How many hotel were there in Launceston prior to 100?
I don’t know. There are about 190 entries on this site and another 97 drafts. Some of them are from the country but there are many in the city which have no post at all yet. So 300 is probably a good estimate.
Now, there’s a lot of work in each of these entries. The smaller ones usually take hours. The longer ones takes days. (I don’t get anything back for it. Just the fun of finding out where each place was and a web hosting bill that I can’t really afford and needs to be upgrade. *sigh*) So this is definitely a word in progress and no where near finished. I am, slowly, still working on it though.
So, if you are interested in a house that you can’t find, ask. Please. It gives me the incentive to get that entry done. And ask questions. It’s also encouraging. (Just, if you do ask, please come back and acknowledge the answer, so I don’t feel I wasted my time, and if there’s no answer, give it a nudge. Your question might have gone to spam or got caught up in the Great Email Mix-up of 2024.)

Hi l live in England and l am trying to find a hotel that was called TAYLOR HOTEL that was in the Waratah area Tasmania around the 1900s my ancestor was a tin prospector and was called William Cundy . Kind regards Paul Hayes
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?
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
