Aldgate, South Australia
Aldgate is a South Australian village and a suburb of Adelaide, located south-east of the Adelaide city centre, in the Adelaide Hills. History An inn called the Aldgate Pump was opened by Richard D. Hawkins, a well-known publican, in 1864. Hawkins, who had emigrated from London, England, to the Province of South Australia in 1842, already owned several hotels, including the nearby Crafers Inn in present-day Crafers. The pump which Hawkins had installed outside the hotel (and which gave the hotel its name) became a popular place to water the horses and bullock teams which passed through the area, and by 1870, a small settlement had been established. Hawkins claimed at that time that some 60,000 people a year passed through the hotel's doors. The hotel became quite famous, at one point being described as "one of the best decorated of its kind in the colony" with "magnificent chandeliers". The pump and hotel, and subsequently the town, were named after Aldgate in London. The word ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marbury School, Aldgate
Marbury School was a private non-denominational co-educational R–12 progressive school, located in the Adelaide Hills at Aldgate, South Australia. When it was founded in 1971, Marbury was conceived as an incorporated non-profit association with a Board of Governors, who declared at the outset that it was a "co-educational, non-sectarian, independent, non-competitive, non-authoritarian school". The name of the school was a portmanteau of the names of Margaret Edhouse (later Langley), Burwell Dodd, and Harry Edhouse, who were the founders. Edhouse was the Principal, and the Dodds provided much of the capital to purchase the grounds. It was a small school, with one class for each year, and only about 15 students per class. In the early 1990s, there were about 150 students. Marbury was honoured in 1991 when one of its long-time students received the best score for a South Australian Year 12 student.
