History

Historical notes:

The first settlement at Alfredtown was Mrs Mary Ryan and her seven children, who took up Clandore in the late 1860s. Helen Ryan, a daughter of Mary Ryan, married Percy Rogers and set up a hotel north of the present shanty. Following the flood of 1870 the road was re-routed and they then built their hotel opposite Clandore. It was initially called the Prince Alfred Hotel. 1978 renovations revealed the original shingles beneath the iron roof.
