Hi Paul,

I hope this may be of some use to you regarding the Posthouse. I'm afraid that I have no pictures for you, only memories.

The "Posthouse" then "Ramada" was formerly known as the "Dover Motel." It was jointly owned by Hammonds and Townsend Thoreson, if my memory serves me correctly.. I worked there in 1979 the hotel had only been open about a year and only two wings were operational, the third being added later. The manager then was Mr Peter Parker who had previously worked at the Holiday Inn on Townwall Street.

Regards

Simon Rolfe
