THE QUEENS HOTEL

Scotland Street - City Centre

Now boarded up and surely the next on the list for demolition The Queen's Hotel is a sorry sight to behold

Behind the old police station and next to a huge building development in the area it's now boarded up and ready to be knocked down

Thought I would snap it before it's gone..

Vern (Vernon) and Wyn (Wynnie) Hookway - keepers in late 70's - early 80's would be mortified, as am I. Loved the Queens.

Oh dear, not a pretty site.

I had my wedding reception there in the 1960s. Later I went home to change out of my wedding dress then came back to the reception

I went straight to the bar to get a drink but the landlord wouldn't serve me because he said I wasn't old enough. Once I'd got changed

in the evening he didn't realise it was the same girl who's wedding it was and thought I was some guest, but I was old enough.

Not long for this world, either. The Queens Hotel and Robert Neill's building are due to be demolished soon for a development of 229 apartments:

I think it's gone
