complexity in the evolution of this site and it is therefore of high archaeological significance in its ability to reveal details about possibly William James’ hut, the Woodman’s Inn, the King’s Arms Inn, the grave yard, Woodford House, and Woodford Academy. These include matters such as the earlier configurations of the buildings and other features and the lifestyle of the occupants over time. Woodford Academy during the mid-late 1800s through the management of a Mrs Shiels, developed its use as Woodford House, a guesthouse, which was advertised as a 'Sanatorium' as far back as 1868 to promote the health benefits of its location. Woodford House was later acknowledged as having been the 'pioneer of the mountain's summer houses'. The likely association of Woodford Academy with the early development of guesthouses, summer retreats and sanatoria, all important in the history of the Blue Mountains more generally, is also a significant aspect in the history of the place. The site has considerable historical archaeological value and research potential to demonstrate the general character of its types of occupation from the early nineteenth century onwards. Previous monitoring of works indicates that significant archaeological deposits survive here which will provide evidence of the specific construction, form, nature, function and occupation of the former buildings and other structures on this site and its environs.

This was Woodford Academy, directed, like Cooerwull, towards the Sydney University entry examination and elite learning generally. This was a significant school, in competition and then in succession to Lithgow's Cooerwull Academy (which McManamey had been rector of from 1903-7). Woodford Academy was a case of adapting much older buildings to school use, while supplementing the old with a custom-made wing. 581:, former President of the Board of the National Trust of Australia (NSW), regularly visited Woodford Academy, which he loved and had visited since the Trust first negotiated with Gertrude McManamey over its acquisition, when it was falling down around her.
