OUR old photo this week shows the two sections of Walter Butler’s Victoria Hotel. 

It was located over from the Bathurst Railway Station on the corner of Keppel and Havannah streets. The photo was taken around 1912. Walter Butler was licensee from 1910 to 1920, in a decade that saw the world at war. Walter was a keen supporter of the ladies who were raising comfort funds for those young volunteers serving overseas at the front during World War One.
