p60 Standing in the top row from left to right are Tom Cashen, Jim Cashen, Bert Chivers, Alf Chivers, Gilbert Smith and Joe Beale. Seated in the middle row are Leo Fitzsimons, Mick Cashen, the umpire Walter Bilson, Ted Sheahan, and Lew Beale. In the front are Jim Sheahan and Jim Hodgson.
Apart from their common interest in cricket all these men contributed strongly to com-munity life in the middle years, as is indicated in the following brief notes.
Tom, Jim, and Mick Cashen were three of five brothers who in the 1880's and 1890's were pupils at the Templestowe State School. For many years Jim lived in the Cashen's old home in James Street which overlooked the bowling green. Later he lived beside his brother Tom in Atkinson Street between Milne and McLachlan Streets, and just near their brother Mick in James Street. All the Cashen brothers were orchardists.
75 Leeds St (cor. Cassowary), Doncaster East (214.11)
Dating from 1890, 75 Leeds St was built by Tom Petty for one of his workmen to live in (probably a relative, as all his relatives are said to have worked for him).It is a symmetrical double-fronted timber, hip-roofed late Italianate house. It has eaves brackets, with plain panels between. There is a convex hip-roofed verandah, with a fine cast-iron lace valance and brackets between turned timber posts. The windows are pairs and the four panelled door has side and highlights with coloured glass.
There is a later skillion rear extension and old plantings, especially in the rear garden.
Of local architectural significance as a typical simple late Italianate timber house, surviving in a suburban street, and of local historical significance for its associations with Petty.

75 Leeds St (cor. Cassowary), Doncaster East
Of local architectural significance as a typical simple late Italianate timber house, surviving in a suburban street, and of local historical significance for its associations with Petty.75 Leeds Street (Corner Cassowary), Doncaster East.
This house was built in 1909-10 for Tom Petty, pioneer fruitgrower, and occupied by Patrick Cashen, fruitgrower. It stood on 28 acres of land. (134) It is thought that Cashen may have been a relative as well as an employee of Petty, a former weaver from Bradford in England.Petty arrived in Doncaster in 1853 and became a successful Doncaster orchardist with a farm on the south side of Doncaster Road. (135) Petty owned the site of the Leeds Street house at least from 1894.
The year before the house was built, Cashen was recorded as the occupier of its site, 29 acres of vacant land between Leeds Street and Blackburn Road owned by Petty.(136)
The house continued to be occupied by orchardists. Between 1911 and 1917, Tom Petty (now living at Box Hill) let it to Samuel Maggs, fruitgrower and orchardist.(137)
Later, in 1919, Petty sold the property to Claude Bell, orchardist, who was there still in the mid- 1920's (138).
Of local historical Significance for its associations with Petty pioneer fruitgrower and other local orchardists, Patrick Cashen, Samuel Maggs and Claude Bull.
