Hi Margaret, I think the Rose Inn was in High Street, West Maitland, backing onto the river. At TROVE newspapers I searched on the following terms: "rose inn" street West Maitland This first hit is an 1849 article mentioning building allotments which had frontages to High Street & were also opposite The Rose Inn. Then Googling the street with the hotel name gave me the following: http://www.jenwilletts.com/rose_inn_west_maitland.htm To get an exact location I would check further newspaper articles for any references & also old photos of high street which may include the hotel name on the front of the building. There is a mention of the Maitland Amateur Theatre being nearly opposite the Rose Inn in a Maitland Mercury newspaper article in 1893 (a repeat of an 1844 article) so if someone knows where that was, it may help. Hope that helps, Deb. -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Bauer Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 6:45 AM To: aus-nsw-hunter-valley@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HV] Durham Street West Maitland I think I might have made a mistake with the name of the Inn, and it should just be the ROSE INN somewhere in West Maitland.
