Robert Hargreaves was a publican in Ballarat, Victoria, <1864-1889>.

History[edit | edit source]

In June 1864 Hargreaves was granted the license for the Borough Boundary Hotel in Creswick Road, Ballarat.[1]

In December 1877 the police objected to the renewal of Hargreaves' license on the grounds that the hotel was dilapidated and badly furnished. The case was adjourned for two weeks.[2]

Hargreaves is still mentioned as the licensee in July 1886.[3]

In June 1889, Hargreaves was "obliged to leave the district", and the license was transferred to his wife, Eliza Hargreaves.[4]
