Road name changes

Anzac Highway: was known almost from the beginning of European settlement as the Bay Road. It was renamed Anzac Highway in November 1924 as a tribute to those who had served in the first world war.Cross Road: between Anzac Highway and Marion Road was known as Plympton Terrace for several decades until the early 1950s. In 1952 Plympton Terrace officially became part of Cross Road.Marion Road: Marion Road was first used as the name of the main road leading from the city to the Village of Marion (laid out November 1938). Much of the road lies within West Torrens and was given the name in 1853 with the declaration of the council boundaries.  The portion of Marion Road lying between the Anzac Highway and the Southern Cross Nursing Homes was from the late 1840s to 1912 known as Plympton Road, prior to that it was simply called a 'Government Road'. From 1912 to just after the Second World War the same stretch of road was known as Martin Avenue. Martin Avenue was named for the family and descendants of John Martin who lived at their property, The Pines (now part of the Southern Cross Nursing Homes complex), from December 1880 to August 1941. After the Second World War, Martin Avenue became part of Marion Road.Morphett Road: between the Bay Road/Anzac Highway and the Holdfast Bay railway line (now the Westside Bikeway) was, from the early 1880s, known as Erlestone Terrace. That road officially became part of Morphett Road in 1939.Richmond Road: formerly Nottingham Avenue/ West Beach Road  Much of the road between Marion Road and South Road was from at least the 1880s known asRichmond Road. There were however two sections of the road that were exceptions. The small section of Richmond Road running from Railway Terrace to South Road was, as the southern boundary of the Ellenville subdivision, known from 1879 as South Terrace. And from October 1882 as part of the new Keswick subdivision, the section of Richmond Road between South Road and the Bay Road/Anzac Highway was named Nottingham Avenue.  Nottingham Avenue had different number to the Richmond Road. Around 1936/37 the West Torrens Council decided the the full length of the road should be renamed to West Beach Road. The first step in this process was the new numbering system adopted with even numbers on the south side of the road and odd numbers on the north side, beginning from Anzac Highway  then going west; this resulted in the southern numbering on Nottage Avenue changing from odd to even and the northern side from even to odd numbers. The road was renamed West Beach Road in 1943 and then Richmond Road in 1984.Rosetta Road: The continuation of Richmond Road was named Rosetta Road - it ran between Marion Road and Tapleys Hill Road from the early 1900s, was named for Rosetta nee Bagshaw (c.1840-1918) the wife of prominent local land owner W.H.Gray (1808-1896). The road was closed with the building of the airport from the late 1940s.Burbridge, Cowandillah (Cowandilla), Rowland, Hilton Roads - Sir Donald Bradman Drive: Sir Donald Bradman Drive is made up of several former roads. From the mid-1970s to 2001 Sir Donald Bradman Drive was named Burbridge Road. Burbridge Road in turn was made up of Burbridge, Cowandillah (Cowandilla), Rowland and Hilton Roads. The latter three names had been in use since the 1850s. Cowandillah Road ran approximately between today’s Marion Road and Bagot Avenue, Rowland Road from Bagot Avenue to South Road and Hilton Road from South Road to the eastern boundary of West Torrens South Road: formerly Taylors (Bridge) Road / Fisher Terrace / East Terrace / Black Prince Road  1967 Taylors Road/South Road Renumbering (Sands and McDougall Directory)Port Road: formerly part Shierlaw Terrace (Further info in progress)

KESWICK / ASHFORD (Suburbs)

The Sections which included Section 45 on which KESWICK is located were first owned by the Everard family and the Keswick Land Company purchased part of Section 45 from William Everard in 1883 and subdivided it into 504 blocks. This was in direct response to the provision of horse drawn tram services from the City. The Keswick, Ashford, Richmond, Edwardstown and South Road Tramway Company was floated in December 1882. It was hoped that residential development and public transport facilities would go hand in hand. The Tramway Services were electrified after 1909 and the new service to Keswick was opened by 1918. This allowed more intensive residential development in the streets off Richmond Road. 
Some industry was located in Keswick, particularly in the early 1920s. T J Richards Motor Body Building Firm had established a plant in Keswick in 1916 which was an expansion of their carriage building business. Richards merged with Chrysler Australia in 1937 and developed the factory in Mile End. 
A portion of Keswick fronts Anzac Highway and the development of the Bay Road also assisted the industrial development of Keswick and the area around it. One of the main industries which was established in Keswick was the Kelvinator Factory, which during the Second World War was converted for war production rather than white goods. 
During the War in October 1941, the Keswick Reserve in Everard Avenue was the site of a carnival staged to raise funds for the War effort, by the Keswick and Richmond Unit of the Comforts Fund. This was typical of the intense fund raising carried on throughout South Australia at the time. Other industrial activity in and adjacent to Keswick included the Hume Pipe Factory. Some of the industries in Keswick benefited from the State Government's Manufacturing Industries Protection Act, 1937 which allowed industry to develop often to the detriment of residential quality in the area. This Act did not allow Council any redress on behalf of their ratepayers and residents, until the passing of the Planning and Development Act, 1970. [From 1998 Heritage Review]
The suburb of ASHFORD derives its name from Ashford House  and it was initially settled by Dr Charles George Everard who arrived in South Australia in 1836. The suburb was subdivided after Everard's death. 
The first subdivision was undertaken in 1919 and a second in the early 1920s. Charles Everard's home was converted to Ashford House School for Cerebral Palsied Children and opened on 18 April 1952. In 1975 the school became known as Ashford Special School.  [From 1998 Heritage Review]

