Caledonia Hotel. Plymouth
« on: Saturday 26 July 08 18:13 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

Does anyone have any information about the Caledonia Hotel in Plymouth at the turn of the century.

I found a photocopy of a photo in my grandfathers papers. I know the Palmer family bought it and lived there and that it overlooked the harbour. I can't get the photo to upload as it keeps telling me the file is too big but I would be grateful for any help.

Hi

I am not sure if this helps but here is a link to the Caledonia ... I was thinking that maybe the owners may be able to help with old photos and occupants;

Hi

Can I suggest you e-mail the local Studies library in Plymouth who hold a large collection of information and photos.  They are at
localstudies[at]plymouth.gov.uk     replace [at] with @

They are more than happy to answer any enquiries.
