Grenfell is no exception and has a deep connection with historical pubs and hotels, but most of this information was hard to find… until now!

A project from the Australian National University Archives has brought the history of Grenfell and surrounds online for the community to enjoy.

The Australian National University Archives has a new online exhibition showcasing the history of Tooth and Company, a significant New South Wales brewer, and the many hotels it owned and supplied throughout the state.

They include:

Grenfell

* Albion Hotel

* Dowdalls Hotel

(ex Criterion Hotel)

* Empire Hotel

* Exchange Hotel

* Railway Hotel

* Royal Hotel

* Tattersalls Hotel

Greenethorpe

* Shamrock Hotel

Caragabal

* Royal Hotel

Quandialla

* Bland Hotel

This exhibit is available online along with a special interactive map, providing you access to valuable historical information, as well as incredible photographs. The Australian National University Archives has access to additional images and records on most of the hotels.

The online exhibition links to all the records located in the Australian National University Open Research repository, which are available for users to view and download.

For any questions regarding the rights and usage of photographs, or for more information, please contact the Australian National University Archives at butlin.archives@anu.edu.au

Australian National University is committed to making important collections such as these available online, as it provides access to world-class resources to the broader community.
