West End Brewery (Hindley Street)
The West End Brewery in Hindley Street, Adelaide, was a South Australian brewer of beer founded in the colony of South Australia in 1859 by a consortium of brewers. Its West End Ale was a popular brand and the enterprise was a successful one. The company merged with the Kent Town Brewery and Ben Rounsevell's wine and spirit business to create the South Australian Brewing, Malting, Wine and Spirit Company (later the South Australian Brewing Company), in 1888, which continued to use the ''West End'' brand. The building in Hindley Street, known as the West End Brewery, continued to be used by SA Brewing until its sale in 1980. The factory building on Port Road, Adelaide, Port Road at Thebarton continues to be called the West End Brewery, owing to the large sign advertising West End Draught, West End beer, before and after its takeover by Lion (Australasian company)#South Australian Brewing Company, Lion.

Hindley Street
Hindley Street is located in the north-west quarter of the centre of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It runs between King William Street and West Terrace. The street was named after Charles Hindley, a British parliamentarian and social reformist. The street was one of the first built in Adelaide and is of historical significance for a number of reasons. As well as housing the first meeting of Adelaide City Council, the oldest municipal body in Australia, in November 1840, Hindley Street was home to the first stone church in South Australia; it was also the location of the first movie shown in the colony and the first cinema in the state. The West End Brewery operated in the street between 1859 and 1980.

Hindmarsh Brewery
The Hindmarsh Brewery was a brewery founded 1844 in Hindmarsh, in the then colony of South Australia, by E. J. F. "Fred" Crawford.

It was then taken over by Henry Haussen and George Catchlove, and was successfully operated by them and their successors until 1927. History The Hindmarsh Brewery has been touted as the first in the colony, but others almost certainly predated it: there was *Anthony Lillyman's (died 1847) brewery, on the banks of the River Torrens, which was a known landmark in March 1838, and closed later that year. *John Warren (c. 1783 – 22 March 1873), arrived January 1838 aboard ''Royal Admiral'', had a brewery on the banks of the Torrens that same year * Union Brewery on south side of Rundle street, James Place corner: Daniel Cudmore 1838 to 1841?; John Richmond (c. 1797–1862) and John Primrose 1841 to November 1875. *Grenfell Street brewer ...

Town Acre
In urban planning, the grid plan, grid street plan, or gridiron plan is a type of city plan in which streets run at right angles to each other, forming a grid. Two inherent characteristics of the grid plan, frequent intersections and orthogonal geometry, facilitate movement. The geometry helps with orientation and wayfinding and its frequent intersections with the choice and directness of route to desired destinations. In ancient Rome, the grid plan method of land measurement was called centuriation. The grid plan dates from antiquity and originated in multiple cultures; some of the earliest planned cities were built using grid plans in Indian subcontinent. History Ancient grid plans By 2600 BC, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, major cities of the Indus Valley civilization, were built with blocks divided by a grid of straight streets, running north–south and east–west. Each block was subdivided by small lanes. The cities and monasteries of Sirkap, Taxila and Thimi (in the Indus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
