Henry Jackson Moseley
Henry Jackson Moseley ( – 6 July 1894) was a builder and publican in the very early days of the British colony of South Australia. History William Moseley and Henry Jackson Moseley were sons of J. J. Moseley, builder, of Marylebone, London. They emigrated to South Australia aboard ''Tam O'Shanter'', arriving in November 1836. William, a jolly, portly man, was publican of around a dozen hotels, the last of which was Crafer's Inn. He drowned attempting to cross the swollen Onkaparinga, and was washed downstream when his horse stumbled. Henry, who had served an apprenticeship with builder T. Moseley of St John's Wood, London, had no shortage of work, and soon had a thriving business. He built *offices for the South Australian Company's commissioners and William Light, *the original Trinity Church on North Terrace, Adelaide in 1838. *the Victoria Flour Mill at Gawler for Stephen King JP (1806–1882) and John Ragless (c. 1815–1899) in 1845, sold in 1847 to William Duffield. ...

South Australia
South Australia (commonly abbreviated as SA) is a state in the southern central part of Australia. It covers some of the most arid parts of the country. With a total land area of , it is the fourth-largest of Australia's states and territories by area, and second smallest state by population. It has a total of 1.8 million people. Its population is the second most highly centralised in Australia, after Western Australia, with more than 77 percent of South Australians living in the capital Adelaide, or its environs. Other population centres in the state are relatively small; Mount Gambier, the second-largest centre, has a population of 33,233. South Australia shares borders with all of the other mainland states, as well as the Northern Territory; it is bordered to the west by Western Australia, to the north by the Northern Territory, to the north-east by Queensland, to the east by New South Wales, to the south-east by Victoria, and to the south by the Great Australian B ...

Aldgate Pump Hotel
Aldgate () was a gate in the former defensive wall around the City of London. It gives its name to Aldgate High Street, the first stretch of the A11 road, which included the site of the former gate. The area of Aldgate, the most common use of the term, is focused around the former gate and the High Street and includes part of the city and parts of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is 2.3 miles (3.7 km) east of Charing Cross. There is also an Aldgate Ward of the City of London. The Ward is of ancient origin, but intramural, so almost entirely distinct from the area around Aldgate High Street, which is mostly outside the line of the London Wall. Etymology The etymology of the name "Aldgate" is uncertain. It is first recorded in 1052 as ''Æst geat'' ("east gate") but had become ''Alegate'' by 1108. Writing in the 16th century, John Stow derived the name from "Old Gate" (Aeld Gate). However, Henry Harben, writing in 1918, contended that this was wrong and that docume ...

People From Marylebone
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of p ...

The station is the oldest merino stud in Australia and was settled in 1839 by Capt. John Finnis, who called it "Mount Dispersion" (the Aboriginal name was ''Pudna''), and stocked it with 12,000 sheep. The property was acquired in 1841 by Frederick Dutton, at which time it was at the frontier of European settlement. In the early days Anlaby extended from near Kapunda to Tothill's Creek occupying an area of with a length of and a width of . The neighbouring pastoralist to the west and north was W. S.

Walkerville Brewery
Walkerville Brewery was a brewer of beer in Adelaide, South Australia, originally founded in the 1840s. The company became a co-operative, and grew by admitting hotel owners as shareholders, and absorbed smaller breweries. After several amalgamations it moved its operations to Southwark (now part of Thebarton) and by 1920 it was South Australia's largest brewing company. It was bought out by the South Australian Brewing Company in 1939 and its facilities became known as the company's Southwark brewery. The brewery produced Nathan beer (Nathan Bitter), named after a new type of beer making equipment introduced in 1927 (later renamed Southwark Bitter by the SA Brewing Co.). History First phase The first brewery in Walkerville was founded in 1847 by William Colyer and William Williams, reported by one source to be South Australia's first licensed publican, although later research suggests that he was the second to be licensed and the third brewer in the colony.

William Williams (brewer)
William Williams (1803 – 26 April 1858) was an early settler in the Province of South Australia, known for establishing the Walkerville Brewery and for his work on the Kaurna language. He was Deputy Colonial Storekeeper for some time. Early days in South Australia Williams arrived in the new colony at Holdfast Bay on 8 November 1836 aboard , one of the ships of the "First Fleet of South Australia".

However his appointment was terminated within about six months, in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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. Crawford lost possession of the business in 1859, then re-established it on a different site before becoming bankrupt. 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 b ...
