History

On 22 March 1915, the hotel was included on a list of hotels to be deprived of their licenses. This list was complied by the Licenses Reduction Board in Melbourne. The Ballarat West licensing district hearings on this list were to be held on 27 April. The hotel was one of about 40 hotels closed by the License Reduction Board and ceased trading at 9.30pm on 31 December 1915. The court paid £875 compensation.

The People

• In March and December 1873 the license was granted to John Wilson.
• In 1888 the publican was Samuel Trend.
• In 1910 the publican was Mrs. E. A. Boanas.