GLANDORE / BLACK FOREST (Suburbs)


Today’s suburb of Glandore is largely made up of four separate subdivisions: Glandore, Glandore West and Glandore West Extension.
In July 1883 Joseph Henry Morgan, Benjamin Morgan, John O’Dea and William Lines Cumming, all drapers, and John Lewis and Mary Fox, licensed victuallers, divided an 11.7 hectare (29.25 acre) north-eastern portion of section 53, Hundred of Adelaide into a 123-allotment subdivision they named Glandore. The subdivision was probably named after the coastal village of the same name in county Cork, Ireland: the O’Dea family had immigrated to South Australia from county Cork in 1840. The major streets in the development were Forest, Grosvenor, Park and Wellington Streets and Railway (now Glengyle) Terrace.
In August 1923 John Gill Keeves (1856-1940), sharebroker of North Adelaide, subdivided just over 17.2 hectares (43 acres) to the west of the original Glandore subdivision into a 164-allotment he called Glandore West. A week later Keeves sold the subdivision in its entirety to Leslie Trigg Parsons (1890-1983), agent of Adelaide, and Horace George Crittenden (1878-1937) of Joslin, out of business. After buying additional land from Keeves, Parsons and Crittenden laid out an additional thirty-five allotments which were also a part of Glandore West. Parsons and Crittenden thus now owned in total almost 200 allotments in Glandore West spread over about twenty hectares (51 acres) – an area taking up about one-half of today’s suburb of Glandore. 
The new streets in the two Glandore West subdivisions were Albion, Edward (now Ruthven), Madden, St Georges and Waymouth Avenues; Burke and Stuart Streets; and Charles (now Leaney) and Stanley (now Barclay) Streets; as well as an extension of Railway Terrace and new allotments along the Bay Road.
In December 1923 George Frederick Sare (c1880-1955) of Norwood, plumber, subdivided a little over five acres between the Glandore and Glandore West subdivisions into a twenty-allotment development he called Glandore West Extension. Allotments were situated mainly along the subdivision’s ninety-metre Bay Road frontage and south along Wellington Street. In October 1936 James Myrvin Stead (b. 1896), police constable of Goodwood Park, laid out twenty-two allotments on approximately two hectares (5 acres) as a westerly extension of Glandore West.
BLACK FOREST was laid out in subdivisions of section 87, Hundred of Adelaide in 1850 and 1882. Part of these subdivisions, from Wheaton Road to the tramline, are now a part of Plympton in West Torrens.

CAMDEN / CAMDEN PARK (Suburb)

The village of Camden was first established in Section 136 and was associated with the Bay Road from the City to Holdfast Bay. Into the early 20th century Camden remained a small cluster of houses surrounded by essential rural activities. The main period of early development for Camden was related to the construction in 1880 of the Holdfast Bay Railway Company's line which ran through West Torrens and linked up with the Glenelg Railway Line across the Bay Road between Camden and Morphettville. As in other villages along the line, this provision of public transport was an impetus to subdivide and  encourage some residential development in Camden.
An increase in population in the district led to the construction of Camden Primary School in circa 1920. Also during the 1920s the Council purchased eight hectares of land from the State Bank for the purpose of establishing the Camden Oval and Recreation Ground. In the post Second World War period the Housing Trust constructed 68 emergency dwellings in Camden, again on previously un-subdivided land. Much of this emergency housing was replaced with paired units during the 1950s. 
In 1946 the Lightburn & Company purchased forty hectares of land previously used for agriculture at Camden and established their engineering works so by the mid-1950s this provided employment for upwards of 800 people. Lightburn produced mostly domestic appliances, but in the 1960s attempted to move into the motor vehicle trade with the assembly of a small European car known as the Zeta and with further plans to assemble Alpha Romeos in Australia. Car production was only undertaken for five years.
Camden Park became the location for the district ambulance service in 1980.The recent demolition of the Camden Park Primary School is indicative of the change in the demographic structure of the population currently. No evidence now remains of the 1920s school which was made necessary by the increase in population and family numbers in the district. [From 1998 Heritage Review]

