| 説明 | Watervale.White settlement began in this district around 1846. A small private town was subdivided here in 1851 on the banks of Eyre Creek a tributary of the Wakefield River when a local farmer decided to create a town. It was sited in the well-watered Clare Valley and was a stopping place on the journey from Auburn to Clare. A town school was opened in 1853 and a Bible Christian Methodist Church was erected in 1855. This 1855 church became the church hall when a second larger church was built in 1867. It is now the Uniting Church. The architect of this second church was Daniel Garlick who also had commissions in Clare. The small village of the 1850s and 1860s soon had stores and a hotel. The most prominent structure in the town was the Stanley Grammar School which was constructed in 1861 as an exclusive academic institution. The first headmaster Mr Cole, who ran the grammar school in the Bible Christian Church for the early years ran the school until his retirement in in 1904. A Board of Trustees financed and controlled the grammar school and Mr Cole the headmaster eventually replaced the Board and became the owner of the Grammar School. In 1917 the then struggling school, which also had boarders, closed. Watervale still had a state school which had operated as such from 1884. Members of the Hughes family attended the Grammar School including Sir Walter Watson Hughes’ nephews from the Duncan family. Just outside the town is located Hughes Park the grand homestead of Sir Walter Watson Hughes one of SA’s leading pastoralists of the 19th century and a major owner and investor in the Wallaroo and Moonta cooper mines. It was on some of his land that the first grapes were planted at Springvale Winery in 1868. After his death the estate was inherited by the Sir John Duncan family. Vineyards were first established in the 1860s with Springvale Winery (later Quelltaler) being the first winery established at Watervale in 1868. Others followed in the 1890s. The town seem to progress in the early 20th century with the pretty Anglican Church built in 1907 and the town institute was built in 1915. The railway station was erected in 1919 when the line to Clare was finished but it is now demolished. The old flourmill built in the 19th century when wheat was the main agricultural crop of the district was demolished in 1928. |
