Half-Forgotten Hotels of a Bygone Town
An 50 year retrospective notes a period when the town hosted 17 hotels, twice its current number. It recalls iconic venues along Wilson Street and Green Park, including the Crown, Worsham, Shawrock, Cricketers Arms, and others, once lively hubs despite lax hours and changing fortunes. The piece traces breweries, a distillery at Bungallaly, and evolving town life as enterprises faded or moved.
