Having worked here '87-'91 I am interested to know when it was actually built and if there's anyone on here or related to anyone who worked here over the years. Many thanks

Hi, welcome to the forum. Wave I'm not the person for 20th century stuff but maybe someone else can help. Meanwhile, here's a link to the Old Maps website.

I find that dates on Old-Maps are not always accurate but from that it looks like early 80's (not on the 1980 map) although I did think it was older than that.

Wasn't it also known as the Esso Motel?

This hotel opened in 1972 or 73, I remember visiting the lounge with friends to check it out as we lived close to the "new hotel"

There wasn't a petrol station there, nor were there rooms for truck drivers. I do seem to remember staff accommodation, below the restaurant, however my wife and I were lucky enough to be given a hotel room, during the time we worked there.

I worked there as well in early 90s. Lynne Snow was General Manager. Great hotel at the time.
