Newcastle City Mystery Pub location

13 September 2011

"Here's a poser for you, seeing you are a bit of a pub man. What was the name of the pub on the corner of High and Hunter St in Maitland that was destroyed by fire when the Cappers Building beside it burnt down in 1971? It was the "something" Steer Hotel. - Dennis"

Dennis, How about the "Volunteer Hotel" ? previously known as the Governor Bourke.

"Great work mate, you are right. All I could see in a picture of the Maitland flood was half the word Volunteer with the N looking like an S so it looked like Steer but as soon as I read your email Volunteer clicked with my old memory bank. Great work mate, you are right. Thanks John"

Now worries, does anyone have a pic?
