| Description |
Sandergrove Methodist Church and cemetery near Strathalbyn. It opened in 1867. It is now falling down. Almost all graves are for members of the Tucker family who built the grand two storey house nearby called Lakeview in 1857. In 1849 a local farmer, William Rogers subdivided seven town blocks which he called Sandergrove. His mother was Elizabeth Sanders hence the name. A Post Office opened in Sandergrove in 1851 and one town block was reserved for a school. It opened in 1859 and operated until 1952. The main building in town was the Wesleyan Methodist Church which opened in 1867. It has been closed for many years but a few graves remain in the attached cemetery (mainly named Billing or Tucker.) Sandergrove’s main claim to fame was the rail junction about 2 kms from the town which is the start of the spur line to Milang which opened in 1883. Until the line closed a daily train did the 22 minute trip to Milang after meeting the train to or from Adelaide. Until the 1930s this train was met by a steamer at Milang that then carried passengers across Lakes Alexandrina and Albert to Meningie and the Coorong. |
