Homebush pub

The Horse and Jockey Hotel is located on the corner of Parramatta Road and Knight Street in the inner west suburb of Homebush. Originally, this was the site of a magnificent hotel, known as the Half Way House Hotel, which burnt down and was replaced by this art deco pub in the 1920s. It was called the Half Way House Hotel because it was about half way between Sydney and Parramatta on the coach track, now Parramatta Road. The new name of the pub was chosen as a reminder that the old hotel overlooked a racecourse, now long gone.
