Golden Fleece Inn / New Golden Fleece Inn - Scone

In 1844 the Royal Mail left Singleton and called at Thomas Dangar's Golden Fleece Inn, St. Aubyn's every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday morning at 4am before moving on to Richard Ward's Inn at Muswellbrook where passengers could partake of breakfast. From Singleton to Scone the fare was 16/- 3

By 1845 Thomas Glanfield had taken over the Golden Fleece. He promised to provide the 'good English fare proverbially known on the Eastern and Western roads of Great Britain'. He provided wines and spirits of the finest vintage and both British and foreign champagne, London porter and a well supplied larder. Glanfield was later innkeeper at the Scone Inn

In 1847 the Golden Fleece was advertised to be let by H. Richards of 'Neotsfield' (Henry Dangar's Estate). Said to be in full trade and capable of doing a large amount of business, the Golden Fleece was advertised as a first rate business 45

In December 1850, Thomas Dangar moved the license of the Golden Fleece Inn to a 'commodious house erected in Liverpool Street, Scone - the first Licensed House on arriving at Scone from Murrurundi' - to be named 'The New Golden Fleece Inn'

No expense had been spared in the construction of the 'New Golden Fleece Inn'. A 12 stall stable, coach house and extensive stockyard was provided and horse and bullock paddocks were supplied with grass and water.

Adjoining the new Inn in Kelly Street, Dangar had reopened his Tradesman's Store.
