DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Hamley Bridge Institute and Soldiers' Memorial
Registered Name Institute and Soldiers' Memorial
Significance The main hall of the Institute was erected in 1884, when Sir John Duncan laid the foundation stone. The building was enlarged in 1904, with new rooms at front and rear, and other additions and alterations have been made since. The 1933 description mentions a 'splendid picture gallery (which) is a unique feature for country Institutes', but since then the collection of pictures has been discarded and mostly sold. A stone and marble obelisk in front of the Institute was built as a War Memorial in 1920. The Institute and Memorial form a distinctive landmark closing the view to the west along Hamley Bridge's main street.

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
