Statement of Significance

The Boddington Hotel was the first licensed Hotel located in the Boddington Township. Still today, it is still the only licensed Hotel in the area and as a result, the Boddington Hotel is one of the most prominent businesses in the town's commercial precinct.

Physical Description

White and dark green colours signify the building on the Bannister road commercial strip. Inside, the walls are made of red brick and characterised by wooden, country-style pub finishings. The hotel is of a traditional nature with anabundance of additions, characterised by 60's and 80's design. A large Pepper Tree dominates the front section of the hotel's entry point.

History

The Boddington Hotel was a very successful business from the time of opening, until the Industrial Extracts had closed. However, when mining became another significant industry in the Boddington district, the Hotel's business began to thrive again.
The former owners of the Boddington Hotel were, in consecutive order, the Greys, the Woods, the Prices and Townsend was the owner in 1955.
The Pepper Tree located at the hotel's entry was one of the three significant street trees surrounding the building. They were responsible for tying up horses, with steel rings embedded in their trunks. The Peppertree is the only tree remaining.
