Summary

Heinrich Jahn Wellington Inn, Currie Street, Adelaide. 'Commonly known as 'Wellington Inn', it was first licensed in 1848 by Wm. McLean under the imposing title of 'Wellington Prince of Waterloo Hotel.' In the 70s a two-storey building superseded the old structure. It stood on part of the two acres of land given by one, Wm. Leigh, the Little Aston, Staffordshire, England, in 1840 to the Church of England. When the original lease expired in 1917, the old building was demolished to make way for the present Dalgety House. In its heyday it was renowned for its good accommodation, both for man and beast.'
