Cover image for Clarendon Winery, Clarendon, S. Aust., 1987.
Description 
A view overlooking the original Clarendon Winery buildings in the foreground, and the motel units in the background. The land comprising the former Clarendon Vineyard consisting of 38 acres was purchased by Englishman William Leigh in 1846 and managed for him by John and George Morphett. The first vines were planted in 1849 from cuttings imported from Spain and the vineyard was later extended. Edward John Peake took ownership in 1858 and was exporting wine to England, India, Java, New Zealand and interstate. Several wines won significant awards and medals, including the Intercolonial Exhibition champion medal in 1866, and the Paris show of 1867. Joseph Gillard of Norwood became the next owner between 1876-1882 and production expanded further. On his death in 1897 management and control of the vineyard went to his younger son William. The property was later owned by E Mason who removed most of the vines for orchards in the 1930s. After falling into disrepair, the complex was redeveloped in the 1980s into the 'Old Clarendon Inn' featuring a restaurant and accommodation. The vineyard was bought by McLaren Vale winemakers Toby and Emmanuelle Bekkers in 2020.

Cover image for Clarendon cricketers, Clarendon, S. Aust., circa 1900.
Description 
The Clarendon Cricket Club had been established by 1864, their original ground being where the school was built, and then in a location where the weir was built, eventually finding their home on seven acres on the banks of the Onkaparinga River. From the South Australian Weekly Chronicle 18 May 1867: 'On Saturday last a cricket match took place on the Clarendon cricket ground between the Clarendon and Morphett Vale Cricket Clubs. The weather was all that could be desired, and during the day several ladies graced the plain with their presence. The play was in some instances superior. The bowling of Peck and Chase, the wicket-keeping of Clark, and the long-stopping of Morphett were much admired. Through the kindness of Mr S Davis I am provided with the scores, which I forward, showing the runs as 84 in one innings, and the Morphett Vale 67 in two innings'.
