| HOTELS of early THAMES compiled by Althea Barker | |||
| LAST UPDATED 1 November 2009 - A WORK IN PROGRESS :) | |||
| Intro: In the General info column are a references/information from different sources which apart from giving info on the hotel's; also serve to show when the hotel was operating. Mr Isdale's article on the 'Hotels of Thames' formed the basis to this list, and then I have attempted to source references to enlarge the picture. Bush Licences were different and may refer to different hotels. As always any extra information/corrections appreciated. | |||
| NB: There are multiple references for some items, I have tended to put the one that gave the most info. If no ref given, it is because it has been mentioned repeatedly in all sources. | |||
| PLEASE NOTE that several surnames given in differnet sources have similarities and could be spelling variants & NOT DIFFERENT PEOPLE | |||
| Locations: I have bracketed info with approx locations, a map is available online for several Hotels, via Treasury Journal article | |||

| Intro: In the General info column are a references/information from different sources which apart from giving info on the hotel's; also serve to show when the hotel was operating. Mr Isdale's article on the 'Hotels of Thames' formed the basis to this list, and then I have attempted to source references to enlarge the picture. Bush Licences were different and may refer to different hotels. As always any extra information/corrections appreciated. | ||||
| NB: There are multiple references for some items, I have tended to put the one that gave the most info. If no ref given, it is because it has been mentioned repeatedly in all sources. | ||||
| PLEASE NOTE that several surnames given in differnet sources have similarities and could be spelling variants & NOT DIFFERENT PEOPLE | ||||
