Bairnsdale, in addition to the two adjacent farm properties at Nicholson.
Our late aunty Joan Liddell Richardson shared many fond memories of her family going from Melbourne to Bairnsdale by train for many school holidays in the 1930s, carrying their suitcases, and being met by Bill (William Coulson Calvert Liddell) or young son Jo Liddell at the train station, in the family horse and jinker. It was the only type of holiday they could afford, as her father Jack Richardson, a returned limbless soldier, earned merely a humble wage as a lift driver at the Melbourne Town Hall.

William Coulson Calvert Liddell and Sarah Ann Cunningham
As most of our Australian Richardson family branch are descendants of William Coulson Calvert Liddell and Sarah Ann Cunningham, available info about this couple is summarized here, from Generation 5 onward.

Family recollections of Sarah Ann Cunningham nee Liddell.
Sarah was the fifth born of Thomas Henry and Margaret Cunningham, born in June 1875, she married William Coulson Calvert Liddell, of Scarsdale ( son of Joseph Liddell and Mary Calvert ) Of her 9 Children unfortunately, many met with quite serious diseases and saddening early demise, not uncommon for the period & lifestyle - most of the surviving generations are of much hardier stock.
Bill and Sarah lived on a large farm on the Nicholson River, running their own cattle for milking, and grew lots of maize, a common animal feed product of the district of the times. Along with the essential vegie garden, they also grew a large crop of fruit trees, cherries, plums, and apples - Sarah just had to have something to make the jams and conserves with ! Surely more than one of her children, nieces and nephews remembers getting sprung popping some of the more spectacular Fuschia buds in the garden more than once, amongst a wealth of stunning Roses and the like.
The family treat was to sit around the huge kitchen bench on a Thursday night, and tuck into sausages and mashed spuds, after the usual weekly supply run to Bairnsdale.
Bill had a contract working on the roads for the local Shire and was often away for two weeks at a time, leaving daughter Annie to most of the physical yakka raising the cows, corn and kids.

One of numerous Shire accounts for payment to Bill Liddell - this example from the Tambo Shire in 1917.
On his brief spells at home, armed with his huge white moustache and his faithful companion "Paddy" the Cocker Spaniel by his side, he would shine the boots on the old tank stand, spit and polish the jinker, and take the hour and a half dirt track trip to Bairnsdale. He passed away early in 1934, was buried at Bumberrah cemetery, leaving many fond memories of a jovial bloke who liked the odd beer now and then.
Death notice of William Coulson Calvert Liddell, who died at Nicholson in 1934.
Headstone of William Coulson Calvert Liddell, and son John Thomas Liddell, at Bumberrah cemetery on the edge of Swan Reach township.
With the sole responsibility of the farm and lots of mouths to feed, Sarah battled on from sun-up to late at night, never stopping until her head hit the pillow. Her only time off was of a Friday night social, when she took Alma and Myra to the Stephenson's place to have a round of cards or two or three. Alma and Myra were her mainstays, milking and separating, and sharing the sweat and blisters in the maize paddock. No wonder she is not remembered for being as jovial as her husband - she simply didn't have time to laugh much.
Youngest daughter Alma with shotgun to hand, and Paddy the wonder dog hunting rabbits on the Liddell farm at Nicholson, around the mid 1930's.
Apparently some of her pet hates arose at these times, being Menzies and the atom bomb. If the pounds and pennies weren't filling the purse as they should, it was all Menzies' fault ( Chifley would have done things better ). If there was any type of drama after the war, it was simply because of the atom bomb. Apparently almost without exception, when she sat down for tucker with Annie's husband Jack Richardson, not only politics, but sometimes plates might be seen to fly across the kitchen so to speak.
Headstone of Sarah Ann Liddell nee Cunningham, died 1958 and buried at Bumberrah Cemetery.
Eventually managing the property became too much for her to cope with, and Sarah sold up somewhere around the late 30s and moved to Bairnsdale for some 5 years. With many of her family living in Melbourne, she up and moved to the big smoke too, leaving most of her treasured belongings with Gladys. Living the remaining years of her time similar to a gipsy, she would stay for 2 -3 months at a spell, with each of her family, then move on. Sarah died 8-Dec-1958, buried Bumberrah, leaving us all with a shining example of a hard worker really is, and what a widowed mother of the times had to deal with.
