King William Street
North corner of King William and Rundle Street. The newly opened draper's shop owned by Brewer and Robertson was advertising its wares in the Register on 3 October 1849. A glass door had a beehive motif portrayed in gold leaf. Since then the corner has been known as Beehive Corner and is a meeting place. In this sketch by ST Gill shoppers, militia, horses and carriages are gathering under a large beehive on the roof of the draper's shop.