NOVAR GARDENS (Suburb)

Novar Gardens occupies Sections 152 and 170-172. Much of this land was originally taken up by John Morphett who built his house Cummins close to the Sturt River and the Bay Road on Section 152. By 1850 Morphett had established a substantial farm with gardens, orchards and vineyards surrounded by hay and wheat fields. In 1919 two paddocks of Cummins were sold and subdivided to provide housing for returned soldiers after the First World War. This was part of the post-War subdivision process which was undertaken in West Torrens. Also in 1920 the Novar Gardens suburb was approved by Council. This was one of the designs of Charles Reade undertaken at the same time as the Galway Gardens suburb in Marleston. 
The suburb of Novar Gardens itself was established in 1963 when the Morphett Estate was reduced to a large suburban block and thirteen hectares was subdivided to form the new suburb.
Cummins, a State Heritage Place, was sold to the State Government in 1977 and Emmanuel College leased it for a short time and then West Torrens Council took out a long term lease on the house. Emmanuel College had been established by the Lutheran Church in Novar Gardens in 1957 and the land it was on was also carved from the original Morphett Estate and purchased in 1950. 
The current character of Novar Gardens is one of recent residential development mainly between the Emmanuel College grounds on Morphett Road and the eastern section of the Glenelg Golf Course in the northern part of the suburb. [From 1998 Heritage Review]

NETLEY (Suburb)

Netley was initially settled by Thomas Hudson Beare, an officer of the South Australian Company who arrived at Kangaroo Island on 27 July 1836 aboard the Duke of York, the first of the immigrant ships to reach the new colony. His farm was established on Section 101, which also included the Inn known as the Halfway House, first licensed on 26 March 1840.
Beare's farm was flourishing by 1850 when the correspondent of the Register known as 'Old Colonist' passed through although Beare moved to the Yankalilla district soon after. The area remained substantially agricultural into the 1930s and up to the Second World War.
After the War emergency housing was constructed by the Housing Trust and seventy dwellings were built on available land at Netley. The West Torrens Council was assured that such buildings were to be temporary in nature although they remained until well into the 1960s. 
Subdivision of the area after the 1940s meant that increasing population required the construction of new schools, and a school at Netley was constructed on Watson Avenue after 1960. [demolished 1998] 
A portion of Netley is taken up by the Adelaide Airport and there is now a large commercial park established by the South Australian Government off Richmond Road. [From 1998 Heritage Review - UPDATED]

MARLESTON (Suburb)

Marleston is situated on Section 50 and was taken up by John Marles Snr. The first subdivision was undertaken in 1879 when the extension of new public transport services encouraged the establishment of new townships and Marleston was located along the line of the Holdfast Bay Railway Company which intended to take a line to the Bay from the North Terrace Station through Thebarton, Richmond, Plympton and Camden, diagonally through West Torrens. In Marleston the original location of this railway line can be seen in the diagonal alignment of Ritchie Terrace and Moss Avenue.
Further subdivision took place in Marleston in the early 1920s when Charles Reade planned Galway Garden Suburb in the triangle between South Road,  Richmond Road and the railway line. This suburb exemplified Reade's town planning principles as it included curved streets and substantial areas of land set aside for public recreation and reserves.  Street planting was also an important part of the garden suburb principles and Anstey Crescent and Coneybeer Street are important physical evidence of this significant subdivision within Marleston. 
Apart from residential use, the location of the Marleston Tertiary and Further Education College on Richmond Road [was] an important element within the suburb. This was created in 1962 using the warehouses and land previously owned by the Australian Independent Distributors. The Building and Furnishing Trade School was transferred to these buildings at that time. In 1976 it became Marleston College of Further Education, [and later the] Marleston Campus of the Douglas Mawson Institute of TAFE.
The overall residential character of Marleston is that of bungalows and little evidence remains of the earlier 191 h century subdivision in terms of houses or buildings. [From 1998 Heritage Review - UPDATED]

PLYMPTON / NORTH PLYMPTON (Suburbs)

