West Maitland
Maitland Inn/ Hotel
Built by George Stone in 1830,
the license was held by Stone until the mid thirties and then by William Eckford.
William Nicholson
held the license until 1847. In 1842 he advertised that travellers could be comfortably and economically accommodated at his
'Maitland Inn' where the best of wines and spirits were always kept on
hand.
In 1847 the license for the
'Maitland Inn'
was transferred from William Nicholson to Thomas Boyd Rosseter.
The license was for the house almost opposite which had been
occupied by Mr. Ledsam and was to be known as the Maitland Hotel. Rosseter
had previously been refused a license for the
Cricketer's Arms
In
October 1849 the splendid 4 story House and Premises
known as the 'Maitland Hotel' in High Street, was
advertised for sale. Also for sale at the same time
was an adjoining 4 story house occupied at the time
by John Turner, solicitor. The buildings were said
to be eminently adapted for mercantile pursuits and
in a high degree, ornamental to the town of West
Maitland.
In 1850 the Maitland Inn, formerly
occupied by Mr. W. Nicholson was one of ten lots offered for sale. It
contained 12 rooms on the ground floor, with suitable conveniences - as
passage etc. very extensive yard and garden, with laundry, servants'
house, coach house, and stabling for four horses, well of water etc. It
