Settlers Arm Hotel

DESCRIPTION

NameSettlers Arms HotelTypeBuildingHotelDescriptionRobert Martin built the Settler's Arms in 1856, on the south west corner of Addison and Wentworth Streets. The inn was a meeting place for many events, most notably the signing of the petition in 1858 to form the Municipality of Shellharbour.

The inn was destroyed by fire on 8th April 1872. An adjoining stone building (later known as the 'bottle shop') also owned by Robert Martin, was saved in the fire.

The New Royal Hotel was built on the site in 1891.
