We sketched Historical Clarence Corner this morning in Stanley Street. Stanley Street was named after Frederick Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby, the United Kingdom's Colonial Secretary, 1885-1886.
I sat outside the Clarence Corner Hotel, now known as the Brew House. The Hotel was named after 500-ton steamship Clarence that plied between Brisbane and Sydney at that time. by builder Thomas Hayselden. The hotel obtained its licence on 8 December 1863
Clarence Corner was Brisbanes first Township, and it was quite a large one. In 1893 a devastating flood forced most of the retailers across river to Queen Street.
