The Carlton Inn was a former pub in Carlton, Melbourne, in the Australian state of Victoria. Built c. 1856, it was controversially[1] illegally demolished without planning or heritage approval on the weekend of 15–16 October 2016. Before demolition, it was one of the oldest buildings in the Carlton area. In its last years, it was known as the Corkman Irish Pub.[2]
