Hangings were frequent in the early days of Sydney Town. The first gaol on George Street, now the Four Seasons Hotel, was the site of hundreds of hangings. The hill above (where Harts Pub is situated) was referred to as Gallows Hill, where locals would gather to watch the hangman work. Alexander Green, a convict in his own right, was appointed to the position of public executioner in 1828 and during 27 years hung over 490 people, including 6 women. He was instantly recognisable, having a livid scar down the side of his face – the result of an axe attack by a prisoner. In early May 1855 he was committed to a lunatic asylum for the remainder of his life.