The current suburbs of PLYMPTON and NORTH PLYMPTON are located primarily on Sections 87, 88, 104, 107 and 108. On 20 October 1838 the Southern Australian noted that the proprietors of Section 108, chief among whom was Henry Mooringe Boswarva, wished to form a village similar to Hindmarsh Town on the south side of the River Torrens and 'in a direct line to Holdfast Bay'. The initial village of Plympton was laid out on Section 108 (in the location of Gardiner Street and Mooringe Avenue) as early as 1838.
By the 1860s Plympton was described as 'a small postal agricultural village ... in the midst of an agricultural district taken up by small farmers engaged in the culture of wheat and hay'. The earliest notable residence in Plympton was that built by William Parkin in 1859. Parkin constructed his house in Lewis Crescent (now in North Plympton) to the north of Boswarva's village subdivision. 
The Holdfast Bay Railway Line ran through Plympton and proved an important link to the City for residents of the area, and they resisted any efforts on the part of the Railway Commissioners to close the line, particularly during the late 1880s and 1890s. The existence of this public transport link with the City led to new major subdivisions in Plympton around the established village area and the railway line. 
A small part of what is now Plympton, Hayhurst was subdivided from 1876 to 1880. Apart from this increased settlement along the main roads and railway the district remained essentially agricultural, although it became a favoured area for the construction of large mansions on or near Marion Road. These included The Pines constructed by John Martin, the retailer, in 1880; Nesfield designed and constructed in 1880 by architect Edward Davies; Bucklandsconstructed in 1882 for A.E.Tolley and purchased by Captain William Morish; and also Kandahar'built for Morish who gave it to his daughter in 1906, she was the wife of Arthur Hill, and designed by Edward Davies.
The Wesleyans were the first to provide a place of religious worship for their members in Plympton and their chapel was constructed in 1847, but then replaced by a new church in 1856 on Marion Road (now North Plympton). In 1902 a hall was built in Long Street to serve as a place of worship for several denominations. This hall was also used as an Institute and RSL Hall. With the introduction of the Education Act in 1875 the private schools which had been run in Plympton were closed and a new Departmental School was opened in that same year with a new building being constructed in 1880 in Long Street.
Plympton also includes a long stretch of the Bay Road or Anzac Highway. One important recreational area within Plympton is the Weigall Oval, the land for which was purchased in 1920 by Council and named after the Governor of the day. The population of Plympton increased after the First World War and this led to the establishment of the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd in 1926 in Clayton Avenue south of Anzac Highway. In 1947 a large group of 62 units for sale was completed at Plympton by the Housing Trust. 
Plympton High School, which was begun in 1960 on part of the subdivision of the Birkalla Polo Grounds, home of the Adelaide Polo Club for sixty years. The name of the Club is commemorated in Birkalla Terrace, Plympton. Also during the 1960s Plympton was in the news as the location of 'the first high flats to be built in the Adelaide suburbs ... at Anzac Highway, Plympton ... a five storey Mediterranean style building' opened in July 1969.

RICHMOND / WEST RICHMOND (Suburbs)

Richmond is one of the larger suburban areas within West Torrens and covers the area between Marion Road, Richmond Road, South Road and Davenport Terrace/Craig Street almost to Burbridge Road [now Sir Donald Bradman Drive] in the north. In the early stages of settlement in the West Torrens district the village of New Richmond was created by dividing Section 95 into acre allotments and by 1840 there were three houses in existence and three more being built. Section 94as also subdivided into acre allotments at this time. South Richmond was also described as a village in 1850 and this area did contain early village settlement.
The Holdfast Bay Railway Company put their line through West Torrens passing through the village of Richmond in 1878 thus enabling further subdivision of parts of the area including West Richmond associated with the provision of better transport links to the City. At this time Ellenville was also subdivided but was incorporated as part of Richmond. However, apart from houses in the subdivisions along the main roads the area remained as agricultural until well into the 1880s. The Depression of the late 1880s brought about a significant residential development in Richmond. The government resumed land in Sections 49 and 50 and subdivided it into 'Homestead Blocks' in 1895 for lease by working men. This was an attempt to help relieve social distress caused by the Depression. These blocks were approximately one hectare in size and they were offered for lease under the terms of the Homestead Act, 1895. The land continued under lease until 1902 when the blockers, as they were known, were permitted to convert the leases to freehold. The blocks were large enough to contain a family house, orchards and sufficient land to grow wheat, hay and lucerne for a small number of stock also kept on the land. The area in Richmond was known as 'Tin Town' as most of the houses were constructed in narrow flute corrugated iron. Richmond, as with other small suburbs within West Torrens, suffered from the lack of sanitation and water supply during the 1880s and 1890s and problems developed from the rural nature of the land use, particularly the many piggeries around the area. 
The Baptists within this working class area constructed a church in 1895 on Richmond Road and a school was constructed soon after the passing of the Education Act in 1875. An important indication of the working class nature of Richmond's population was the construction of the Democratic Hall on Richmond Road near the railway crossing. This was the site of various meetings and community gatherings. The hall was constructed between the Police Station and the Baptist Church on Richmond Road. Further subdivision took place within the area after the First World War during the early 1920s converting previously agricultural land to residential areas. The Depression of the 1930s was felt severely in areas such as Richmond where most of the families were working class and relied on paid employment for their survival. 118 of the 549 students at Richmond Primary School were provided with what relief was available during that time. The 'Homestead Blocks' were subdivided during the immediate post Second World War period when closer subdivision was necessary in this area so close to the City and each of the blocks was subdivided into nine or ten building allotments. Council negotiated to purchase land for the establishment of the Richmond Oval from part of the area of the blocks. Little now remains to indicate the extent of the 'Homestead Blocks' in Richmond. The area which was once subdivided into the 'Homestead Blocks' now contains consistent residential development ranging from very early returned soldier's houses (State Bank Homes) through to recent flat development. On the whole the housing seems to date from the 1930s to the 1950s with pockets of 1920s residences. There are very few of the 1890s houses remaining and it is difficult to determine exactly which these are, as early State Bank Houses also follow traditional designs with bull-nose verandahs and gable roofs.[From 1998 Heritage Review]

