Central Hotel
The Central (formaly known as The Emu) Hotel was established in 1879 located at the rear of the Globe,
the Hotel continued trading at that location until late 1882 when it was relocated to it's current location.
During the relocation of the Hotel the license name was changed from the "old" to the "new" Emu Hotel.
After extensive research on the history of The Central Hotel we have come to an end at 1924,
therefore we haven't found out when the license name was changed to The Central Hotel. -
