West End Brewery (Hindley Street)

The building in Hindley Street, known as the West End Brewery, continued to be used by SA Brewing until its sale in 1980.

[5] Simms took over the Halifax Street operation in March 1856,[1] then in February 1858 Clark sold the property to Henry Noltenius.

Noltenius found himself in financial difficulties, and neither Simms nor Clark could repay any of the £3,530 they collectively owed him, which resulted in his insolvency.

[10][11] The location had the advantage of proximity to the Parklands (less smell nuisance), the Port Road (transport of raw materials and finished product) and the River Torrens (handy for discharge of effluent).

[14] The West End Brewery proved highly profitable and Simms and Chapman became wealthy men.

[15] In 1888, Simms and Chapman joined forces with Edwin Smith, owner of Kent Town Brewery (formerly Logue's).
