Not finding the hotel you want?

I just discovered I haven’t been getting notifications about new comments, and there are some interesting comments too. Sorry! I’ll get to them ASAP.

Update: to encourage me to finish this (ha) and to improve the coverage, I’m going to make an entry for every public house in Launceston (city and suburbs), with whatever information I have at the moment. Some of these will just be a name and street/suburb. I’ll can then finish them off later. These entries will be marked with **. This is in progress

There’s 130 completed posts on this blog, which means there are 130 hotels that I’ve tracked.
But there’s another 88 in drafts (started but not finished) and probably half that again that I have yet to do anything on, and realistically, I might not get to them as I’m busy with other projects. New projects are shiny and want attention. But… I still like to work on these when I have a reason. So, if you have an interest in an old hotel (your great-grandmother ran it, you’ve driven past it, you’ve heard the name and wondered where it was), drop me a comment below and come back in a few days weeks. (And yes, I’m do sometimes wander out to the nearby towns, although I can’t guarantee I have current photos for all those.)

    • That’s way outside the area I’m working with, but I had a quick look and couldn’t find any mention. There’s a Taylor who had a hotel at Penguin in the 1880s, but that’s not really near Waratah. It might have been a short lived name/premises so I missed it. Where did you come across it?

  2. Hi there.
    I am interested in finding out some information about William Bull and the Tam O’Shanter Inn. Located at the top of Canning street, Launceston.
    I believe the building still exists, from my own researching. I want to know for sure though.

    William Bull is a GGGGG grandfather of mine. So I am very keen to find out.

    Thanks so much. Love your page and research!
    Cheers
