Summary

Richard Dixon Hawkins, the owner of Aldgate Pump Hotel arrived in South Australia in 1842. He named his hotel after an area in London just north of the Tower and East of the City of London. The term meaning "Old Gate" is appropriate as the pump was located outside the original little inn and near the entry point to Adelaide. Richard Dixon Hawkins established the coaching inn in 1852. He was the son of a London publican and he hoped to capitalise on the rush to the goldfields at Echunga
