Stepney is a small triangular near-city suburb of Adelaide within the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters.[2] Stepney contains a mix of retail, manufacturing, professional services and distribution outlets within a cosmopolitan population strongly influenced by post World War II immigration.[3]
For much of its history Stepney has been largely working class with a preponderance of small houses and units on small blocks of land. However, Stepney is now the home of much light industry. Streets such as Nelson Street have lost their residents whilst other streets have seen the number of residents diminish as houses have been sold to accommodate a wide range of enterprises.
History[edit]
Early European settlement[edit]
Stepney was named after an inner-city district in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets by George Muller (its founder) who hailed from there and in 1850 created the 'Village of Stepney' out of section 259, Hundred of Adelaide.[4] Muller built the Maid and Magpie hotel.[5]
Whilst Adelaide was to be a city of fine buildings and a refined populace, set free from the constraints of convict influence, George Muller's Stepney was to bear a strong resemblance to its less refined namesake, replete with slums,[1] near the City of London. The early settlement of German settlers in Stepney was, however, somewhat unusual. Though not as well known as the Prussians who settled Klemzig, Hahndorf or Tanunda, they were there in sufficient numbers to develop schools for their children. [2] Notable members of this community were Hans Heysen and Carl Laubman of Laubman and Pank. During 2008 the last three cottages in Nelson Street, described as 'built by Haken Linde, a successful member of the German community,' were marked for demolition by the Norwood Payneham St Peters council.[3] Significant calls were made for the cottages to be preserved and the cottages were retained.
The 19th Century[edit]
Stepney was, despite its humble beginnings, not without influence and in 1851 the South Australian Ballot Association was set up and at the Maid and Magpie Hotel, and on 11 February 1851 the secret ballot was advocated.[4] This movement was most significant in the development of South Australia's democratic system.Returning miners from the gold rushes of Ballarat and Bendigo were instrumental in building many of Adelaide's fine homes and businesses. Stepney shared in this phenomenon with some substantial residences amid the poorer houses, though bankruptcy was never far from those who acquired wealth quickly.[5]
In the early 1860s semi-rural Stepney was the haunt of some rather colourful characters who operated around Adelaide's parklands. The area around the Maid and Magpie Hotel was the scene of various robberies by the romantically named Captain Moonlight, not to be confused with the better known bushranger in New South Wales named Captain Moonlight. Stepney's highwayman, it later transpired, was armed with nothing more lethal than a camouflaged pipe-case and, after incarceration, became a respected member of society.[6]
The equally romantically named Captain Thunderbolt, not to be confused with Captain Thunderbolt in New South Wales, was said to roam the area and even emulated the mythical Robin Hood..
Richard Dawes, carpenter of Prospect Village, returning home.. was.. attacked by Captain Thunderbolt.. Mr Dawes [handed] him his purse, but on inspecting it [found] some few silvercoins of little value; [Captain Thunderbolt] said, 'Oh! I see you're a poor man like myself and I don't want to injure you..'
[7] Whether the two were one and the same cannot be said, but the accounts support the growing mythology of lawlessness to be found in the area.
