The following is a set of photographs of the old hotel at Newnes.
Larger versions of each photograph can be accessed by clicking on the photograph concerned. (The size of the larger photo is given in brackets at the end of the description.)

The old "Stammers Hotel", is the last surviving building of the mining era at Newnes. This is a general view of the hotel on its present site. One of the typical cliffs to this valley is in the background. (27k)	A more recent (December 2003) photo of the hotel building, which is nearly 100 years old. (56k)
This is a recent photo of inside the kiosk (the old bar). We now have electric lights thanks to new solar panels in the yard. (25k)	The new solar panels (left) with the first cabin under construction. This now-finished cabin is a relatively large structure and is similar in style to the hotel building. (42k)
A view of the pub in the late 1960s. What is now the verandah used to be the awning over the footpath. (41k)	This photo of the hotel was taken in the early 1980s, prior to the big flood and subsequent move. It is early on a winter morning. On the old site, the building was hard up against the road.

In 1976, the rear of the pub looked like this, with several out-buildings in the back yard and on the banks of the Wolgan River. Two years later, many of these structures were destroyed or damaged in a big flood. (48k)	During another big flood in 1986, the river moved and undermined the back of the hotel building. This photo, taken when the hotel was being moved to it's new site, shows the damage that resulted. (30k)
The effects of the flood meant that the hotel building had to be moved. This was done by a group of volunteers, mainly over a single 3-day weekend in July 1987. Here one wall is being lowered. (34k)	The various sections of the structure were then carted to the new site for re-erection on a brand-new floor. (37k)
This photo, taken on the last day of the move, shows most of the walls in position, with the roof going on. Termite damage required the construction of a new wall at this end of the building. (38k)	This photo was taken about 1989, shortly after the (by then) 82-year old building had been moved to it's new location. (42k)