COWANDILLA (Suburb)

Cowandilla was one of the early villages in West Torrens, subdivided from part of Section 92. An advertisement in the Register on 1 August 1840 claimed the village to be the cheapest in the neighbourhood of Adelaide and indicated that it was intended to be laid our in 112 one acre allotments for sale or lease for 'industrious and deserving persons such as market gardeners, small farmers and other productive classes'. The advantages of the area were described as including 'the richness of its soil, its proximity to the town, the road from Adelaide to Glenelg passing through the village and other advantages too numerous to mention'.
While the Bay Road was certainly a long way south from Cowandilla in Section 92, the other claims were no doubt reasonably factual. Of the twenty odd settlers listed in the land returns of 1843 most of them were small farmers cultivating only one or two acres of wheat or barley, and a very small number of livestock. 
The only substantial settler listed in the Cowandilla land returns was Richard Counsell, whose property was known as Dunskey, with twenty acres of wheat and twenty-five cattle, still not a large holding. As with the other speculative village subdivisions, Cowandilla developed slowly and by 1853 when the first assessments were made for the District Council of West Torrens, there were just eleven dwellings in the village. The area around the village, which focussed on what is now Burbridge Road [Sir Donald Bradman Drive], remained open paddocks and fields up to the 1880s.
As the area became more settled in the early 20th century, Cowandilla was the location for a pumping station for the deep drainage system from Glenelg in 1909. This enabled homes in Hilton and Cowandilla to be connected to the sewerage system at that time, although other parts of West Torrens were not. Housing in the area was mainly modest, for working people, and there are no large residences within the suburban boundary. Consequently residents in this suburb suffered during depressed economic times. The next increase in population throughout West Torrens and in Cowandilla particularly was during the post Second World War period. [From 1998 Heritage Review - UPDATED]

HILTON (Suburb)

