In 1901 reportedly there were 55 hotels operating between Telford St and Hunter St West.

Wow!!!. Now only a handful if that !!!!

Take this walk of discovery, rekindle a few memories and marvel at our hotel history as well as pick up a few extra points on the side.

Where was the Locomotive Hotel? Why that name? What of the Blue Peter's previous name? Who was the hotel's architect? The

Princess Royal Hotel!!! Where was that? What hotel was opposite the Royal Hotel in Darby St?

What ever became of the licence of the Centennial Hotel?

London Tavern Hotel!!!

Never heard of it.

Rouse's Hotel was not all that far.

You will need good walking shoes. A flat walk but nearly 3 kms round trip.

Bring your image capturing device as the city is sure to change even more.
