Former Baden Powell Hotel in Redfern (Sydney)

Former Baden Powell Hotel

"The Baden Powell Hotel was situated on the corner of Regent and James Streets, Redfern NSW 2016. I had a few beers there over the years. The pub closed as a pub in 1970's – 1980's. I used to drive past the pub on my way to work every morning, saying to myself "I must take a photo of the pub before it goes." That never happened. The hotel was demolished overnight in the late 1980's. I stand corrected on these dates.

Beers and cheers, Jon

"Thanks for that info My Great Grandfather apparently built that hotel and others around Sydney according to family folklore though I think he may have held the Licence for them at some time he was an Architect " - Cheers Larraine

"I have been researching my Family History and found my Uncle (Gordon Fitzroy Woodlands) was listed in the 1933 & 1936 Electoral Rolls as Licensee of the Baden Powell Hotel.
Do you have any records to confirm this and if you had any other information, it would be appreciated." - Graeme.

Thanks Graeme will pass on any info that is sent in.
