Dear Joe,

I wasn't suggesting that you played snooker.
I just thought you may remember the name of the
pub - which was very famous in its day - if you were
ever in Parramatta. I'll keep searching though - it's
got to be listed somewhere in the history of the city.
Thanks anyway.

Foxy,

The Commercial Hotel on the corner of Hassall and Station Streets ?

Joe

Dear Joe,

Thanks for that. I will check it out.
It was out in front of the hotel where dad fell
on his way to work that hot summer's day.
He was with a friend
who called an ambulance. Dad died in the ambulance
on his way to Parramatta Hospital. I was just wondering
if that hotel was still standing or had been demolished.
Anyway, I'll check it out.

Thank You.

Dear Joe,

I think its was the - Argyle Street Hotel at -
111 - 127 Argyle Street Parramatta. It's been
demolished.

The commercial Hotel is on the wrong side of the
railway station.

What a pity ! If I came back to Sydney for a visit, we could have had a game of snooker there :)

Joe
