Prince Alfred Hotel
Prince Alfred Hotel (Samuel Inder proprietor), Blackstone Hill. The “Prince Alfred” was established in 1864 by the present proprietor, who has conducted the business for fully a quarter of a century. It was the first licensed house in Hill's Creek. The building contains twelve rooms, including eight bed and two sitting rooms, and a dining-room seated for twelve guests. There is a stable with seven stalls and three loose boxes, and there are twenty-six acres of freehold in addition to leasehold, attached to the hotel. Good paddocks are therefore available for stock. [The license of this hotel was transferred in June, 1904]
