Summary

[On back of photograph] 'Tweed Factory Lobethal'. [General description] A man in a bowler leans against a post and rail fence in front of a group of stone buildings, one with a tall square chimney. These buildings were constructed from 1851 as Kleinschmidt's brewery. Twenty years later the owner closed the brewery and went into the business of hop growing. The vacated building then housed the Lobethal Tweed Factory which eventually became the Onkaparinga Woollen Company, employing hundreds of local people until its closure in 1992 [See B 12411 for a similar photograph].
