History[edit | edit source]
In December 1880 the publican was fined for Sunday trading:
Police v W. Hinchcliffe, suffering liquor to be drunk in his licensed house on a Sunday. Constable Mumford deposed to visiting Waterloo on Sunday, the 12th inst, and, on entering the bar of the defendant he found three men drinking. The defendant was present. The defendant stated that the persons drinking in the bar were lodgers; fined £1 with 2s 6d costs. [2]
The hotel's license was reviewed by the Licenses Reduction Board in February 1912.[1]
The case for the Victoria Junction Hotel, Waterloo, was re-opened, to give Mrs Robertson, a daughter of the licensee, an opportunity to give the Board further particulars as to the takings, etc. The opinion of the Board was that the licensee {Mrs Hinchcliffe) whose returns were almost the smallest in the district, was looking at it from a sentimental and not a business point of view. Mrs Robertson stated that her mother wished to retain the hotel in spite of the extra license fees.[3]
The result of the hearing was that the hotel was to be closed.[4]
