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.

In 1835, Henry Davis was advertising as being at the Fountain Wine Vaults, but at the bottom of that advertisement, he is seeking a “two-story commodious House, in a respectable part of Launceston suitable for a first-rate Hotel.”

There is reference 1845 (see bottom of the page) of an application for the King’s Head, later Brisbane Hotel to be licensed as Spread Eagle. I don’t know if this is the same site as the 1830s house. There’s nothing else to suggest it is, but on the other head, the earliest I have for the King’s Head is 1835.

On Wednesday last our worthy Magistrates, Messrs. Kenworthy, Gordon, and Simpson, went round to inspect the various public houses, and also those houses for which applications had been made to be allowed to retail spirituous liquors. At Alexander Stewart’s they found only one bed, that in which he and his wife sleep, the house is an old one, with two small front rooms, and one back room, there was not one single chair, and scarcely a table in this house, yet it was relicensed but he bows very obsequiously.
