    In the heart of Sydney, The Rocks is the city's district of restaurants, galleries, and shops. But its streets were not always so welcoming; during the 19th century, they were the haunt of ex-convicts and sailors who wandered among buildings made of clay and wood, thatched roofs, or locally quarried sandstone-the district was named for the latter-looking for trouble. Many original structures have been razed and replaced, however one of the few to have survived in this is the Lord Nelson, Sydney's oldest pub brewery that has been serving pints and other libations since 1841. ...
