The Bear Hotel...But where is it!
« on: Tuesday 10 July 18 19:36 BST (UK) »
Does anyone recognise this location...I can see The Bear Hotel. Maybe Bowling Street and Good Station?
Thanks for looking.

Crickhowell.
I'll get a picture.

I can't quite line up google ... and there's a lot more street clutter, but this link might take you to google streetview looking directly at it.

Another one for Crickhowell - it's the High Street, with Table Mountain in the background. Another old photo here:

http://history.powys.org.uk/school1/crickhowell/high.shtml

NB - the photo has a big clue in the embossed address top left - it's a town with a fairly long name ending in -owell  ;)
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

That's a great find Cristeen...good to know that it is still there and not another "Aldi" casualty  :D

Thanks for taking the time to look. It's very good of you.
