Charles Douglas Haylock was the proprietor of the Wellington Inn in 1844 and although he intended closing the Inn on several occasions, it wasn't until 1853 that he finally closed the doors, intending to continue in the wholesale business of selling wines and spirits. (38)

The Wellington was situated in the centre of the township of Paterson and commanded the most respectable business in the district. In 1846, Mr. Haylock invited those desirous of purchasing the Inn to visit the premises as he was confident that personal inspection would be the best recommendation. Immediate possession would be given and the furniture and fixtures could be taken at a valuation. He was also selling a cottage with garden and outbuilding situated on the banks of the Hunter river at Raymond Terrace as he was intending to return to England (39)

In September 1849 Edward Haylock (brother or son?) 'late of the Wellington Inn' thanked patrons for their support over the previous 12 months he had been at the Wellington and announced that he had taken over the Farmers Glory at Hinton (68)

C.D. Haylock returned to the business of the Inn and remained there until at least 1854.

He died at Waverley in March 1876.
