What sort of year are you looking at?

Good luck

Olivers Mount is a Scarborough landmark, but I can't find a reference to a Princess Royal Hotel, sorry

Thanks for your time - it's much better when people give full info, isn't it??? 

I came across it while transcribing Scarborough 1861 and it wasn't in the middle of a street, just something Mount. I'd heard of Oliver's Mount and it does look a possibility - but does it make sense?

If anyone wants to take a look the ref is piece 13, folio 86 page 3.
