A Stack of History

John Mentz (the original spelling) and Magdalena Lass arrived in Adelaide aboard the
Steinwaerder from Hamburg in January 1849 and married in May at Holy Trinity Church. In
about 1850 they set up a grocery and bakery shop in Wakefield Street, living in a two room
brick house at the rear. Ten years later John died, but, like many other colonial widows,
Magdalena managed the business until her sons could accept the responsibility. William took
over in 1867 and was joined by his brother August eleven years later.
Under their management the business made major changes. In 1878 a large shop was built at
the corner of Wakefield Street and Divett Place. Continuing success was reflected in
expansion of the factory and purchase of the Goode and Durrant warehouse in Divett Place
and the Wheelwright's Arms Hotel in Roper Street. In the 1880s the business moved into the
biscuit trade and closed the grocery section.
By the 1890s the firm operated under the trading name of W. Menz & Co. which became a
limited company in 1919. This became a public company in 1951 and by 1979 was part of
Arnott-Motteram-Menz.
Menz became a household name in South Australia. The family business and the company
were associated with the Wakefield Street premises for more than a century. All biscuit
production was transferred to premises at Marleston in 1953, followed by the offices, then the
remaining operations by 1979.
Besides these historical connections, part of the old factory is of architectural significance; the
two storey Italianate block extending along Wakefield Street from Divett Place to Roper
Street. The original section at the western corner dates from 1878. Major additions were
made by architects F.W. Dancker in 1911-12 and McMichael and Harris in 1946.
The complex includes a chimney at the rear which emphasises its important industrial role
and, more broadly, reflects the city's pre-eminence as an industrial centre in the nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries. Industry is a vital theme in the historical development of the
city: an 1876 S. Calvert engraving reveals more than thirty such chimneys in Adelaide. Now
there are only three. The factory interior has been frequently altered, once after a large
section was gutted by fire. Recent conversion and adaption have restored the original shop
front and balconettes on the Wakefield Street/Divett Place corner.
The complex is a significant element in Wakefield Street, pairing the two storey scale of the
Wakefield Hotel on the opposite side of Divett Place. Despite the construction of much larger
public buildings nearby during the 1970s, the Menz Biscuit Factory and the Wakefield Hotel
provide a valid reminder of Wakefield Street's nineteenth century scale of development and
visual character.

1954 Ford Popular 103E – Britain’s Little “Ford Pop” by Matthaeus Felder

1954 Ford Popular 103E – Britain’s Little “Ford Pop”

A charming survivor from Britain’s age of simple motoring: the Ford Popular 103E, built by Ford UK from 1953 to 1959 and affectionately known as the “Ford Pop.”

The Popular was conceived as an economical, no-frills alternative in post-war Britain — essentially a budget car using proven pre-war Ford engineering. Under the bonnet sat a 1172 cc side-valve inline-four, producing around 30 bhp, paired with a 3-speed manual gearbox. It was not fast, but it was honest, durable and accessible — exactly the sort of car that put ordinary people on the road in the 1950s.

A 1954 road test by The Motor recorded a top speed of just over 60 mph, with fuel consumption around 36 mpg imperial — modest figures today, but very respectable for an inexpensive family saloon of its time.

What makes the 103E so endearing is its delightful contradiction: by the mid-1950s it already looked old-fashioned, yet that upright grille, rounded wings and tiny saloon body gave it a character that later made it beloved by collectors, restorers and even British hot-rod builders. In short: not merely a cheap car, but a small piece of post-war motoring history.
