did not appear with reference to the brewery; though it is likely that being a banker, his interest in the business was only ever financial, and remained so. The brewery then operated as "Crawford Brothers", though the name of no brother ever appeared in connection with the brewery. James Field Crawford (1815 – 24 May 1906), the explorer, and Thomas George Tremlett Crawford (c. 1825 – 5 September 1911) were brothers, for whom Mt. Crawford may have been named. The brewery was situated on Lot 83, Manton Street, Hindmarsh, which Crawford leased from Daniel Cudmore, and later purchased; the area today bounded by Orsmond, Milner, and Manton streets, and Crawford Lane. The site was noted for the safe drinking water which the brewery extracted from an aquifer, using a pump built by John Ridley, and made available to nearby residents. In 1850 Crawford purchased from Luther Scammell a strip of land, soon dubbed Brewery Lane, for better access from the Port Road to his brewery. At a later date this was known as Kangaroo Lane, and is now Crawford Lane. In July 1854 W. H. Clark, with partners J. B. Spence, J. H. Parr and Edward Logue, took over Crawford Brothers' Hindmarsh Brewery in order to close it down and supply its customers from their Halifax Street brewery. The business continued however under Crawford, but under what conditions it has not yet been found. In 1859, under financial stress, he assigned the property to his creditors. Around this time Crawford was manager of the Pirie Street Brewery. In 1861 he purchased the brewery founded in 1859 by Watson & Borrers, on Hindmarsh Lot 162 on nearby Richards Street. and taken over the following year by the short-lived partnership of Bauer & Coulthard. Crawford was an avid real estate speculator, which may have been the cause of his bankruptcy in 1867 after four years of drought and recession, and he departed for Ararat, Victoria out of reach of his creditors. The property was purchased by Haussen & Catchlove. In 1869 E. J. F. Crawford founded the Crawford and Moyle brewery, later Crawford Brothers, and did much to encourage local hop growing. The brewery closed sometime before 1875 and he was employed at the Victoria Brewery, Sale, Victoria. He and his wife died there, she in 1877 and he died intestate in 1880. Probate was granted to his eldest son James John