The suburb of Hilton is located on Section 49 and was subdivided in 1849. Matthew Davenport Hill, a London barrister, was the owner at the time, and in January of 1849 he arranged with George M Stephen, a local barrister, to subdivide and sell the Section. It was divided into thirty allotments and the first two allotments were sold to William Washington on 21 July 1849. By 1853, when the first assessments were made by the District Council ofWest Torrens, there were sixteen dwellings in Hilton.
The most notable early building in the suburb was the Hilton Hotel, located on the corner of the Main South Road and the road leading west from Adelaide now known as Burbridge Road, but originally known as Rowland Road. This road bisected the small suburb of Hilton, and also provided direct access to the City, making the area an attractive place for early workers to live. Further subdivision occurred after 1876 when the horse tramway system was extended along the road.
In the 1880s Hilton was described as being very crowded with houses on small plots of ground in comparison to the more agricultural and open character of other parts of the West Torrens district. This intense settlement was cause for some concern due to the insanitary conditions of that period (prior to the introduction of deep drainage). A report of the Central Board of Health in 1887 noted that the residents of the villages of Hilton and Richmond were still dependent on wells and tanks for their water supply and it was not until 1909 that Hilton and Cowandilla were connected to the deep drainage system for sewage disposal. Hilton was also the site of one of a number of bores which were sunk in metropolitan Adelaide by the Government in order to supplement water supplies during the drought of 1914. Twenty years later, the bores were re-opened during a period of water restrictions and the Hilton bore was described as delivering crystal clear water at the rate of 475,000 gallons a day.
While other suburbs had Methodist Churches, Hilton was the location for the first Baptist church in the district, and this was constructed on Burbridge Road in 1872. A school established by the Brothers of St John the Baptist was opened for Catholic boys in Formby Street, Hilton in 1891 and functioned until 1895 when it was moved to Thebarton.  The proximity of Hilton to the Mile End industrial areas was of some assistance in providing employment for residents of the Hilton area. With the increase of use of electricity, the Adelaide Electric Supply Company bought land along South Road and Burbridge Road in 1923 and used it to accommodate the Mains and Metres Department of the Company. These buildings were expanded over time. Further residential accommodation for the working class was established by the construction of the distinctive precinct of workman's homes built in 1924 in the area around Milner Road and Davenport Terrace in Hilton.
Hilton was also the site for the construction of the new Council Chambers in 1935 and then after the Second World War the Memorial Gardens were laid out south of the Council Chambers and opened in 1951 . Hilton also had the Lyric Theatre, opened in 1938 in Burbridge Road (then Rowland Road). This was an important form of community entertainment in this immediate pre-War period. The Lyric Theatre was also the site for a meeting of the West Torrens Ratepayers Association in 1939 when there was some concern over the state of the Council's finances After the Second World War some industry was introduced into Hilton, particularly the location of component manufacturer for the motor vehicle trade associated with Chrysler Australia who had a factory in Mile End. In the period of post-War immigration Hilton was also attractive to a large number of Greek immigrants who settled in the West Torrens district.
Earlier buildings in Hilton such as the Hilton Soldier's Memorial Institute were converted to other uses and Theatre 62 began in this building in Burbridge Road in 1962 as part of the Adelaide Festival of Arts. [From 1998 Heritage Review]

THEBARTON / MILE END (Suburbs)

The plains in the vicinity of the future city of Adelaide were originally occupied by members of the Kaurna tribe. These Aborigines made use of the water supplied by the Torrens and the abundant wildlife of the plains. However, the tribe was not to live in happy coexistence with the new white settlers who first arrived in 1836. A combination of loss of habitat, population pressure and disease meant that the Kaurna tribe had reached virtual extinction by the 1850s.
Early development of the Thebarton area was based along the Torrens River. Small cottages were scattered among industries such as brick making and tanning, which extended along the banks of the river in both Thebarton and Hindmarsh. These early activities set the basis for the development of the northern section of the survey area, most of which remains industrialised today. However, the nature of industrial and semi-industrial development, combined with a continual need to modernise and expand, has meant that very little remains of the built fabric of these early industries. Indeed the expansion of light industry and commerce has all but removed traces of the earliest residential development in the 'village' of Thebarton (bounded by Light Terrace, Port Road, Dew Street and Kintore Street). 
Later subdivisions-parts of Mile End and Torrensville-were slowly developed as residential suburbs, coinciding with the expansion of the transport network from the 1880s to 1900s. The unity of building styles and features evident within these areas, as well as the differences between these suburbs, gives an indication of the stages of development within the survey area. 
The division of Thebarton into North, South and New Thebarton wards heralded the separation of Thebarton from West Torrens. West Torrens was predominantly rural in the 1880s while Thebarton's industries were growing in number and diversity. On 8 February 1883 the Thebarton Corporation was proclaimed (SAGG, 8 February 1883, p. 428); it covered an area of about 1,038 acres, and was divided into four wards: Strangways, Musgrave, Torrens and Jervois (Lester, Firth and Murton 1982, p. 19; Burgess 1907). Several cast iron markers locating the ward boundaries remain-one on Bagot Avenue, Mile End (ME:452) and another in Rankine Road. The first Mayor was Benjamin Taylor.
Immigration has had an important effect on the social composition of the area. The suburbs of Thebarton, Hind marsh, Woodville and West Torrens attracted a larger percentage of people from non-British European countries (rather than the predominantly English settlement of Port Adelaide and Glenelg, Henley and Grange). By 1954 the Greek community made up 3.4% of Thebarton's population and the Italians 2.3%, and by 1961 the Greek population had doubled to 7.4% and Italians to 6.9% (Srubjen 1983). Thebarton gained the greatest number in 1966, with 33.8% of its population originated from non-British countries (Lester, Firth and Murton 1982, p. 98).
The influence of the transport network on the commercial development of the main arterial roads in the Thebarton Council area-Henley Beach Road, South Road and Port Road-is still evident and several items recording the improvement to transport through the area remain : the Bakewell Bridge, the Holland Street bridge and the former MTT convertor station in Henley Street are examples.   [From  1991Thebarton Heritage Survey]

UNDERDALE (Suburb)

