Overway bridge of G & R Wills and Co showing two horses and carts in lane
Description

This photo shows the overway bridge connecting G & R Wills and Co, circa 1919. G. & R. Wills & Co. Ltd. was a major softgoods wholesaler/draper in South Australia. Richard Wills emigrated to South Australia in May 1849 and was soon joined by his brother George Wills (ca.1824 – 6 December 1906) who brought with him a quantity of drapery, and set up shop in Rundle Street, Adelaide. By 1922 the company also had establishments in Melbourne, Perth, Fremantle, Kalgoorlie and Broken Hill as well as agencies in Sydney and Brisbane. The Adelaide headquarters occupied the block bounded by Rundle Street, Gawler Place, North Terrace and Fisher place, and a factory in Pulteney Street.

The overway bridge was later demolished.
