A Photo of the Corporation Hotel on the corner of Corporation Road and Albert Road on 16 July 1969. The actress Wendy Richards’ (EastEnders) parents ran the hotel and she lived there as a child.
The Centre North East building (Turtle Bay restaurant ground floor) now stands on this location. The County Savings Bank and British Home Stores are shown further down Corporation Road currently the Cleveland Centre.
My father ran the Corporation Hotel from 1954 until 1970, after which, it was knocked down. I lived there until I went to work in London in 1965 aged 24.
Great memories i used to go to the bar most nights when i was in town during the sixties
A good friend of mine, who passed away last year- aged 83, told me he used to go in there eegular- he was gay& he said they would all go in there
My dad was head chef at the hotel Alfons Bielicki
Hi Pauline..remember Alf very well…great guy…terrific when buffets were the order of the day…he was so creative. My dad, manager, thought the world of him.
I left the hotel to go and work in London, in 1965.
I now live in Melbourne Australia
