About The Pier Hotel, George Town Hotel
The Pier Hotel was first opened in 1856 as a single story building under the management of Mr G M Ruttley, who was the licensee for many years and retired from the hotel in 1892 to live in Launceston. He was followed by Henry Weight in 1892 through to 1900.
Mr G W Plank was licensee from 1900 to 1920.
During that period he conducted a coach service in competition with a Mr H K Harris. Both services started with horse-drawn vehicles and later motor buses. They ran between George Town and Low Head, meeting the ferry steamers from Launceston, and also the coach service to the gold mining town of Lefroy. Apart from the external activities of the owner, The Pier was renowned for its sea baths, food and accommodation.
The original building was demolished circa 1902 and was replaced by the two-story weatherboard building that greets visitors today.
The following people were licensees of The Pier from 1921 onwards:
- E. P. Decker
- G. W. Martin
- Thomas Deegan
- J.W. Deegan
- H.G. Scott
- J.D. Taylor
There are probably others, but the official records from 1971 to 1989 are not very clear.
Since 1989, the current owners have owned and managed the business of The Pier Hotel and have carried out major renovations at various stages to the main building and the overall site.
