Shaftesbury Hotel, Perth

[Peter Spark]

could you please email me sparkpeter@bigpond.com
I would like to know more about the buildings and locations around the Shaftesbury Hotel.
It is all very confusing as looking at the photos there seems to be two Canterbury Court buildings so would love to know by you drawing the location of each of the buildings - Shaftesbury Hotel, Canterbury Court, the arcade you speak about, the multstorey carpark put up in 1959 (looks like right next to hotel cnr James and Stirling st - shaftesbury was further down stirling towards the bend.  Please would love to correspond and get the history correct.
Cheers

I stayed in the Shaftesbury Hotel in Perth July 1983. I was visiting on the US Aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson. I had a great time, they had a small bar that had live bands at night. Saw Wendy and the Rockets at a show close by. And when you left the Hotel and went to your left there was a bar down the street that played alot of good rock music. I later found out it was a aborigine bar, I'm white. Lots of Swan and Emu lager. You could tell the hotel was old, but it was affordable and a lot of fun. here is a flyer from another club I visited.
