EXTRACT From Town Of Gawler 2020 Heritage Survey: <1>
David Fotheringham was born in Gawler in 1858, the son of Alexander Fotheringham and nephew of Gawler brewers James, Thomas and Robert Fotheringham. Around 1878 David and his brother, Robert John Moir Fotheringham, developed a cordial and aerated water factory in Water Street, Goose Island, known as D and RJ Fotheringham Cordial Factory. The men had purchased Lot 2, the site of Roediger’s Flax Mills, located only 4 lots to the northeast of the subject property; this placed David Fotheringham conveniently close to his business premises. David died in 1898 at the young age of forty and the business was sold in 1902.
