West Australian (Town Centre, OLDHAM)

1898 map showing location of the West Australian.

The West Australian was a beerhouse dating to before 1830 when it was little more than window opening out onto the street through which beer was passed. In the 1880s it was a well established beerhouse although it was in a poor state of repair. In 1894 it had been improved and had accomodation and an enclosed yard. It closed in 1906 and was demolished around 1935. The location of the former West Australian today would be the grass verge between Oldham Sixth Form College and West Street roundabout.
