Hello ODK History Lovers

I'm not sure I know where to start on this one. I have written about the
'pre-history' of the great Scott Bonnar Company - the premises of the man
Scott Bonnar - and the businesses he conducted at Young Street and Bloor
Court in inner Adelaide. If you like, this was the story before Mr Scott
Bonnar formed the company most know, Scott Bonnar Limited.

Here, I would like to record the first premises of the newly formed Scott
Bonnar Company of 1920. The Scott Bonnar Company was formed; it is said,
between two Bonnar brothers, Scott & Malcom. That may not be exactly true.

The company was situated at 3 Chapel Street, Thebarton, next to a corner
store and then, later, a motor garage, that would define the site's future.
Chapel Street was on the LH side heading outbound along Port Road. No 3
would have been the first property LH side, after the Port Road corner
block, heading down Chapel Street.

Nothing survives of the first premises today. Chapel Street is now a divided
street, and the Port Road and Chapel Street entry is really part of a large
vehicle dealership. I guess this is the heritage of the 1920's motor garage.

I guess this image symbolises the end of two great Australian manufacturers ...
