The site was later purchased to build the New Royal Hotel by Henry Frederick Mood, coachbuilder and Alderman of the Municipality of Shellharbour. The launch of G.L. Fuller's coastal steamer, the S.S. 'Dunmore', built for the blue metal trade, was celebrated at the opening of the hotel. The New Royal was destroyed by fire in 1931. The building on the left of the photo was the Steam Packet Hotel, built on land purchased from T. A. Reddall by Campbell Mercer in 1856. This building was demolished in 1979.PlaceThe New Royal HotelLocationShellharbour VillageDonorEast, MiltonPhelan, Robert
