Motel, Overlooking Estuary, Stayed At In The Early60s

A Memory of Kingsbridge.



Does anybody remember the modern two storey Motel that overlooked the estuary in the 1960s?

It was elevated with the car park below.

I am sure it has long gone and been heavily redeveloped in the passing years but I have fond memories of my stay there as a teenager.

I would love to know anything about it’s fate and especially it’s name when I stayed there.
Kings bridge Motel maybe??!!

Any comments would be so lovely.

The Paddle Steam PS Compton Castle is often photographed moored in front of the two storey Motel that I am interested in recalling, especially it’s name.
I am considering ordering a couple of photographs from Francis Frith in case the clarity of the original photo will reveal the name of the Motel on it’s Motel Sign in the foreground of the photos.These were taken in 1968 and I estimate my stay was in the spring of 1962.

Happy teenage memories of a bedroom to myself on the top floor.
