Tinker, tailor, and a heritage pharmacy in NSW
Hockey’s Accommodation at the old Chemist shop, Millthorpe.
Located between Orange and Blayney about 3.5 hours north-west of Sydney, the tiny National Trust-classified town of Millthorpe has quaint down to a “t”. From the 1870s railway station to the 1877 Commercial Hotel and the 1882 flour mill, Millthorpe is a step back in time.
For those keen on a fully immersive heritage experience, there’s Hockey’s Accommodation at The Old Chemist, founded by F.W. Hockey in the early 20th century. This elegant three-room dwelling is a stone’s throw from the town centre and has been thoughtfully fitted out, including with an old pharmacy cabinet full of prehistoric potions, lotions and trinkets. There’s also a framed order form dated April 1918, promising “prescriptions accurately dispensed” and “teeth carefully extracted”. (Just don’t dream of the dentist’s chair, like I did.)
