Converted Grain Silos - a photo on Flickriver

From this angle, taken down beside the Tamar River, one can see immediately the origins of this hotel. These grain silos stored wheat that was shipped out of Launceston during the time when its shipping industry still functioned. Today, of course, visitors to Launceston find it hard to imagine that this was once Tasmania's biggest industrial port. The Tamar is silting up (the subject for another discussion), King's Wharf is dilapidated, and this land was left as a flood prone swamp.

But local business interests, the Peppers Hotel chain, and clever architectural design, have not only revitalised the old structure, but turned this whole seaport precinct into a hive of activity.
