More about this scene

The Cliff Hotel 1908 The Cliff Hotel, recommended by the Cycle Touring Club in 1908 (their wheel symbol is mounted beside a first floor window), is now Cox's Mill Hotel; it has been extended over the off licence to the left and into the buildings to the right. The door hood has also been removed - presumably it was hit too often by motor coaches heading for the main caves and the Gorge. The buildings on the right have long gone.
