A bit of history on The Sando posted 2 days ago by blogger Shirley Pena ... The Sandringham hotel, located at the southern end of busy King Street, Newtown, Sydney, Australia, was built in the 1860′s and originally was a coach house-style hotel. In the early years the hotel played host to and accommodated traveling actors who were performing at local theaters, business men and travelers to Sydney.
It
played a significant role in the community, and staged many local
community events on its original balcony such as election and community
speeches. On certain occasions it even acted as the local morgue! It was
recognized this year by the Marrickville Council as the oldest existing
business in its municipality.

The Commonwealth Bank is attempting to close The Sandringham Hotel even though the owners have never missed a payment. They need to wait until the Senate enquiry is complete before winding up the hotel.
Do not bank with The Commonwealth Bank if you support live music in Sydney.
