Duke of Edinburgh Hotel, 2004
Patrick McGowran
opened the Duke of Edinburgh in 1867. Mrs MA Hurley was the licensee from 1895
until her death in October 1912.In
1917, then publican PG Hurley applied for a rate rebate on the property,
claiming an estimated 50% reduction of business, due to shortened hours and
increased prices of liquor since the beginning of the war. The hotel operated
as the Duke of Edinburgh until 1996, then closed for a year until it reopened
as a bar, The Duke, in 1998.In 2003, it
was converted into a function centre called SKD.
