More about this scene

Built in 1898 at a cost of £20,000, the Beacon Hotel boasted its own stables and livery school, and was an extremely popular establishment during the first three decades of the 20th century. Its subsequent decline eventually saw it transformed into a training centre for Lloyds Bank employees.

While undertaking Family Research, during 2011, I discovered that James Christopher Poyle, previously unknown to us as a member of my wife's extended family, passed away at Marchants Hill Camp, on 9th April 1955. I would apprecate hearing from anyone who might have known anything about James and/or his life while he was a resident there. Many thanks in anticipation of a reply!
