cnr of Tamar and Cimitiere Street

1833 John Griffith
1834-35 William Griffiths
1836-40 John Jacob Driver

This seems to have been in at least two locations. The first one, which seems to have been short lived, was no longer a licenses premises by March 1834 (see advertisment below).  The second location wsa in Tamar (Bridge) Street. In the later advertisments the references to Tamar, Cimitiere & William St might all referring to property marked with an X on the Smythe’s map of 1835, or they might be referring to different locations and therefore different buildings. I am looking into it.

Smythe 1835

Also using the map above, there is only one corner of Tamar and Cimitiere that has buildings marked, shown here with a red arrow.

Currency Lass

by

Cnr Brisbane & George Streets?

1834 John Connolly, Currency Lass, George St
1835 John Connolly, Currency Lass
1836 John Connolly, Currency Lass, Brisbane Street
1836 Transferred to Wellington & Frederick Streets

In 1830, John Connolly is licensed for the Elephant and Castle in Brisbane Street, which then moved to Wellington St, where it was known as the Currency Lass until 1839. His 1830 premises might be same as this one.

In 1836, it seems the Brisbane St building was put up for sale and the business transferred to Wellington St.
