This
tankard
promotes
Tisch's
Terminus
Hotel
in
New
Plymouth.
The
hotel
was
sited
where
Richmond
Estate
now
stands
on
the
New
Plymouth
foreshore.
According
to
local
historian
Murray
Moorhead
writing
in
the
Sunday
Express
on
15
February
1990
Tisch
purchased
the
hotel
on
the
site
in
1882.
"He
renamed
the
hotel
Railway
Terminus
Hotel,
a
mouthful
which
soon
became
locally,
and
then
officially
shortened
to
just
Terminus
Hotel.
Tisch
had
some
grand
ideas
for
the
development
of
the
foreshore
in
front
of
the
hotel.
In
1895
he
obtained
permission
from
the
Harbour
Board
to
build
a
93m
pier
out
into
the
sea,
complete
with
a
theatre,
bandstand
and
amusement
public
hall
at
the
end.
Although
shares
were
actually
sold
in
the
project,
nothing
came
of
it.
In
fact
its
failure
may
have
been
the
reason
behind
Tisch's
sale
of
the
hotel
later
that
year."
