Date qualifiercircaFormatPhotograph - Glass NegativeDescriptionThis intersection was known as Bowden’s Corner. Thomas Kite from Bathurst built a city residence here in the 1840s, which later became a pub run by Mrs Bowden. The small corner building was a landmark because a large Norfolk Pine grew through the middle of it, which was used as a coat rack for the hotel patrons. The building and tree were demolished in 1909.
