Botany, pubs

These two pubs are located on Botany Road, in the eastern suburb of Botany. The Captain Cook Hotel (left) was built in 1906 in the Federation period, Arts and Craft style. It was renovated in 2007 but most of its heritage elements, especially the exterior, were maintained. The Waterworks Hotel (right) was formerly known as the Endeavour Hotel. It was originally built in 1930 and was totally renovated in 2008. The name comes from the Sydney Waterworks which were established in Botany in 1858 and supplied water to Sydney until 1886 from the many springs in this area.
