I want to find the location of all the old hotels in Launceston, and a picture of them. So maybe ALL is not possible, but as many as possible.

I do this by tracing the changes in sign (name), licensee and location through the annual licensing lists, and anything other information I come across. There's a lot missing though. Oral and family history can help fill in the gaps, so comments are welcome.
