On New Year's eve people walk on Nevsky Prospect that is closed to cars and well protected by Omon Police against terrorism and other disorder. People go to the Palace Square to see the light show, bands and fireworks.
Bob Flippen, the Park's Education Specialist and members of the Prospect Historical Society explored the numerous attractions, past and present, located in this historic village, including the Prospect Meeting House, the South Side Rail Road depot, blacksmith shop, Taylor's Store, Allen's Hotel, Masonic Lodge, the N. & W. water tower and the relocated offices for Lawyer Lewis and Dr. Alsop. 2012 jlw
Foundation stone 26 Sep 1873 by Mrs John Carr of Glen Grove, opened 30 Nov 1873 as Wesleyan on land donated by Thomas Jones, Methodist after Union 1900, Uniting 1977, porch 1882, vestry 1913.
“foundation-stone of a Wesleyan Church at Prospect Hill, near Meadows. . . At 6 o'clock the assembly repaired to the old church at Spring Grove, where the Rev. J. Y. Simpson delivered his popular lecture on ‘Old-Fashioned Gateways’. . . His gateways were the five senses, called by Bunyan Eye-gate, Nose-gate, Ear-gate, Mouth-gate, and Feel-gate. The address was an intellectual treat. . . The church is to be built of local stone.” [Adelaide Observer 4 Oct 1873]
“the diamond jubilee of the Prospect Hill Methodist church was held. . . In the earlier days, religious services were held in the homes of the pioneers, then a small structure was erected on the range road and known as Mount Ephriam [sic]. Here, today, in the burial ground stand several monuments to departed pioneers. Then, to suit the convenience of many, another structure was erected, known as Spring Grove, about three-quarters of a mile from the present church, on the now main road, alternative services and Sunday school being held here. This building was later sold for £5, and the present building erected. . . Ten years later a porch was added, and in 1913 a vestry, which could be used as a kindergarten room and for social purposes. . . The present pulpit came from Mount Ephraim church when that was closed.” [Mount Barker Courier 2 Dec 1943]
“The Committee had besides subscribing carted all the material, including stones from the quarry, sand from the pit, slates from Willunga, timber from the city, &c., work amounting in value to £57 11s. 6d. The Rev. M. Wilson congratulated the meeting upon the erection of a neat and commodious place of worship in an old circuit where he had laboured.” Register 2 Jan 1874]
When clearance of houses occurs, as did on this hillside, often the pub survives. Recently several of them have been demolished in other areas in the latest phase of development. But here, where new houses have been built, not on photo, the pub remains. The origional houses were cleared, probably as part of the slum clearances which were all the rage, and if there were any plans to do anything with the area, apart from the nearby Burdock Way, then they were shelved. It should be noted that this hillside is undermined with tunnels made by coalminers.
