History in action
Original Build 1891
The building was originally known as 'The Stables' in 1891 and was owned by George Perkins.
According to the Kendall Heritage Society, the hotel provided a vital changeover place for horses drawing coaches from Taree to Port Macquarie during the 1800s. The last coach service left Taree northbound on February 31, 1913.
The first beer was served at the hotel in October 1894 after a liquor licence was granted in the same year.
… The hotel was rebuilt in 1926, after a fire.
Two local families (Comans & Bakers) formed an ownership group in 2018 and purchased the hotel. The aim was to restore the hotel to its former glory.

Now in June 2023 the street scape is being improved with a stone wall. (I didn't know this when I set out to take this as my history photo ...)
Kew's other claims to fame are as the early home of pioneering aviator Nancy Bird Walton (see comments), and the Big Axe, built to commemorate the ‘timber getters’ who traded timber in the region between the mid 18th and early 19th century.
