Coronation Hotel

The Coronation Hotel was built in 1911 and was likely named in honour of the coronation of King George V, the year the hotel was built.

At this time, the licensee was Mrs. Marion Black, who had applied to the Licencing Court to have the license of the Coronation Hotel transferred from William Ross to herself. The presiding magistrate entered an informal objection to a license being granted to a married woman living with her husband, however it was proven that Mrs. Black had a separate estate from her husband, and the transfer was eventually granted.

Newspaper reports document Mrs. Black being granted a further licence to operate the Coronation Hotel in 1913.

The Coronation Hotel was destroyed by fire on 9 July 1931. The fire originated in the ceiling, and the building and its contents were completely destroyed. The cause of the fire was unknown.