UNDERDALE is located in Section 96 which is one of the Sections in West Torrens fronting the River Torrens. The suburb now includes part of the adjacent Section 97, but initially the area known as Underdale ran between Holbrook's Road and Hardys Road down to Henley Beach Road. This area was originally associated with the Holbrook Vineyard and Winery and the Norman Vineyard and Winery and also Thomas Hardy's Bankside Vineyards. All of these early viticulturists purchased their land during the early 1850s and all went on to be significant and successful winemakers.
The area remained essentially agricultural until the 1920s when parts of the Section were subdivided for residential use. The first of these was Sherriff's Estate which fronted Henley Beach Road through to Norman Street, and incorporated Sherriff Street and Pierce Street. The allotment between Holbrooks Road and Fernleigh Street to the west was already fairly well developed and subdivided, but the other land still remained in the hands of the Norman and Holbrook families. Bankside, Thomas Hardy's property had passed into the ownership of F Gill by the 1920s and in 1926 the part of Bankside fronting Stewards Road (Ashley Street) was also put up for subdivision. These areas close to the River Torrens were of course subject to flooding and it was not until after the Western Suburbs Drainage Scheme was introduced in 1934 that land closer to the river was able to be subdivided and facilities such as deep drainage for sewerage introduced. 
The increase in population during the 1950s led to a need for secondary schools in the area in the 1960s and the Underdale High School was opened in 1966. The Western Teacher's College had been established on land close to the River Torrens between Holbrooks Road and the River immediately after the Second World War, but in 1976 this site was used for the new Torrens College of Advanced Education which [became] now the Underdale Campus of the University of South Australia [demolished in 2005]. There are a large number of 1920s and 30s houses of distinctive design, particularly along Holbrooks Road. [From 1998 Heritage Review - UPDATED]

WEST BEACH / ADELAIDE AIRPORT (Suburb)

Adelaide Airport takes up a 24% of land the area within the City of West Torrens and effectively divides the northern part from the southern section. The northern part of the suburb is associated with the River while the southern part of the suburb is associated with Anzac Highway. 
Part of the land resumed for the airport was originally owned by W H Gray who purchased the estate from Captain Joseph Johnson in 1858. The early house 'Frogmore' which was associated with this estate no longer exists. 
The site was first considered for an airport in 1936 and then the issue was held in abeyance until after the Second World War when the use of the site was approved. Construction began on the runways in 1947 and by 1955 the airport was opened to commercial aircraft and the first hangar had been constructed. 
With the increased popularity of air travel during the 1930s and onwards, the original Adelaide Airport at Parafield became unsuitable. In 1939 the Commonwealth Government announced its policy of providing an additional airport for all capital cities and preliminary investigation of sites around Adelaide were made in 1941 by the Department of Civil Aviation. 
The fact that Gray's former estate contained little residential development made it the best available site for Adelaide as it provided good approaches from all directions for aircraft. 
The terminal building and control tower were opened in 1957 along with a memorial to Sir Ross and Keith Smith. Development of Adelaide Airport has continued intermittently since the 1950s with the improvement of runways, taxi-ways, upgrading the terminal buildings and improved sophistication of navigation equipment.

LOCKLEYS / FULHAM / REEDBEDS (Suburbs)

