PublisherCapital Heritage Ltd, Archaeology and Heritage ConsultancyDate of publicationSeptember 2018DescriptionArchaeological assessment of 662-672 Fergusson Drive, prepared in relation to the construction of a retirement complex. Because this location was known to have been occupied prior to 1900 an archaeological assessment was required by law before this work could be undertaken.
This property was granted to James McHardie in the 1850s who built the Highland Home Inn in 1859 (on land adjacent to 662-672 Fergusson Drive, which is now the BUPA retirement home). In 1865 it was purchased by John Wilkins in March 1865 who renamed it to Railway Hotel in February 1872.
