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.
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. |
