Summary edit
| Description |
41 Railway Street, Gatton. This pub is famous for the fact that is connected with the “Gatton Murders”. On 26 December 1898 the sisters Norah and Ellen Murphy and their brother Michael were murdered in particularly strange circumstances. The Murphy family, who had lived in the Gatton area for over 20 years, farmed outside Gatton. On the night of 26 December Michael took his sisters to a dance at the Gatton Divisional Hall. They left their parent's farm by cart at about 8.00pm and arrived in Gatton at 9.00pm. The dance had been cancelled due to a lack of young women. The trio decided to return home and on the way they were waylaid by the murderer, and their bodies were found the next morning. The pub's connection with the murders was that after the bodies were found, they were stored in its upstairs rooms until an autopsy could be performed in Room 5. The rooms are no longer used as hotel accommodation, and the murders have never been solved.....