By the 1870s Stepney contained many small houses with small backyards and no drainage. They were considered to be hotbeds of disease and fever.[8] These houses, however, gave Stepney much of its racy nature with its inhabitants developing strength in their inevitable struggles with life. In the late 1870s these struggles evidenced themselves in the pilfering of firewood and the subsequent use of dynamite in planted logs by the firewood owners, to exact retribution.[9]
During this time Stepney became the home of some significant industries lured by proximity to the city and the development of improved transport. In 1888 the Phoenix Distillery at 42 Nelson Street was bought by Douglas Tolley and his brother Ernest, together with a London distiller Thomas Scott. They traded in the name of Tolley, Scott and Tolley.[10] Tolley, Scott & Tolley was, at one time, Australia's leading brandy producer.[11]
Toward the end of the 19th Century, Stepney was briefly the home and a place of schooling for a very young Hans Heysen. Hans was awarded an Order of the British Empire and subsequently knighted for his service to art. [12]
The 20th Century[edit]
Stepney continued to develop. Larger houses were built and around the turn of the century more houses were built in the area further from the city and adjoining Maylands. However, peace and prosperity was interrupted by the First World War. A search of the National Archives of Australia reveals that 38 soldiers enlisted showing their place of birth as Stepney, an extraordinary number given the small size of the suburb.[13]
Post-1945 Stepney again underwent change as large numbers of refugees from war-torn Europe moved in. Shops began selling previously unheard of foods such as salami or artichokes and the flowers in often tiny front gardens were replaced by vegetables. Again, the number of children increased and second creek and the small number of spare allotments became their playgrounds, complete with re-enactments of battles fought far away. Houses changed colour, copying those found Greece and Italy and the streets resounded with voluble Italian, Greek and ironically - German.
This influx of residents was to be a brief hiatus amid the loss of movement toward industrialisation as future generations, now more affluent, moved away from often painful memories and their houses were taken over by industries eager to locate near to the city or removed to provide wider roads.
Geography[edit]
Stepney is bounded on its north-west side by Payneham Road which connects Adelaide city, via North Terrace, to Payneham and Felixstow and beyond to suburbs such as Highbury and thence to the Adelaide Hills. Magill Road, the southern boundary, connects the city-centre, via North Terrace, to Kensington Park and beyond to Magill and then the Adelaide Hills. On its eastern side it is bounded by Frederick Street.
Stepney is intersected by Nelson Street which divides Stepney into two roughly distinct areas. Nelson Street also provides part of a near-city link between the eastern and northern suburbs via the Stephen Terrace bridge between St Peters and Gilberton.
Generally, the area to the east of Nelson Street contains larger allotments, though there are some notable exceptions. The area to the west of Nelson Street generally contains smaller allotments and is more heavily industrialised.
Land usage[edit]
Apart from some relatively small, though significant reserves, Stepney is residential and industrial. Industrial development dominates the area to the west of Nelson Street, whilst residential development continues to dominate the area to the east of Nelson Street.

Community services[edit]
Stepney has a tradition of self-help with formal and informal care groups. Within this tradition the following groups now serve the local community..
- The Community Lunch Program is held at the Perriam Community Centre Cornish Street Stepney, fortnightly on a Monday at 12noon.[17]
- Door to door transport is provided to and from local shopping centres on Wednesday, pickups start from 9am to the Avenues Shopping Centre.[18]
- The Perriam Centre and St Peters Youth Centre is located at Cornish Street, Stepney.[19]
- The St Peters Childcare Centre is located at 42 - 44 Henry Street, Stepney.[20]
- The St Peters Fair, combining national Harmony Day celebrations, is held at the Linde Reserve / Dunstone Grove, Stepney.[21]
- The Women's Community Centre (64 Nelson Street) was established in 1977 with the aim of meeting the needs of women in the community, in particular those isolated at home with young children, with a language barrier, or with limited ability to participate in community affairs.[22]
Schools[edit]
Stepney has been the home of several schools though changing populations and the presence of excellent nearby schools has meant their demise with their former premises now offering a testimony to the conflict between high ideals and reality. Only the Agnes Goode Kindergarten [23] remains, fittingly acting as a memorial to past schools and a rather feisty justice of the peace and former political and social activist.[24]
Early records mention schools provided for the German settlers in Stepney, though little is known of them.[25]
In 1855 a school in Stepney, run by M A Moody with 34 students was gazetted in the South Australian Government Gazette.[26]
In the late 1890s, the King's Grammar School [27] and Somersal House School existed in Stepney.[28] Both no longer exist as schools.
St Joseph's Catholic School was located for a time after the Second World War, next to the church that gave it life, and overlooking Second Creek. Sadly, the children's laughter that echoed over the creek and among the church buildings is now gone.
