Apologies, I misread the directory, it's between the beginning of Stirling St (the southern end) and James Street

That makes more sense. Actually the directory threw me off track too -I hadn't seen the relevence of those comments like "Here is lincoln st:"

The Shaftesbury, if it was indeed on the block in question, is most certainly not there any more. Being young still

I can only remember that part of Perth up to about 10 years ago, when it was a vacant block. I believe a new building has been built there now.

during the 90s I reckon I have knew every alcohol outlet in the state, not that I am a dedicated drinker but I had a transport buisines, delivering wines and spirits throughout WA. The point being that I never came across this hotel, so it would seem that it dissappeared between 1975 and 1990.

As for location, do you think that it may have been where the police special branch car park is?

Hi Denn,

Currently, it's the Rick Hart Superstore formerly the Myer Megamart.

Sharon,
try googling Canturbury Court, it's what the Shaftesbury was renamed, though not until after 1949.

Hi there all. I realise these posts were from 2008 - but I can tell you the Shaftesbury hotel definitely is not there and yes there is a multi storied car park built there. it was a vacant site for some time prior.

It was built by Thomas Alfred Shafto - an ancestor of mine in about 1904. He then built the shaftesbury Theatre next to it which in the 1960's had a car park built on that site. That was flattened back in the 1990's.
If any one wants a history of the building they can contact me.

it became the Luor, tivoli, a roller skate rink, Ballroom etc.
Cheers

I had to signup just answer this post, Id like to know who you are to as about the Shaftesbury. This old Hotel means a lot to me because when I was a child and up until I was a teenager my father owned it. So I had lots of good times and have lots of story's to tell... But sadly now it no longer exists
