| 説明 | McLaren Vale. As houses, usually pine and pug, or stripped wood and thatch were erected on the road to Willunga one enterprising land owner erected a hotel- the Devonshire House in 1849. Other hotels followed. This became the nucleus for the private township of McLaren Vale where white settlers had first started farming in 1840. In 1845 Alexander Kelly established the first vineyard at McLaren Vale and in 1862 he and other businessmen established the Tintara Vineyard at McLaren Vale beginning the commercial wine industry in this region. Thomas Hardy bought this property in 1876 to add to his already extensive wine production from the Adelaide Plains. But John Reynell (1809-1873) of nearby Reynella established the first vines in SA on his property at Reynella in 1841, producing his first wine in 1843. Reynell in 1854 established a private town called Reynella on his land. This area was surveyed by a Mr McLaren from Light’s Survey Department, but it is generally agreed these days that the town was named after the David McLaren, the General Manager of the South Australia Company who was the major landowner of the district. McLaren Vale began as two separate villages- Gloucester and Bellevue. The Hotel McLaren, erected in 1857, began life as the Clifton and later the Bellevue Hotel. The most amazing local resident was Mary Ann Aldersey, the first English woman missionary to China in the 1840s. She settled in McLaren Vale to be near her brother and nieces. She had a large home built which she called Tsong Gyiaou after a village in China where she once worked. When she died in 1868 her house was inherited by her two nieces who established a boarding school in Tsong Gyiaou. In 1899 the house and school were destroyed by fire thus ending the school. But the house was rebuilt exactly and re-opened in 1900. In the 1940s it became part of the local hospital. All the misses Aldersey are buried in the Congregational cemetery in McLaren Vale. |