The name LOCKLEYS derives from the name given to their farm by the early settlers James and Charles Fisher. The Fisher brothers established their agricultural activities on Section 145 before 1844. Charles Fisher established a horse stud on his Lockleys property soon after settlement commenced in the district and he and his father John Hurtle Fisher, the first South Australian Resident Commissioner, were largely responsible for the foundation of the racing industry. Charles and James Fisher had an early brickworks kiln at Lockleys and in February 1841 the Government accepted their tender for the supply of 25-30,000 bricks. By 1840 Lockleys comprised two dwelling houses, a stockyard, cow sheds, dairy and piggery. The land returns of 1843 indicate that James and Charles Fisher had put under cultivation 190 acres of wheat, 22 acres of barley, 1 acre of oats, and were running 170 sheep, 60 cattle, 6 horses and 50 pigs on their property Lockleys. At this time theirs wasthe highest acreage under wheat in the Reed Beds area. 
Some notable early residents of Lockleys included James Rowell, whose family established a farm in Lockleys in the 1850s and J W Mellor. Part of his property Mellor was subdivided to create Mellor Park (as the eastern section of Lockleys was known). The agricultural properties which made up the area now known as Lockleys suburb began to be subdivided from the 1920s onwards, including Mellor Park on the north side of Henley Beach Road. White Park, which is now surrounded by the Kooyonga Golf Course was also created in the 1920s. The subdivision on Willingale Avenue remains intact and retains some significant large 1920s dwellings on their original large allotments. There are also later houses and infill places in this subdivision.
As Lockleys made up part of the area known as the Reed Beds, it typically suffered from flooding at times of high river, and this continued until the Western Metropolitan Drainage Scheme was undertaken in the 1930s. 
Lockleys was the location of one of the three cinemas in West Torrens and it still functions in the Soldier's Memorial Hall on Henley Beach Road. The Soldier's Memorial Hall was also used for Anglican Church Services from 1926 onwards, but it was not until 1964 that the Lockleys Anglican community had their own church, St Richard of Chichester. Previous to that all Anglicans had to worship at St. James in Mile End, outside the West Torrens district.
During the War the Lockleys Recreation Reserve and the Lockleys Oval were used for horse shows and gymkhanas with the aim of raising funds for the War effort. After the Second World War the Housing Trust began building residences for sale. The first group of these were constructed in Brighton in 1946 and the second group of these sale homes was completed on Rowell Road at Lockleys in November of 1946. Over time, the profile of the West Torrens community has become increasingly weighted towards the aged, and it was found that there were particularly high concentrations of elderly people in areas such as Lockleys from the 1960s onwards. [From 1998 Heritage Review]
FULHAM derives its name from Fulham Farm established by John White, one of the first settlers in the area. White settled on land which fronted Henley Beach Road and Tapleys Hill Road in 1836. He constructed a house close to the River Torrens in 1840 and later a chapel on the main road in 1855. John White was one of the most notable settlers in the West Torrens district and his sons went on to construct other  residences on the estate.  The Oaks which was constructed by John White's son Charles White, and Weetunga the house of Samuel White Junior, still remain, and both are entered in the State Heritage Register. 
Early Fulham was characterised by farming and open paddocks. The land returns for 1843 include this Fulham area in the geographical location of the Reed Beds and significant early settlers such as A H Davis on Moore Farm, James and Charles Fisher at Lockleys, Joseph Johnson at Frogmore and John White at Fulham Farm are listed within this area. Each of these major settlers held up to 60 acres of wheat while John White had 130 acres of wheat and James and Charles Fisher had 190 acres between them. Other settlers had smaller amounts of between five and twenty acres. 
Over time residents within these smaller villages like Fulham, which were associated with agricultural districts, required the introduction of better water supply and sanitation, as well as other community services such as the provision of churches and schools and the Fulham Public School was constructed in 1875 and replaced private schools in the area. 
The suburb of Fulham is closely associated with the River Torrens and the flood plains and Fulham is bisected by Henley Beach Road and the southern boundary runs along the River Torrens outlet. The area south of Henley Beach Road was subdivided after the Second World War, once the drainage program had been completed, and settlement was made possible on the originally frequently flooded river flats of the River Torrens (the former Reed Beds). 
The market gardens throughout the Fulham area supported many families during the period of depression in the 1930s but almost none of these horticultural activities remain in the district as residential development has displaced this early form of land use. The increase in post-War population also resulted in new schools being built within the West Torrens District and one of them was constructed in Fulham (after 1960). 
In 1984 the first stage of the Fulham Retirement Village was opened, which reflected the aging of the population, and this village was constructed around The Oaks, one of the White families' homes in Fulham. [From 1998 Hertiage Review]

BROOKLYN PARK (Suburb)

During the late 1870s with the extension of main roads through West Torrens there was an extensive speculation at Brooklyn Park where 545 allotments were put up for sale by Garfield Land Proprietors. Street names in this subdivision such as Buik and Farrgat were those of the Directors of the abortive Tramway Company, which suggests that both enterprises, the subdivision and the company were floated as speculation.
Brooklyn Park is bounded by Henley Beach Road and crosses Burbridge Road [now Sir Donald Bradman Drive], and extends further south to Ralph Street. In the 1880s apart from some residential development along the main roads, the area was essentially paddocks and fields with some orchards. 
Brooklyn Park contained religious buildings such as the Methodist Church (later the Uniting Church). The Institute of St John the Baptist's Cottage was established for the care of delinquent men and boys (off Lipsett Terrace) and later became the Salesian College (in 1944) by which time the reformatory had become a Boy's Town, an orphanage for senior boys. 
Brooklyn Park was the site of twenty eight SA Housing Trust rental units completed in August 1939 and designed by H E Cowell. During the 1930s the sewerage system, which was being extended through West Torrens included Brooklyn Park. 
Brooklyn Park was also the location of the radio transmitter for Station 5CL completed in 1925. This radio tower was a landmark as it was sixty two metres high and remained in Divett Street until the establishment of the airport meant it was relocated. [From 1998 Heritage Review]
