Dear WestCoastBC

I have tried to send you a personal message but it says your in box is full.  We are indeed related.  My email address is Julie@sunnysidehouse6.freeserve.co.uk
I believe we have a photograph of Great Granddad stood outside the Queen Hotel during the Royal Show in 1907 - happy to send you a copy.
Regards

Julie

Sorry I am having to send this to everyone on this link but I received a personal message re a lady living at the Queen in 1904 but have been unable to reply personally (something to do with too few posts?).
My grandfather (A Sawyer) at the time you mention was the landlord, we have a photograph from the archives showing his name above the door during the Royal Show in 1907.  E.S/E Sawyer would be my great grandmother Eliza.  I will ask my brother in law who has done more research if he can shed any light on your relative living at the Queen.

My Grandfather (Alfred Sawyers) and his twin sister were born at the Queen Hotel in 1898.  His father (also Alfred) ran the hotel with his wife Eliza.  I remember my grandmother telling me stories of the maids leaving a downstair window unlatched so my grandfather could sneak back in late at night.  She talked about the huge roasts they cooked on a Sunday and of the 'funny old man' who had the shop opposite ........one James Usher!  I have a silver teapot from The Queen dated if I remember correctly about 1880's.

Of course I wish I had asked more!  I also frequented the Queen in the early seventies.

We had relatives visiting from Canada about 16 years ago when it was a pizza restaurant we got to look round upstairs but sad to say if was very neglected.
