Kadina
[General description] These public buildings exude confidence. The Town Hall and Council chamber, built from local limestone in the Classical style were constructed in stages between 1880-1883, starting as an Institute. The clock and tower was added in 1903, donated by Mr. DF Squibb, a Kadina blacksmith and wheelwright. The Savings Bank building was designed by architect Mr. J.F Jenkins of Port Pirie and opened in 1908. It is in the 'Federation Freestyle' style which embraces a mix of influences ie. Art Nouveau, Gothic, Tudor and Classical. [On back of photograph] 'KadinaTown Hall and Savings Bank / Taylor Street / 1932/ Savings Bank building opened 16 March 1908 (vide O.

[General description] This abandoned mill stands amongst gumtrees, falling into ruin. The central part of the building has started to collapse, probably because of damage done when machinery was removed.

Carrier's Cart, Moonta
Horse drawn cart being the J. N. Ellery "Parcel express", carrier, thought to be at Moonta. Information from a researcher: 'In 1909, the West Picture Company, which in the previous year had opened Adelaide's first permanent picture theatre, expanded to rural areas of South Australia with weekly picture shows at Gawler, Balaklava, Kadina, Wallaroo, Port Pirie and Moonta. The Moonta picture show was scheduled to open in the Institute Hall on 29 October 1909. Unfortunately, the electric plant did not arrive from Sydney and the picture show opened the following week. (Wallaroo and Kadina where able to open on time as those towns had a local electricity supply.) I am confident that the photo was taken in the first week of November 1909 when the films were being delivered along with a 'petrol electric picture show set' (see page 41 of "Adelaide's Silent Nights" for a photo of one of these and compare it to the one on the back of the cart.) More importantly, I do not think the person on the cart is J.N. Ellery. I think it is T.J. West who is a significant figure in Australian cinema history. (See "Adelaide's Silent Nights" for a photo of T.J. West.)'.

Railway Yard, Peterborough
Railway coaling yard, Peterborough. The railway arrived in Petersburg (later Peterborough) in 1881 when the line from Jamestown opened. Carriage of ore from Broken Hill to the smelters at Port Pirie was the major contributor to the rail traffic through Peterborough with 70 trains a day passing through the town in 1898. Over the next fifteen years the line was recognised as the busiest single track railway in the world (1911-1914 especially so)
