Ice Cold Beers At The Silverton Hotel

Third time’s a charm at the Silverton Pub. The original hotel, a single story building, was built in 1884 to serve the growing number of miners in the town. A two storey model replaced this a year later as the growing Silverton population got thirstier and thirstier. Mining is thirsty work after all1 The building burnt down in 1918 and this is when the Silverton Post Office became the current Silverton Hotel. The ruins of this hotel have been retained adjacent to the accommodation, as it was the birth place of a company as we know today BHP Billiton. A copy of the companies incorporation hangs in the Hotel. While the mining Industry has developed in Broken hill the Silverton Pub has continued to thrive. These days it’s a mainstay of the film industry and a tourist mecca.
