Royal Hotel, 1 St Johns Road, St Leonards

This very large 1870s building stands immediately south east of St Leonards Warrior Square Railway Station and was originally and very briefly named the Railway Hotel, but this was changed circa 1876 to the quaint "Mr's Cambell's Hotel" to avoid confusion with the Railway Inn which stands just across the road. (see separate listing for the Railway Hotel, King's Road St Leonards, which should more properly read Railway Inn). To confuse matters even more, widowed landlady Mary Cambell had previously been landlady of that pub (the Railway Inn in King's Road). Mr's Cambell's Hotel was renamed the Royal Hotel in 1884 following a change of landlord. Advertising of the day referred to it as "The Royal Family & Commercial Hotel." The pub remains open, but the hotel side of the business is currently for sale, although the hotel rooms may have been converted into flats. ***
