Royal Hotel

This may have been built in the 1850s, though the Royal Hotel itself opened in 1864.

 

This is a famous picture of Captain Tupper, a leader of the 1911 seamen’s strike, addressing supporters from the balcony. 

​

The pub was the last watering hole for seamen before they went through the subway to join their vessels.

​

It is now converted into flats.
