Horses and riders outside the Crown Hotel, Rocklea, Queensland in 1899. John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland |
This way of placing the licensees name prominently can also be seen in the 1880 photo of The Glenrowan Inn, site of the Kelly Gang shoot out in that year.

What a beautiful Library :) The horses seem so mighty :) The blog is quite informative
Hi Tanya, I love to receive your comments. Yes it is a beautiful building and was actually the Crown Hotel a local drinking hole or public hotel and bar. The photograph came from the collection at the State Library of Queensland
Do you know if the pub was on Fairfield or Ipswich Road at Rocklea?
