Location notes
From Smythe’s map of Launceston, 1835, showing two buildings on the corner of George and Yoek Streets. The bottom right one is the Bricklayers’ Arms (later Victoria, Caledonian, Union Club, O’Keefe’s). The bottom left might be the location but also it might one of those in York Street which are not actually on the corner.
