The Clare Hotel and the former entrance of the Carlton and United Brewery are located along Broadway, in the inner city suburb of Chippendale. The heritage listed Hotel Clare was built in 1941 in the Inter-War Functionalist style on the corner of Broadway and Kensington Street. It has also been known as the Kegroom Tavern, County Clare Inn and County Clare Hotel over the years. The Old Clare Hotel is a boutique hotel which stretches across the pub and the former Carlton & United Breweries Administration Building. The heritage listed gate of the former Kent Brewery, later Tooth's Brewery and then Carlton Brewery, stands next to the pub leading to Carlton Street. It still bears the logo and trademark of brewer Tooth and Co, Invicta the rampant stallion.

The two structures suit each other nicely.
ReplyDeleteInteresting gate with a clearance of 4.3m. Most traffic should have no problem with that.

ReplyDelete...oh, I like that rounded building on the corner.

I remember that gate, walking through it actually on my one and only visit to Australia in 1992. We went to the Kent Brewery to visit a long time employee, a security man on that very gate.
ReplyDeleteAawww. I worked at CUB Kent Brewery site for 3 years in the early 90’s (90 to 93). What a blast it was. Fantastic old building, really old school. I worked on the first floor in the accounts payable section. Closed shop of course. Couldn’t be employed there without joining the union. We had amazing benefits. 9 day fortnight, 150%(!!!) holiday loading, 17.5% superannuation contribution, 2 free cartons of beer each fortnight (in the form of tokens in your payslip that you could exchange at the bottle shop on site), PLUS 4 discount vouchers. Too bad I wasn’t a beer drinker! But I sold them for a nice bit of change to people who I knew or worked with. I took a redundancy when they were offered in 1993. $20K tax free plus usual redundancy payments was the sweetener.
