Hi everyone how are you all fairing up? I found this picture while exploring thought you might like to see. Info included: History of the Sir William Wallace Hotel: Established in 1879, the Sir William Wallace Hotel was but one of a number of buildings which formed an integral part of the ship-building and industrial history of the local area. The close proximity to Balmains thriving docks ensured strong patronage which, in spite of the gentrification of the area, continues to this day. The pub is a heritage-listed building of local significance built in the Victorian Filligree style. It is a two storeyed corner hotel with a panelled lace upper verandah, timber posts to street and iron lace ballustrades, and is a rare example of a hotel still in its original state. Named after the 13th Century Scottish knight, Sir William Wallace, the pub has been used as a location for several Australian television shows and films. Second picture: A historic Scottish style pub in the heart of Sydneys Balmain peninsula, the Sir William Wallace Hotel is popular with both locals and overseas visitors alike. Well known for the being the drinking hole of actor Mel Gibson, as well as the location for such classic Aussie television series as Water Rats and films such as Caddie, the Willy Wally has everything you could ask for in a pub. Every man dies... not every man really lives...
