Edward Clark constructed a small brewery in 1888 on Holland Street, Adelaide, just off King William Street, near Sturt
Street. Edward sold the brewery in 1889, and it had several owners over the next 6 years until eventually Frank Grenville purchased the site in 1895 and went about improving the brewery. The Holland Street site quickly became too small for Grenville, and a new brewery was built on Sturt Street around the corner from Holland Street. The new
brewery was operational by 1901, and the company continued to successfully brew small batches of beer. Frank died
in 1915 in a horse and cart accident, and the brewery closed in 1919 Ecks Softdrink Company (Former Victoria Brewery), viewed from Gilbert Street c1922 State Library SA [B1056]  Town Acre 555, Site for the Victoria Brewery, Sturt Street, Photo dated 1940 |
