Guildford House Hotel 2014

Above image from Google, May 2014, showing the former "Guilford House Hotel."

 

Another one mentioned by the Deal History Society, but not much in the way of information added to their list.

They give the address as being West Side and between the "Bohemian" and the "Clarendon Hotel" which would place this somewhere between 47 and 51 Beach Street.

They also say it closed circa 2004 but give no indication of when it opened for trade.

From an email received 19 January, 2012

I had bed & breakfast here in '66 with a gang of lads before catching the Dover ferry for a camping holiday in France and Italy.

The hotel front, now known as Guildford House, has changed little over the years and is clearly seen on the Google street cam.

Hope the details on the receipt (below) are of use for your archive.

Regards,

Frank Murphy.

Guildford Hotel receipt

Above showing the 1966 receipt.

From an email received 27 December 2014.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I believe that my father, Walter George Baxter, may have worked at or managed "Guildford House" 49 Beach Street Deal. This would have been approximately between 1957 and 1969.

I have enclosed a photo that I have of him, he is on the right, in front of the adjacent property.

If you may have knowledge of my Father, I would be happy to receive any information, as he was estranged from my Mother and I.

Sincerely Peter M G Cornwell (formerly Baxter)

Walter George Baxter
