Tooheys Brewery and their hotel interests (COSHA)
Date & Time
City of Sydney Historical Association presents a lecture by Dr Lisa Murray.
Dr Lisa Murray, the 2021 Hertzberg Fellow, has been exploring the business archive of Tooheys Limited held in the State Library of NSW.
Lisa will share some of her insights and discoveries from tapping these historical records, including the brewery’s involvement in the Tied-House System to expand their market share.
She will also demonstrate the digital mapping she has undertaken of Tooheys tied-hotels, based on data extracted from the collection.
This significant collection promises a deeper understanding of the way the breweries controlled the industry and influenced pub culture in New South Wales.
