Rose Hotel, Bunbury
The Rose Hotel is a historic hotel in Bunbury, Western Australia. Both the hotel itself and the adjacent bottle shop are heritage listed buildings. It is located at the corner of Wellington Street and Victoria Street, in Bunbury's central business district. History Bunbury's first hotel licences were granted in the 1840s, and by 1865 two hotels were operating, and a licence had been granted for a third. In 1865 Samuel Rose, a migrant and agricultural labourer, applied for licence. It was initially refused as the existing hotels were considered sufficient for Bunbury. A petition in support of the proposed hotel, signed by the town's residents, was presented to the Governor John Hampton; he directed the licensing bench to reconsider the application, and a licence was then issued that year. Initially a single-story Rose Hotel was built on Victoria Street; Rose soon built a two-storey structure near the corner with Wellington Street, with a bar and dining room downstairs and fou ...

Australian Pub
An Australian pub or hotel is a public house or pub for short, in Australia, and is an establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises. They may also provide other services, such as entertainment, meals and basic accommodation. History Origin The Australian pub is a direct descendant of the British and Irish pub. The production and consumption of alcoholic drinks has long played a key role in Western commerce and social activity, and this is reflected in the importance of pubs in the British colonisation of Australia after 1788. However, in the 19th century the local version evolved a number of distinctive features that set it apart from the classic British or urban Irish pub. In many cases, pubs were the first structures built in newly colonised areas, especially on the goldfields, and new towns often grew up around them. Pubs typically served multiple functions, simultaneously serving as hostelry, post office, restaurant, meeting plac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

State Register Of Heritage Places
The State Register of Heritage Places is the heritage register of historic sites in Western Australia deemed significant at the state level by the Heritage Council of Western Australia. History In the 1970s, following its establishment of the National Trust of Western Australia, the National Trust created a set of classified properties, and following legislation requiring inventories, Local Government authorities in Western Australia produced a subsequent set of Municipal Inventories, which then resulted in items then being included in the state register. As a result most register records include dates and details from the three different processes. In some cases authorities other than councils had governance over localities such as ''Redevelopment'' authorities, and they also provided Heritage Inventories in that stage of the process. Registration was not always a successful protection. The Mitchells Building on Wellington Street was State heritage listed in 2004 but demoli ...

Bunbury, Western Australia
Bunbury is a coastal city in the Australian state of Western Australia, approximately south of the state capital, Perth. It is the state's third most populous city after Perth and Mandurah, with a population of approximately 75,000. Located at the south of the Leschenault Estuary, Bunbury was established in 1836 on the orders of Governor James Stirling, and named in honour of its founder, Lieutenant (at the time) Henry Bunbury. A port was constructed on the existing natural harbour soon after, and eventually became the main port for the wider South West region. Further economic growth was fuelled by completion of the South Western Railway in 1893, which linked Bunbury with Perth. Greater Bunbury includes four local government areas (the City of Bunbury and the shires of Capel, Dardanup, and Harvey), and extends between Yarloop in the north, Boyanup to the south and Capel to the southwest.
