Royal Hotel Ww2 And Afterwards
A Memory of Ilkley.
From 1939 to 1959 I lived in West View, just a couple of hundred yards from the Royal. We were friendly with the proprietress of the time, a Miss Florence Shute. Miss Shute had a brother who lived in our flats and the latter had a son, Peter, who was injured in the War and who had a Dutch wife called Helen. Miss Shute had a mid brown Austin 10 Cambridge car registered CWR 442. At the Wells Road side of the hotel, opposite the dark tree on the right of the picture, was a public bar (Tetley's). The hotel was demolished in, perhaps, the early 1960s and was replaced by the present multi storey apartments.
