  The Golden Age Hotel in Mayne Street south side between Angove's Store and the Greatest Wonder of the World - Henry Hilton, licensee. The hotel was built by Joseph Deitz in Dec 1870. Deitz was a member of the party that found the first gold on Red Hill, Gulgong. In July 1871 he sold out to Paul Hartford from Mudgee and erected a new hotel at Canadian Lead, the United States Hotel. Henry Hilton who previously had the Hotel de France in Herbert Street, became the licensee by June 1872 and some time after this photo was taken he changed the name to the Hotel de France. Later in 1873 the hotel closed and it became the home and shop front of a series of chemists, including Charles Bird and Dr Zimmler. The site remains as a chemist shop in Gulgong.
