SEMAPHORE: Summer Carnival Australia Day fireworks. Rides, games, and activities along the foreshore and fireworks display.
The seaside spot is the place to be with a variation of entertainment this summer season. With Thrill rides, Dodgem Cars, Bungy Trampolines, Water Balls, Temporary Tattoos,
sideshow games and so much more
Semaphore has long been a meeting place for friends and family in summer time since anyone can remember and the Semaphore Summer Carnival is fast becoming an icon of the

Taken from corner of Swan Street looking north towards the Semaphore Bandstand and Palais. The Municpal Tramways Trust (MTT) Rotunda was built in 1919 and demolished in the 1970's. At the base of the Rotunda was a fist aid room. The Hindmarsh Town Band and SA Railways Band were regularly heard at both Semaphore and Largs Rotundas.
The Semaphore Palais, built by the Fricker Brothers, opened as the Semaphore Ideal Palais in December 1922. It had an oak lined café and changing cubicles for men and women on the ground floor and a dance hall on the second floor. People could hire towels and swimming costumes from the Palais.

The Semaphore Palais (also known as The Maris Palais)
This nostalgic relic of balmier days was built in 1922 by the Fricker Brothers on a 21-year lease. It was comprised of a beach kiosk, bathing pavilion and large dance hall.
At ground level, the Bathing Pavilion provided lockers and showers, as well as the hire of bathing costumes, beach shelters, etc. The first floor housed the café, tearooms and dance hall.
A number of clubs met regularly at the Palais, and in later years the building was used by the Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club.
For many years, the reinforced concrete structure stood in derelict condition, but was renovated in the early 90’s, maintaining its distinctive 1920’s architecture and reopened as the The Semaphore Palais Hotel & Function Centre.

The Semaphore Hotel is the first pub on the corner from the Beach on Semaphore Road in Historic Semaphore Village, with it's Antique Shops, Cafes, Cinema, Steam Train, Historic Jetty and Great Beach on Adelaide's suburban coastal region just a short 5 minute drive from Port Adelaide.
Established in 1854, the Semaphore Hotel has been making seafarers and holiday makers welcome for nearly 150 years and the popular "Sembar" has been a local band venue for over 20 years.
Typical lunch pail type I picked up
and today looking over some possible resto ideas I unearthed this from my work table.
its not bad a small crack on one of the mount ears but still solid .
This RSA lamp pattern made by many manufacturers
from L.S. Brach Mfg. and ADLAKE and others .
But looking at the cast info the numerals looked rather familiar
the same font type that Stiles uses from his casting house.
I just might have to strip this and look but so far only cast numbers had been found .
* P in circle cast onto handle was found
this could possibly be Plymouth Foundry , Indiana .

Built 1867 as Wesleyan, using Melbourne bluestone brought to SA as ballast in wheat ships, architect W Deverall. Extensions (transept, vestry & schoolroom ) foundation stone 20 Aug 1877 by Mrs George Shorney, designed by W Pett of Kent Town, re-opened 20 Jan 1878, Methodist after Union 1900, Uniting 1977.
“In 1865 a small preaching place and a Sunday school were opened at the corner of Hall street, and Woolnough road when the neighbourhood was a dreary waste of spinifex and reeds, and when the houses were few and poorly built.” [Register 6 Oct 1927]
“A neat little church was opened recently by the Wesleyans. It faces the road to the Semaphore, and is built of Melbourne stone, with brick dressings, porch and bell turret. The dimensions are 30 feet by 35 feet, and being 20 feet from the floor to the ceiling, it is capable of being doubled in length at a future time. It cost, with the land, £650, and is a credit to the neighborhood.” [Advertiser 7 Jan 1868]
“For the past ten years the Wesleyans residing in the locality of the Semaphore have been worshipping in a neat little gothic chapel, erected in 1867 on the south-eastern side of the road to the beach, and at that time it was considered a sufficiently commodious building, seating as it did some 170; but with the increase of population, and the added strength of the denomination, it has been found necessary to make extensive additions to the main building. . . The transept will be similar in design to the church . . . and will accommodate with the present building 400 people. At the back of this the schoolroom is to be erected . . . and in addition two classrooms.” [Register 21 Aug 1877]
“The Rev. S. Knight complimented the congregation on the improvements that had been made. He thought the first promoters of the church when they had it built did not believe the Semaphore would grow so rapidly as it had. In his opinion Glenelg had not developed so rapidly as the Semaphore, and from all appearances if they made the most economical use of their sitting room the present building would be large enough for six years. One thing he was sure the Wesleyans had been doing all over the colony, and that was erecting their churches twice over, much to the amusement of the spectators and their own astonishment. (Laughter.) They had old chapels lying like wrecks about the country.” [Chronicle & Weekly Mail 26 Jan 1878]
Semaphore Methodist Church. . . The story of this Church commenced in the days when LeFevre Peninsula was a dreary waste of spinifex, reeds, and drifting sand. Dwellings were few and far between, and of a humble description, the more populous part in the early days being Glanville way, clustered round the drink-shop (you could hardly call it an hotel). Of roads and footpaths there were none worthy of the name. . . From March till July, 1867, trustee meetings were held in the old Port Adelaide Methodist schoolroom. . . the purchase of land and the erection of a building were decided upon, the honorary architect being Mr. Diverall, and £100 cash being in hand. . . The first little church was opened for public worship in 1867, being then the only church on that side of the water.” [Aust Christian Commonwealth 14 Sep 1917]
