Hello Listers, Well, that is the truth...The Jetty was on Lady Bay and I have a photo of the original STEAM PACKET HOTEL on my wall, above my computer. This building was the original and first bond store of Manifold & Bostock on Lady Bay, when Warrnambool was declared a port. The old bond store was extended to serve many purposes at a later time, one being the Steam Packet Hotel, which incorporated the old bond store, while another was the Lady Bay Hotel. While visiting a few years ago, we were shown some of the walls, that were from the original bond store. We believe the building is now demolished. After the bond store moved to cnr.Timor and Leibig Streets c.1857, many businesses worked in the old store which was incorporated in the new ventures. This shows that the marriage could have taken place in the Steam Packet Hotel...most probably...but I don't have dates to hand just now.. I have dates in file. We have just suffered some breakdown on XP tonight and I am working in Windows '98 for a change. What a pain.....Just as well Matthew can do this, as I would be lost... There is much more I can share with you regarding these early days on Lady Bay and bond stores. However, for now, I must try and get my files back.... Sincerely Thelma (Bostock) Birrell. > However I've just looked up the Warrnambool rate books for the 1870s and I > see that there was an area of town called "Jetty Allotments".
